초록

If Quetzalcoatl, the early version of the Plumed Serpent, examines a possibility of the Mexican myth and civilization as an alternative to the European civilization, the Plumed Serpent explores some other possibility of fusing the Mexican and European civilization through a Mestizo, Ramon Carrasco, and an Irish woman, Kate Leslie. Louis L. Martz, an editor of Quetzalcoatl published in 1995, argues that Quetzalcoatl shows the religion of Quetzalcoatl arising gradually from the landscape and native life while the Plumed Serpent creates abrupt shifts from native life and actual landscape into the mythical realm of the new religion. The point is that the Plumed Serpent reveals Lawrence’s desire of creating “a book of prophecy” which needs all the urgent rhetoric that prophecy commands to enforce its message. Martz’s reading of the Plumed Serpent helps to understand the unnatural narrative of the novel, which is quite clearly enforced by Lawrence's male leadership idea. Many critics have pointed out that the novel is heavily ideological and even totalitarian. This paper, however, focuses on what Lawrence tries to do in this novel even while giving up the narrative plausibility, and examine the conflict between the narrative and the leadership idea. Although critics tend to have negative impressions on the novel in terms of the excess of the idea, this paper rather will explore what Lawrence attempts to do to keep the narrative tension. To do so, the section II examines how Lawrence builds up his leadership idea, the section III focuses on the conflict between the narrative and the leadership idea, and the section IV explores the meaning of the limit resulted from Lawrence’s search for a new way of being which is necessarily processed in Western terms.

Abstract

If Quetzalcoatl, the early version of the Plumed Serpent, examines a possibility of the Mexican myth and civilization as an alternative to the European civilization, the Plumed Serpent explores some other possibility of fusing the Mexican and European civilization through a Mestizo, Ramon Carrasco, and an Irish woman, Kate Leslie. Louis L. Martz, an editor of Quetzalcoatl published in 1995, argues that Quetzalcoatl shows the religion of Quetzalcoatl arising gradually from the landscape and native life while the Plumed Serpent creates abrupt shifts from native life and actual landscape into the mythical realm of the new religion. The point is that the Plumed Serpent reveals Lawrence’s desire of creating “a book of prophecy” which needs all the urgent rhetoric that prophecy commands to enforce its message. Martz’s reading of the Plumed Serpent helps to understand the unnatural narrative of the novel, which is quite clearly enforced by Lawrence's male leadership idea. Many critics have pointed out that the novel is heavily ideological and even totalitarian. This paper, however, focuses on what Lawrence tries to do in this novel even while giving up the narrative plausibility, and examine the conflict between the narrative and the leadership idea. Although critics tend to have negative impressions on the novel in terms of the excess of the idea, this paper rather will explore what Lawrence attempts to do to keep the narrative tension. To do so, the section II examines how Lawrence builds up his leadership idea, the section III focuses on the conflict between the narrative and the leadership idea, and the section IV explores the meaning of the limit resulted from Lawrence’s search for a new way of being which is necessarily processed in Western terms.
