로런스의 『새들, 동물들 그리고 꽃들』에 나타난 피 의식과 성령

Abstract

Lawrence suggests that a new world is not a special place and time but an ultimate state of being to reach through the change of consciousness. Lawrence urges his readers to wake up and to regenerate the blood consciousness for the whole life to harmonize with the universe. Lawrence’s ultimate aim is the restoration of the whole man through the resurrection of blood-consciousness suppressed by nerve-brain consciousness. It is the apocalypse that Lawrence want to declare toward the corrupt and ruinous world. Lawrence induces his readers to find their unbalanced consciousness and discover their real inner selves which is the source of life, eventually to recover his vitality. A journey to the underworld is a journey to the heart of thing, a paradoxical process of corruption and separation into wholeness. When a flower opens, it becomes a doorway to the creative unknown itself, an opening to the nucleus of underworld that gives the speaker the knowledge to imagine death as culmination, a return to wholeness, a stage in the process animated by the creative unknown.
