This paper is intended to examine the characteristics of the ritual in The Plumed Serpent and short fiction ‘The Woman Who Rode Away’ by D.H.Lawrence. They are based on mythical materials like Mexican ancient mythic tales and legends. Lawrence is amazingly interested in those Mexican ethnic old tales and myths. Those fictions deal with the ritual of old human sacrifice. The former long-length novel describes a human blood sacrifice ritual for the Catholic priests and rebels in coincidence with Mexican Indian ancient rites and ceremonies which are really mysterious and horrible. Terribly enough, in the latter fiction a white heroine woman rides on her horse to take a journey to the village of Indians who reside in the deep mountains, and is sacrificed as a blood scapegoat to the Dark Sun, Indian God in her half-volunteering mind and will. The writer’s descriptions about the human sacrificial rituals are so detailed and elaborate. However when the white European people sacrificed in both stories, the rituals are defined to be holy and sacred, not sinful and guilty. Those human sacrifices tributed to the Indian powerful, vital Sun Gods who are thought to be life creators and providers. Those Gods are considered to be the sources of great life and vitality for all the creatures. So Lawrence’s old human blood sacrifices are treated as a profound touch about a life law or principle of old tribes which is wide spread and universal. Those human sacrificed persons in the ritual are believed to be recreated, born again later by Gods as a life creator and giver. Therefore the human blood sacrifices are recognized to be holy and merciful to the sacrificers and sacrifices themselves as well. This can be a paradoxical truth of human beings’ life and soul. This means that death is life. Lawrence thinks that modern western Europeans are dehumanized, lifeless, corrupt, and ill morally, spiritually. Those civilized modern people are not possible to connect and communicate with the universe, otherwise the natural objects in the outside world. So they are impossible to be vital, powerful in their daily lives. According to Lawrence those kinds of modern civilized people must be sacrificed and recreated through the cosmic connection and communication, which contains mysterious, vital interaction to be seen in the ancient rites and rituals in the old Mexican Indians who are deeply, wonderfully religious.
Abstract
This paper is intended to examine the characteristics of the ritual in The Plumed Serpent and short fiction ‘The Woman Who Rode Away’ by D.H.Lawrence. They are based on mythical materials like Mexican ancient mythic tales and legends. Lawrence is amazingly interested in those Mexican ethnic old tales and myths. Those fictions deal with the ritual of old human sacrifice. The former long-length novel describes a human blood sacrifice ritual for the Catholic priests and rebels in coincidence with Mexican Indian ancient rites and ceremonies which are really mysterious and horrible. Terribly enough, in the latter fiction a white heroine woman rides on her horse to take a journey to the village of Indians who reside in the deep mountains, and is sacrificed as a blood scapegoat to the Dark Sun, Indian God in her half-volunteering mind and will. The writer’s descriptions about the human sacrificial rituals are so detailed and elaborate. However when the white European people sacrificed in both stories, the rituals are defined to be holy and sacred, not sinful and guilty. Those human sacrifices tributed to the Indian powerful, vital Sun Gods who are thought to be life creators and providers. Those Gods are considered to be the sources of great life and vitality for all the creatures. So Lawrence’s old human blood sacrifices are treated as a profound touch about a life law or principle of old tribes which is wide spread and universal. Those human sacrificed persons in the ritual are believed to be recreated, born again later by Gods as a life creator and giver. Therefore the human blood sacrifices are recognized to be holy and merciful to the sacrificers and sacrifices themselves as well. This can be a paradoxical truth of human beings’ life and soul. This means that death is life. Lawrence thinks that modern western Europeans are dehumanized, lifeless, corrupt, and ill morally, spiritually. Those civilized modern people are not possible to connect and communicate with the universe, otherwise the natural objects in the outside world. So they are impossible to be vital, powerful in their daily lives. According to Lawrence those kinds of modern civilized people must be sacrificed and recreated through the cosmic connection and communication, which contains mysterious, vital interaction to be seen in the ancient rites and rituals in the old Mexican Indians who are deeply, wonderfully religious.
