10、 in Absalom, Absalom!1.IntroductionWilliam Faulkner is a famous American writer, who was also the winner of the Nobel prize for literature in the year . Absalom, Absalom! is his ninth novel which is also his most important, the most complex, the most profound, the most epic style of a work. It is ab
11、out a family of the southern United States from 1860 to 1910 about experiencing intense falling apart and vividly shows all kinds of conflicts between people and their inner, involving many common problems related to the human condition. The novel narrative style is unique, the characters in the boo
12、k from different angles, with different subjective feelings explain the past, but it reflects the tragic style of the whole work. Rosa Coldfield is a pivotal figure in the novel, its special features: four narrators only she and the hero Sutpen had directly contacted and witnessed the story. She is
13、the sister-in-law of Sutpen, also is he didnt perform engagement fiance . Rosa has a close connection with the Sutpen family, and involved in the Sutpen family history, so Rosa tells the nature of experience. But she lost her mother in childhood, living in a lack of care of the family, is full of gr
14、eat anger with men, never married, was deprived of the normal needs as a woman. Rosa spent all her life pursuing the various roles of women in her time, but all failed. Therefore, her narrative is not very true and reliable. The reason is closely related to her childhood trauma. In this paper, based
15、 on Freuds theory of personality structure and the theory of trauma, the image of Rosa in Absalom, Absalom!1.1 William FaulknerWilliam Faulkner is one of the most influential American novelists of the twentieth Century in the writing of stream of consciousness. He won the Nobel prize for literature
16、in 1949, because he has made a powerful and artistic contribution to contemporary American novels. Readers need to feel its unique aesthetic taste with his style of literary works in different poses and with different expressions, whirling. Camus highly praises Faulkners works , once said: For the y
17、oung French people, Faulkner is like a god. The creation of Marquez, Mo Yan and others have the shadow of Faulkner.He wrote 19 novels and more than 120 short stories in his life. Most of the stories have occurred in Yoknapatawpha County, the story of the main thread is stressing several generations,
18、 some families belongs to the different social strata of Jefferson town and its suburbs .1.2 Absalom, Absalom!Absalom, Absalom! The title of the book comes from the allusions of Bible, the story describes the love and hate between the father and his sons, the ambiguous feelings between brothers and
19、sisters, with the story of the Bible color. The main character, Thomas Sutpen, a poor whites, with various predatory methods built plantations in Sutpens Hundred Jefferson Town, and his wife Alan gave birth to a son ,Henry, and a daughter, Judith. Before this, Sutpen had married a black woman and ha
20、d a son, Charles. Judith and her half- brother fell in love; in order to prevent the occurrence of incest, Henry killed Charles by his own hand. After some difficult years in the civil war, as the clue figure ,the Cold Field Rosa, young generation Quentin Compson and his classmate Shrevlin ,in the f
21、orm of a dialogue, gradually deduced the Sutpen family s thriving to the downfall of the how and whys.A book views Thomas Sutpen as the center, describes the fates of the three families in Jefferson town, thus reflecting the withered ups and downs of Southern whites life in the past hundred years be
22、fore and after the civil war. Compared to many writers works in this time, and the works of Faulkner, Absalom, Absalom! deeply touched and discussed the painful issues of Southern history and the guilt of innocent.1.3 Rosa and Absalom, Absalom!Absalom, Absalom! this work is not so much a novel as a
23、legend of Sutpen, rather than a review of Rosa tragic fate and an indictment of the patriarchal society. Miss Rosa witnessed Stupen and his dragons teeth reproduction (Faulkner, Class Conferences at the University of Virginia 34-35) family from prosperity to decline, she witnessed the tragic history
24、 of the south. As one of the narrators, in her dictation, the past is often intertwined with the reality, there is the greatest intensity of trauma. In the novel, Mr. Compson on behalf of the southern patriarchal society, in his eyes, Rosa is only a shadow figure without any identity, not essential
25、as like ghost, disgusting. Southern lady Miss Rosa is such a representative female characters, she is weird, and her words and deeds turn upside down, sometimes she is an old weak maid, sometimes like a strong man, is a multi- contradiction. As Brooks said, only Rosa will go to hell. (Leech GN. 135)
26、. Although Rosa is sensitive, lonely, hysterical, but with many of the tragic fates of the southern women in Faulkners novels, she is a victim of the patriarchal society and family environment of the South . It is the most tragic and sympathetic figure in the novel(Halliday MAK. 103).In the novel ,
27、Rosas encounter can be described as a model of female whose self-consciousness was suppressed and was ignored in society. Based on the theoretical analysis of trauma, this paper analyzes the changes in the psychological and behavior of Rosas childhood, youth and twilight years, and explores Rosas tr
28、agic images from the aspects of family affection, love and imaginary marriage.2. The Different Tragic Images of RosaRosa lives in the southern United States. As a southern woman, her fate is doomed with a strong tragic color. In her childhood, there is no familys care and warmth. She is a helpless l
29、oner. When young, Rosa madly seeks for love. She looks herself as a substitute and enjoys others affection. She longs for marriage, but cant stand Sutpens rudeness. At the end, she is a loser in her whole life.2.1 A Loner in FamilyRosa is always lonely in her life. She never receives parental care,
