摘要
艾米莉·狄金森是十九世纪著名的美国诗人,她的诗歌风格独特。艾米莉狄
金森打破了传统规范,她的诗歌充满了意象并可以分成生命,死亡,自然,爱情
和哲学这几个方面。在美国诗歌历史上,狄金森的诗歌以其独特的风格和丰富的
意象影响了几代的美国诗人,在美国文学历史上是一个伟大的里程碑。
本文主要运用了荣格和弗莱的原型理论来分析在狄金森的诗歌, 诗人将原
型意象和其诗歌中的意向系统结合起来抒发她的情感。原型是体现在个人身上的
来自人类集体的经验和情感,荣格认为原型的主要内容是集体无意识,而原型也
是集体无意识的外部显现。狄金森诗歌中出现的原型事件是一种追求原型的过
程,其本身也是一种原型。狄金森不自主地运用她的集体无意识创作诗歌,并
真正表达出她对生死的态度,呐喊出她对人生哲学的感悟和对爱情的向往。
本文共分为四个章节,第一章主要讲述狄金森的创作背景和原型批评理论;
第二章讨论了在狄金森诗歌中出现的原型意象;第三章集中在狄金森诗歌中的原
型仪式事件等,最后一章则是对狄金森诗歌分析所得出来的结论。狄金森诗歌的
主题主要集中在死亡和再生上, 狄金森试图通过创作诗歌来找寻死亡的意义以
及如何达到生命的不朽。许多论文都曾研究过狄金森诗歌中出现的意象和生死主
题,但是很少有人用原型批评来解读狄金森,本文的目的在于用原型理论来发掘
狄金森诗歌中的生死主题,其创新点是是发掘出诗人的潜意识并试着解读其内心
世界。

Abstract
Emily Dickinson (1830—1886) is well known as one of the most famous
American poets in the 19th century. She broke the traditional criterion to write poems
and her poems are full of images covering the themes of life, death, nature, love and
philosophy. Her poetry is a great milestone in the circle of American literature and has
influenced American poets throughout the generation with the unique style and rich
images. As one of the greatest poets in American literature, Emily Dickinson has
aroused great interest of study.
The major theory in this thesis is Jung and Frye’s Archetypal Criticism; the poet
expressed the major ideas of her poetry bining the archetypal images and the
system of images. Archetype is collective unconscious and it is the representation of
collective unconscious that inherited from human beings’ experience and emotions.
Archetypal event is a procedure pursuing archetype and itself is also archetype, and
Dickinson wrote poems involuntarily with her collective unconscious and spoke out
her desire of life and death, and her interpretation of life philosophy and her longing
for love.
This thesis is divided into four chapters, the first chapter deals with the life
