초록

This study examines psychologically the restored relationship between a father and a daughter in Shakespeare’s Cymbeline. The psychological analysis of Cymbeline based on not only a daughter’s femininity but also other characters’ consciousness in this play leads to a new understanding of father-daughter relationship. Shakespeare emphasizes the daughter’s divine ability of restoring the demolished paternity in a patriarchal society. Cymbeline’s inner logos which used to be the reflection of fatherhood is lost and destroyed by the queen due to his lack of insight and foolishness. The fact that Cymbeline lost his two sons two decades ago induces continually his inner, recurrent repressions. Also, Cymbeline’s objection to Imogen’s marriage leads to compel the separation between them. Nevertheless, Imogen grown up under such a submissive social system rejects Cymbeline who used to be her archetype of domination, which ironically enables her to have the elevated consciousness and reach the process of individuation. Eventually through the process of individuation, Imogen realizes her eros and logos, in other words, in terms of reconfirmation as both her inner sanctuary and self-recognition. Ultimately her sublimated consciousness makes Cymbeline’s lost sons return home and has Cymbeline attain the awareness of the true selfhood in manifold ways.

Abstract

This study examines psychologically the restored relationship between a father and a daughter in Shakespeare’s Cymbeline. The psychological analysis of Cymbeline based on not only a daughter’s femininity but also other characters’ consciousness in this play leads to a new understanding of father-daughter relationship. Shakespeare emphasizes the daughter’s divine ability of restoring the demolished paternity in a patriarchal society. Cymbeline’s inner logos which used to be the reflection of fatherhood is lost and destroyed by the queen due to his lack of insight and foolishness. The fact that Cymbeline lost his two sons two decades ago induces continually his inner, recurrent repressions. Also, Cymbeline’s objection to Imogen’s marriage leads to compel the separation between them. Nevertheless, Imogen grown up under such a submissive social system rejects Cymbeline who used to be her archetype of domination, which ironically enables her to have the elevated consciousness and reach the process of individuation. Eventually through the process of individuation, Imogen realizes her eros and logos, in other words, in terms of reconfirmation as both her inner sanctuary and self-recognition. Ultimately her sublimated consciousness makes Cymbeline’s lost sons return home and has Cymbeline attain the awareness of the true selfhood in manifold ways.
