一场本我、自我和超我的较量——从弗洛伊德人格理论解读《伊芙琳》

The Conflict Among Id,Ego and Superego——An Analysis of Freud's Personality Structure in“Eveline”

在乔伊斯的短篇小说《伊芙琳》中,女主人公伊芙琳刚开始憧憬未来、渴望摆脱过去,然后陷入两难境地、内心挣扎不已,最终向现实妥协。这其实就是女主人公伊芙琳人格结构中"本我、自我和超我"三个层次之间相互较量与冲突、调整与妥协的过程。本文运用弗洛伊德的人格理论分析伊芙琳成长的过程,从"本我"的张扬,"自我"的调节,到"超我"的规训,揭示出伊芙琳在人生两难处境中面临抉择时的心路历程,有助于更细致地把握人物的行为和心理活动,进而更好地理解伊芙琳这一矛盾复杂的女性人物形象。

In James Joyce's short story'Eveline',the heroine at first desires for breaking away from the tedious reality and embracing happiness and freedom in the future,and then gets stuck in the dilemma as whether to elope with her love or stay at home,and in the end gives up to the patriarchal society. In fact Eveline's psychological process coincides with Sigmund Frued's persoanlity structure,with id,ego and superego struggling and conflicting with each other. This paper intends to explore Eveline's growing-up from the emergence of id,and modulation of ego,to the discipline of superego. Thus it may provide a better understanding of the heroine as a complicated and contrdictory woman image.
