英国浪漫主义诗歌经典导读

章节摘录

版权页：   插图：   In order to explore and express the horror of the event fully in this analysis of"The Mask of Anarchy" it is worth noting that Shelley makes use of frighteninglygrotesque imagery and language, a device common in Romantic poetry to conveyhis feelings and address the grotesque nature of the massacre and relies on contrastsbetween serene versus grotesque images and language to keep the reader horrified.In addition, the very structure of "The Mask of Anarchy" and the choice of certainblunt but effective words creates and maintains the theme of grotesqueness. Shelleyuses the grotesque in this poem to parallel his depth of anger and feeling about theevents at Peterloo. In this poem, there is no reprieve for the reader as the parade ofgrim images marches by. The effect of these grotesque images created by Shelley'suse of language leaves the reader feeling unsettled, uncomfortable, and disturbedboth by the event being detailed as well as by the poem itself. Even from the beginning of the poem "The Mask of Anarchy" by PercyShelley, the use of the grotesque serves an inaportant function in terms of thereader's perception and understanding of the massacre and its meaning. Thecontrast between the calm versus grotesque that occurs between the first and secondstanzas is important because the reader and the narrator are jerked into a horrifyingawareness of the grim situation. The effect of beginning of this poem with a sereneand peaceful introduction that invokes soothing images of sleep, the sea, and visions,only to launch into one disturbing set of grotesque images after another is itselfdisconcerting and in some ways grotesque as a narrative device and emphasizes thevery meaning of the poem by the end. By presenting the former condition of his psyche prior to his knowledge of theevents at Peterloo (at rest in Italy near a sea that speaks to him) the narrator presentsthe stark contrast between restful sleep and serenity and bloody tragic events.From his state of tranquility near the ocean in Italy, the reader and narrator are ina dreamlike state, oblivious to the harsh realities. When these realities arrive, theycrush the deceptive lull the reader experiences in the first stanza as our first imageafter that is the visage of Murder followed by a pack of marauding hounds.
