爱伦·坡哥特小说中灵魂的崩溃

The disintegration of the soul in Allan Poe’s Gothic stories

19世纪浪漫主义作家爱伦·坡的哥特小说直击人的内心和灵魂,将心理探索与道德探索有机地结合起来,使哥特小说日益内在化和心理化,体现出鲜明的后现代主义特征。爱伦·坡超越其所在时代的局限性,揭示了后现代人灵魂崩溃的全过程:来自灵魂的恐惧致使人精神极度孤独和异化,一旦自我与超我的冲突达到顶峰必将走向人格分裂。

Edgar Allan Poe,a 19th century romantic writer,probes directly into the inner heart and soul of human beings in his Gothic stories.He organically combines psychological exploration with moral exploration,making Gothic stories become increasingly internalization and psychology oriented with distinctive postmodernist characteristics.Poe surpasses the limitations of his era and reveals the whole process of post-modern people’s disintegration of the soul:terror from the human soul leads to extreme loneliness and alienation,and once the conflict between ego and superego reaches its peak,it will inevitably result in split personality.
