초록
With a theoretical assumption that Shakespeare and Jung attempt to search for the universality of the human nature, this paper aims to apply Jung's theory of archetypes to Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. The anima/ animus, which we can call here Adam/Eve inside ourselves is the most significant archetypes as a part of the process of individuation in this paper. The main action in Midsummer Night's Dream takes place within a context of the conflict between a father and a daughter. Psychologically the father represents the patriarchal principle and two pairs of young lovers are the embodiments of the undeveloped and uncontrolled ego(es). The father's angry curse drives his daughter into the regressive darkness of the forest. The oak tree represents the prototype of the self, a symbol of the source and goal of the individuation process. As the self archetype it constitutes the gateway into the unconscious. The oak tree leads them to the darkness of the forest which is a form of introversion, a regression of the libido, into a mother's womb. As an instrument of the unconsciousness, Puck makes the young lovers accept and integrate their own Adam/Eve, anima/animus through their own emotional chaos caused by using the love-in-idleness in the forest. When they leave the wood at sunrise, the two pairs of lovers achieve a level of completeness which symbolically joins the two halves of their unconsciousness, their anima/animus, into one. The process of individuation is completed in the course of the festive conclusion, the wedding feast.
Abstract
With a theoretical assumption that Shakespeare and Jung attempt to search for the universality of the human nature, this paper aims to apply Jung's theory of archetypes to Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. The anima/ animus, which we can call here Adam/Eve inside ourselves is the most significant archetypes as a part of the process of individuation in this paper. The main action in Midsummer Night's Dream takes place within a context of the conflict between a father and a daughter. Psychologically the father represents the patriarchal principle and two pairs of young lovers are the embodiments of the undeveloped and uncontrolled ego(es). The father's angry curse drives his daughter into the regressive darkness of the forest. The oak tree represents the prototype of the self, a symbol of the source and goal of the individuation process. As the self archetype it constitutes the gateway into the unconscious. The oak tree leads them to the darkness of the forest which is a form of introversion, a regression of the libido, into a mother's womb. As an instrument of the unconsciousness, Puck makes the young lovers accept and integrate their own Adam/Eve, anima/animus through their own emotional chaos caused by using the love-in-idleness in the forest. When they leave the wood at sunrise, the two pairs of lovers achieve a level of completeness which symbolically joins the two halves of their unconsciousness, their anima/animus, into one. The process of individuation is completed in the course of the festive conclusion, the wedding feast.
