论《第二十二条军规》中集体无意识_英语论文

On the Collective Unconscious in Catch-22

摘要

本文试图从荣格的集体无意识角度，运用原型理论对《第二十二条军规》中三个人物：米洛，梅杰·梅杰·梅杰以及约瑟连的发展进行探讨。首先，文章概述米洛是如何从一个原先的飞行员转变为另一个只追逐个人利益的人，并指出关键在于他戴上了人格面具。在此基础上，文章论述了人格面具对米洛的影响。其次，论文聚焦于梅杰·梅杰·梅杰在成长过程中性格形成的研究，分析得出梅杰·梅杰·梅杰接受了阴影。他自轻，自卑的性格由此形成。最后，文章通过分析主人公约瑟连的心理活动及其一系列的疯狂举动指明是自性发挥作用促使他成功逃离军营并开始新的生活。本论文旨在引起人们对强大而难以察觉的集体无意识的重视并试图为《第二十二条军规》的研究提供新的视角。

Abstract

The article intends to analyze three characters in Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 : Milo, Major Major Major and Yossarian by discussing their development from the perspective of archetype in Carl Gustav Jung’s collective unconscious. First of all, the thesis generally describes how Milo turns from an original pilot to another one who is living for interest only and points out the key lies in that Milo wears a persona. On this basis, the paper states that the persona influences Milo. What’s more, the paper focuses on study of the personality of Major Major Major during his growth. It is found that he accepts the shadow. Therefore his sense of inferiority and self-isolation forms. At last, the article analyzes the main character Yossarian’s mental activity and a series of his crazy behaviors, which indicate it is the individuation that stimulates his final and successful escapement from the military and helps him to start his new life. The paper mainly explores the strong and inconspicuous collective unconscious and its effects on people, aiming to draw people’s attention to the collective unconscious and try to provide a new perspective of research on Catch-22.
