Abstract

Desire under the Elms is a great tragedy by Eugene Glastone O’Neill. Based on the theory of Freud’s psychic analysis, this paper intends to analyze the causes of Eben’s Oedipus Complex and the relationship between Eben and Abbie under its influence. It reveals tragic results brought about by the Oedipus Complex. In the end, Eben and Abbie abandon everything including the tempting farm and their son, which to some extent is a great victory of their love. It also points out that Eben’s Oedipus Complex is the root of his own tragedy.

Key Words: Eugene Glastone O’Neill; Desire under the Elms; Oedipus Complex

摘 要

    《榆树下的欲望》是尤金·格拉斯通·奥尼尔笔下一部伟大的悲剧。以弗洛伊德的精神分析理论为基础，为了爱情，他们可以舍弃一切，包括他们一直想要的农场和他们的孩子，从某种意义上来说，是他们爱情的伟大的胜利。本文旨在通过对伊本身上俄狄浦斯情节产生的原因以及在其影响之下伊本和爱碧之间的关系的分析，深刻揭示俄狄浦斯情节引起的悲惨结局并指出伊本的俄狄浦斯情节是其自身悲剧产生的根源。
