荣格分析心理学视野下解析托马斯•哈里斯小说《汉尼拔崛起》_英语论文

Interpretation of Thomas Harris’ Hannibal Rising from the Perspective of Jung’s Analytical Psychology    

摘要

托马斯·哈里斯是美国著名悬疑小说作家及编剧，其笔下最出名的角色就是食人魔汉尼拔·莱克特。本论文试图通过荣格的分析心理学解读哈里斯作品《汉尼拔崛起》，分析影响汉尼拔心理成长的三类心理因素。首先是情结，汉尼拔的食人情结主要起源于童年创伤而形成的愧疚心理和复仇心理；而因为母亲的早逝，汉尼拔对婶婶紫夫人产生了类恋母情结。第二部分是三种原型，人格面具帮助汉尼拔伪装为常人，以掩藏复仇的欲望；阴影使汉尼拔将杀害妹妹的凶手视作必须消灭的邪恶化身；阿尼玛原型则让他在紫夫人身上发现与自己相同的嗜血欲望。第三部分为人格类型分析，内倾型人格决定了汉尼拔强大的自控力和善于隐藏真实情感的性格。这些因素的综合影响导致了汉尼拔嗜杀性格的形成。

本论文通过分析战争和文明缺失背景下人类心理变化的影响要素，帮助读者更好地从不同角度理解托马斯·哈里斯小说《汉尼拔崛起》。

Abstract 

Thomas Harris, an American novelist, screenwriter and playwright, is well known for his works of suspense and thrill. The cannibal Hannibal Lector is the most famous character in Harris’ works. This thesis endeavors to interpret three psychological factors in Hannibal’s psychological growth in Harris’ novel, Hannibal Rising, by the application of Jung’s analytical psychology. The first factor is complex. Hannibal’s cannibalism complex origins from his feeling of guilty which caused by his childhood trauma. And Hannibal’s early loss of mother results in his approximate mother complex to Lady Murasaki. The next part concentrates on three archetypes. Persona helps Hannibal pretend to be a normal teenager and conceal his desire of revenge. Because of Shadow’s effect, Hannibal sees the murderers who killed his sister as the incarnation of evil which should be eliminated. The archetype of Anima makes Hannibal finds his common feature with Lady Murasaki, being bloodthirsty. The third part is an analysis of Hannibal’s introvert psychological type which makes Hannibal good at concealing his true emotions and using revenge to end his feeling of guilt. All of these factors lead him to be a bloodthirsty revenger.

This thesis analyzes the influencing factor to human’s psychological changes in the background of wars and lack of civilization, in order to help readers understand the novels of Thomas Harris from different and deep-seated angles.
