弗洛伊德认为,作家的创作是一种特殊的幻想活动,好比“白日梦”。美国作家“迷惘的一代”的代言人菲茨杰拉德在《夜色温柔》的创作过程中就在很大程度上受到弗洛伊德主义思想的影响。本论文应用弗洛伊德的文学创作理论,阐述了作者创作动机与作品主题的关系,从全新的角度分析了作者的创作意图和主人公梦幻破灭的必然。 Freud believes that the author’s creation is a special kind of fantasy activity, such as “daydream ”. Fitzgerald, the American writer ’s spokesman for the “lost generation ”, was influenced largely by Freudian ideology during the creation of “Gentle Night”. This thesis uses Freud’s theory of literary creation, elaborates the author’s motivation of creation and the theme of the work, and analyzes the writer’s intention of creation and the inevitability of the hero’s dreams from a brand-new perspective.
