从精神分析学理论解读《赎罪》中布里奥妮的心理变化过程

Interpretation of Psychoanalytic Theory of Briony’s Psychological Change in Atonement

摘要: 《赎罪》是英国作家伊恩•麦克尤恩的经典代表作，讲述了女主人公布里奥妮因年少时沉迷于幻想和写作对姐姐的情人罗比做出了错误的指控，致使其蒙冤入狱，而后死于战场，从而造成一双有情人不能眷属的悲剧故事。本文以弗洛伊德精神分析学中的无意识理论和人格结构理论为关照，解读布里奥妮从青少年时期到成年之后这一成长过程中，是如何从犯罪到赎罪，从遵循本我、找到自我、突破自我到最终寻求超我的救赎的心理变化过程，以期为促进青少年的健康人格发展提供经验借鉴和现实启示。

Abstract: Atonement, a classic masterpiece by British author Ian McEwan, tells the story of Briony, the hero-ine, who, because of her youthful indulgence in fantasy and writing, makes a false accusation against her sister’s lover, Robbie, which leads to his unjustified imprisonment and death on the battlefield, resulting in the tragic tale of a pair of lovers not being able to be united. Through Freudian psycho-analytic theories of the unconscious and personality structure, this paper explains how Briony’s psychological changes from crime to atonement, from following the id, then finding the ego, then breaking through the ego and finally seeking the redemption of the superego during her growth from adolescence to adulthood, with a view to providing empirical and practical inspiration into the promotion of healthy personality development in adolescents.
