尤金奥尼尔进入黑夜的漫长旅程的现代性研究 尤金奥尼尔进入黑夜的漫长旅程的现代性研究 a modernity study on eugene oneills long days journey into night【中文摘要】 尤金奥尼尔(1888-1953)是美国文学史上最伟大的剧作家。进入黑夜的漫长旅程是奥尼尔后期以自己家庭为素材的一出自传体戏剧,代表了奥尼尔艺术创作的最高水平。本篇论文梳理了前人对该剧所做的研究,并在此基础上试图从现代性的角度来重新阐释作品的内涵。作为一个历史分期的概念,“现代性”标示的是一种当前性或现在性。现代性意味着一种创新的文化,在总体上具有鲜明的反传统、非理性倾向,而另一方面又表达出重建某种新的理性与秩序、重建某种信念与理想的渴望。本篇论文主要从三个方面来研究奥尼尔的这部作品,即他的悲剧思想、表现主义手法以及人物塑造的精神分析。其研究目的在于从现代性的角度出发,更加深刻地揭示这部戏剧作品的内涵,以便与他的读者和观众一起更好地欣赏和理解这部作品。【英文摘要】 eugene oneill is the greatest dramatist ever in american theatre.long days journey into night,based on his own family,represents the paramount achievement of his dramatic creation.this thesis reviews former studies on this play,and attempts to reinterpret this play from the perspective of modernity.the term “modernity” signifies the time being,and it indicates an innovating culture.modernity expressed the ambiguity,the despair,the inner anxiety of modern people,which is actually caused by the rapid development of modern civilization.this study endeavors to probe into three modernistic features of long days journey into night:his tragic vision,his expressionism,and his characterization of mary tyrone.my aim is to reveal the deep-seated meaning of his dramatic creation in the light of modernity,thus help his readers as well as his audience better appreciate the play.【中文关键词】 奥尼尔; 现代性; 悲剧思想; 表现主义; 精神分析 【英文关键词】 oneill; modernity; tragic vision; expressionism; psychoanalysis 【毕业论文目录】摘要 3 abstract 3 chapter 1 introduction 6-11 1.1 significance and objective 6-7 1.2 an introduction to eugene oneill 7-9 1.3 an introduction to long days journey into night 9-11 chapter 2 literary review 11-18 2.1 modernity defined 11-14 2.2 recent study on long days journey into night 14-18 chapter 3 oneills tragic vision 18-30 3.1 tragedy defined 19-20 3.2 greek tragedy 20-22 3.3 oneills transcendence over traditional tragedies 22-30 chapter 4 modernity study on oneills expressionism 30-43 4.1 expressionism 30-33 4.2 western symbolic tradition 33-34 4.3 oneills use of symbols in long days journey into night 34-43 chapter 5 modernity study on oneills characterization of mary tyrone 43-48 5.1 psychoanalysis and literature 43-44 5.2 the three orders of lacans theory 44-46 5.3 the characterizat
