德国浪漫主义文学中的疯狂

疯狂是德国浪漫主义文学的一个主题。文学中诗意的疯狂不同于现实中的疯狂，只是作家为刻画人物、评论、或赞美正常的精神世界所作的处理，在自然神秘主义的支持下，德国浪漫主义时期出现了许多表现疯狂的作品，其中疯狂常常与爱情和欲望有关，是易受欲望作用的人们对自然呼唤所做出的回应。本文以霍夫曼、蒂克为例，阐明其所反映的这样一个观点：作为精神和心灵上的人类，有渴望通过卓越的精神与神性达到结合而强烈背离肉体的欲望。生殖的强烈欲望是我们必死命运的象征，对卓越的渴望是对有一天我们必然死亡这一想法的抵抗。

Madness In German Romanticism Literature

Insanity is a theme in German romanticism literature. The madness in the literature is just one more means authors use for portraying,commenting on,or celebrating life in the real world. The reason for this is the nature mysticism that underlies German literature of this period and German romantic stories with plots are almost tales of love and desire,and also madness which often results from encountering with mysterious supernatural forces. Symptoms of insanity occur in the characters as a response to nature's claim on thematic subject to desire. The thesis illustrates the view mainly through Tieck and Hoffmann that the reaction to desire's call is a flight into fantasy,because these portrayals reflect a view of mankind as spiritually and mentally constituted to yearn for union with the divine through spiritual transcendence,as opposed to physical desire.