30、family care, never has the experience of her fathers love, the warmth of the family. But she is eager to have these roles such as a daughter, wife, mother, and so on, to prove herself as a human. She is sensitive, lonely, hysterical, all her life is looking for some roles of women in those years, bu
31、t end in failure. Rosa has an unhappy family. since her birth, and the affection that Rosa had been longing for but never had. Not only she does not get family love, warmth, compassion and care in her childhood, and when she was a little girl, her family instill hatred for all the men, this hatred s
32、eriously hurt her heart.2.1.1 The Lack of Family AffectionRosa has an unhappy childhood. She came just “in time when granted that Miss Rosa merely mirrored her parents attitude toward the son-in-low - the family wanted only peace and quiet, and probably did not expect and maybe did not even want ano
33、ther child” (Faulkner 79).The middle-aged mother was pregnant again, then died in childbirth bed, so Rosa came this world with the lack of her mothers care. Because of her birth caused the death of the mother, Rosa had a deep sense of guilt and guilt. Her family also regarded her birth as the price
34、of her mothers life. Mothers death left serious psychological trauma to Rosa, so that she could not forget for a long time. She doesnt know “what love is, even the love of their parents. For the first 16 years, she lived with her father and aunt. Her childhood was spent “in Puritan eerie mourning ha
35、ll” (Faulkner 81).In her Childhood , Rosa does not receive the warmth of the family. Compared with others, she doesnt own happiness and playmates. Rosas father is eccentric, he is a be scanty of words, a devout Puritan, is most concerned about his own integrity and reputation, so he did not care abo
36、ut Rosas life and never showed love to his little daughter. But Rosa was concerned about her father, her father locked himself in the attic, she looked after her father for three years, even if sometimes there are a little food, she still took a large portion to her father. Rosa is more like a maid
37、rather than a daughter, but does not get a bit of love and thanks to father. It seemed to Rosa, her father never be willing or able to change everything, never be able to do something to protect her.Rosas aunt is “that strong vindictive consistent woman who seems to have been twice the man that Mr.
38、Cold Field was and who in very truth was not only Miss Rosas mother, but her father too”(Faulkner 85). For 35 years she is still unable to get married , aunt formed a comprehensive and even the extension of the complaint that accused “all the male supremacy in the world”(Gwin M. 42). “And the aunt w
39、ho even ten years later was still taking revenge for the Ellens wedding by striking at the town, the human race”(Faulkner 80). Aunt just infused her anger of Jefferson town and male into little Rosa, did not really understand the niece. In the growth of Rosa, She secretly listened to the Sutpens con
40、versation and told aunt, just as aunts ear. Aunt disappeared, like inheriting aunts clothes, Rosa inherited her hatred of men. After aunt had the elopement with a mule dealer, young Rosa had to start managing the household, and began to take care of herself, Rosa reformed aunts big clothes into some
41、 her own wear. She is not allowed to walk out of the house because his father is withdrawn and stubborn, and she always spend most of her time at home.Rosa does not not keep in touch with her sister and has a good relationship with Ellen. Ellens life is meaningless. In addition to mock Rosa to ask h
42、er for help, nothing can do. Seven years before Rosas birth, Ellens life has been caught in a dilemma, only focus on herself, didnt need a sister. Ellen, “the adult who had escaped reality into a band region peopled by dolls”(Faulkner 95), was never really existed for Rosa, her aunt taught Rosa that
43、 sister is a woman who had disappeared in the family, so did in life. After refusing to accept her aunts view of her marriage, Alan went into hiding in a pure fantasy world. She created the illusion of happiness , the Duchess always sends medicine soup to the toilsome farmers in the ridge who is say
44、ing all meaningless nonsense that some hackneyed and stereotyped expressions are designed by herself ,talking fluently and endlessly (Guo 108). But the illusion was soon dashed. Rosa and Alans only connection is to take care of her children when her sister is dying. After Ellens death, Rosa moved to
45、 her sisters house, with her sisters wishes.The only quiet moment in her life is when she heard that Bon had been killed by Judiths brother, Herry, hurried to thyme and comfort Judith, she arrived Sutpen Hundred. At the same time, Rosa felt a little warmer from her family. When she talked with Quent
46、in, she said: “ now you will ask me why I wanted to stay there, as if a 19-year-old girl wanted to meet her family after the war”(Faulkner 216). Then told Quentin that she left not because of need of food, refuge or for the company of others, she explained that the reason to stay is to wait for the
47、Sutpen to go home. It is her second voluntary to submit to the needs of others, just as she is under a guilty that mother died in childbirth, as she is faithfully to listen to something that evil-mind aunt poured; just as she struggles to take care of the self-blockade retiring father; as soon as sh
48、e heard the news that the state was killed, she immediately discharged her duty to comfort Judith. What she wants is just the dependence of relatives, even without their care.2.1.2 Childhoods TraumaRosa lives in such a family, in which no one told her how to love others, how to get along with the pe
49、ople around, no one cares about her needs and desires, even her ideas and opinions are not heard. She is an ordinary, weak girl, lives in other peoples indifference and less attention .The lack of family affection makes Rosa only with the illusion to experience what she should have. Freud believes that traumatic events in childhood have a significant impact on the future life of the individual, and childhood traum
