爱伦·坡小说《黑猫》中的暗恐研究

The uncanny in The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe

短篇小说家埃德加·爱伦·坡哥特式小说不仅包含充满恐怖和神秘的超自然、死亡、厄运等多种哥特元素,而且映照了现实社会中人们异化的心理状态,《黑猫》是其经典作品之一。本文以弗洛伊德的暗恐理论、精神分析理论为基础,对小说中的暗恐色彩进行了解读,揭示了小说中暗恐效果的表现及根源。《黑猫》中暗恐母题复影的出现本质上是一种压抑的复现,疯狂是内在邪恶的外在表现,其诱因是人格的失衡。人格的失衡、压抑的社会环境以及酗酒对自我身心的伤害导致了“我”最终的悲惨结局。

Edgar Allan Poe is famous for short stories,whose Gothic novels not only contain various horrible and mysterious Gothic elements,such as supernatural,death,and misfortune but also reflect the alienated psychological state of people in real society.The Black Cat is one of his classic works.This article seeks to interpret the elements of the uncanny and explain the em⁃bodiment and root with the guidance of Freud’s theory of the uncanny and psychoanalysis.The reappearance in The Black Cat is essentially a repressive reproduction,while madness is an ex⁃ternal manifestation of inner evil which roots from personality imbalance.The imbalance of per⁃sonality,oppressive social environment and the harm of alcoholism drives“I”to suffer the tragic end.
