초록
The study begins by examining the motif of the paradise lost and Eve’s temptation in Tim Burton’s two films, Corpse Bride and Alice in Wonderland. Then, it focuses how the widely known motif is twisted in his two films, and the ideological effect of the motif diminishes. In particular, this paper analyzes how the traditionally cultivated female images, “veiled virgin” and “sinister mother,” in the Christian western society disappear and change in both films. The two stereotyped female images had been produced and reproduced within the Christian institution that had used Augustine and Paul’s comments on the myth of Eden for maintaining its social domination. The sin of Eve in Eden represents all women and enforces them to accept the role of a “veiled virgin” and a “sinister mother.” Corpse Bride at first appears as the copy of Eve and a veiled virgin desiring to be a mother, but she escapes from the two images by not repeating Eve’s tempting speech. Corpse Bride eventually acquires the image of a “redeemer” discarding that of a “sinner” of Eden. Likewise, in Wonderland/Underland of the paradise lost, Alice discards both images of a “veiled virgin” and a “sinister mother” in confronting the Satanic character, Jabberwocky. By slaying Jabberwocky’s tongue before he speaks more, Alice symbolically repels the Satanic “verbal seduction” by which Eve is tempted.
Abstract
The study begins by examining the motif of the paradise lost and Eve’s temptation in Tim Burton’s two films, Corpse Bride and Alice in Wonderland. Then, it focuses how the widely known motif is twisted in his two films, and the ideological effect of the motif diminishes. In particular, this paper analyzes how the traditionally cultivated female images, “veiled virgin” and “sinister mother,” in the Christian western society disappear and change in both films. The two stereotyped female images had been produced and reproduced within the Christian institution that had used Augustine and Paul’s comments on the myth of Eden for maintaining its social domination. The sin of Eve in Eden represents all women and enforces them to accept the role of a “veiled virgin” and a “sinister mother.” Corpse Bride at first appears as the copy of Eve and a veiled virgin desiring to be a mother, but she escapes from the two images by not repeating Eve’s tempting speech. Corpse Bride eventually acquires the image of a “redeemer” discarding that of a “sinner” of Eden. Likewise, in Wonderland/Underland of the paradise lost, Alice discards both images of a “veiled virgin” and a “sinister mother” in confronting the Satanic character, Jabberwocky. By slaying Jabberwocky’s tongue before he speaks more, Alice symbolically repels the Satanic “verbal seduction” by which Eve is tempted.
