An Archetypal Exploration of the Book To the Lighthouse  

摘要

弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫是二十世纪英国文坛上最负盛名的小说家之一，对当时著名的现代主义文学运动做出了杰出贡献。她的意识流小说一直以来受到国内外评论界的极大关注，特别是带有自传性的意识流小说《到灯塔去》出版后，更是备受瞩目。自1919年，荣格首次在《本能与无意识》中提出原型的概念，国际上对他及其理论的关注与研究一直兴盛不衰。本文从荣格原型理论角度来分析伍尔夫的这部作品《到灯塔去》。论文主要分为三个部分：第一部分简单介绍背景知识，第二部分是文献综述，最后一部分以伊洛西斯神话为基础，以原型理论为依据，对《到灯塔去》中莉丽·布里斯科这一新女性形象进行解读。

Abstract

Virginia Woolf is one of the most distinguished novelists in the 20th century and occupies all important place in the literary movement called Modernism．Her stream-of-consciousness essays and novels provide an invaluable insight into both her own life experiences and those of women at the beginning of the twentieth century．By the time To the Lighthouse was published, she received widespread and serious attention．Since 1919, when Jung first mentioned the archetype concept of civilization in the book of Instinct and Intention, the international attention at him and research on his theory has flourished ceaselessly. This thesis analyzes the book To The Lighthouse from the perspective of Jung’s archetypal theory. It is made up of three parts. The first part gives a brief introduction of background information. The second part is literature review. The last part of this thesis tries to make focus on Lily Briscoe as a woman artist who must struggle against the ideology represented by the Ramsays and just tries to employ archetypal theory to analyze Woolf’s To the Lighthouse by using archetypes of Demeter and Persephone in Eleusis Mysteries to dig out Lily Briscoe’s inner quest for unity and wholeness．
