초록
The poem entitled “Alastor” may be considered as allegorical of one of the most interesting situations of the human mind as Shelley wrote in the preface of the poem. The poem is allegorical because it is engaged in an attempt to find verbal equivalents for inner states. Shelley shows two points of view that the empirical Narrator and the idealistic Poet have, but they are mixed into each other rather than each of them is in the opposite side. The Narrator and the Poet represent Shelley’s two selves. Each figure seems to project inner self of the previous figure, both desired and resisted. This kind of aspect can be also found in the relationship between the Narrator and ‘Mother of this unfathomable world’, the Poet and a veiled maid in his dream. The relationship they have reveals the ambivalence in this poem and Shelley’s self-exploration. Shelley realizes and acknowledges the ambivalence in life through the relationship. The aim of this paper is to trace the course of realizing the ambivalence of life in “Alastor; or, The Spirit of Solitude.”
Abstract
The poem entitled “Alastor” may be considered as allegorical of one of the most interesting situations of the human mind as Shelley wrote in the preface of the poem. The poem is allegorical because it is engaged in an attempt to find verbal equivalents for inner states. Shelley shows two points of view that the empirical Narrator and the idealistic Poet have, but they are mixed into each other rather than each of them is in the opposite side. The Narrator and the Poet represent Shelley’s two selves. Each figure seems to project inner self of the previous figure, both desired and resisted. This kind of aspect can be also found in the relationship between the Narrator and ‘Mother of this unfathomable world’, the Poet and a veiled maid in his dream. The relationship they have reveals the ambivalence in this poem and Shelley’s self-exploration. Shelley realizes and acknowledges the ambivalence in life through the relationship. The aim of this paper is to trace the course of realizing the ambivalence of life in “Alastor; or, The Spirit of Solitude.”
