- 論文の詳細を見る
The characters depicted by William Golding are more or less trapped by extreme "illusions, delusions, confusions" from which they have considerable difficulty extricating themselves. In such predicaments, they lose their identity and become absorbed with infantile fantasies. This regressive situation confines them to a world of mimesis, violence and nondifferentiation-a world devoid of beauty, individuality, or difference. In order to regain the world of beauty, individuality, or difference, they often turn to victimization, a strategy that only makes things worse. In this essay on Darkness Visible, I will discuss the various characters hurled into such a world, with special reference to Matthew Windrove, the Stanhope twins, Sim Goodchild, and Sebastian Pedigree, and attempt to show how their predicaments can be attributed to an inadequacy of the symbolic function installed in their mind.
