How Mary Shelley depicts Nature in Relation with Human Beings
Nature plays a very important role in Frankenstein. The author has shown how Victor Frankenstein is able to connect with nature and feel at ease. The theme of the essay will be how Shelly uses nature to create a strong image . Of Frankenstein and his relationship and dependence with nature. Not only is nature used to make the character seem . More humane but it builds an image that nature has healing properties and thus,
Helps even the most damaged of souls find solace in it. I am going to prove how Shelly establishes this relationship and the elements she uses to build that connection.
The theme that we will be discussing is the connection she shows between nature and human being , And how she depicts it . When Victor Frankenstein was overcome with grief after the murder of his loved ones , He preferred to remain in solitude and during those times , When he was far from humanity , Alone and forlorn , It was nature that made him feel at peace and helped him relax while strengthening his will.
In this sense , Nature can be seen as a healing force for Frankenstein and that is how Shelly depicts nature in her novel.
译文:玛丽雪莱如何描绘自然与人类的关系
大自然在弗兰肯斯坦中扮演着非常重要的角色。作者展示了维克多弗兰肯斯坦如何能够与自然联系并感到自在。这篇文章的主题将是雪莉如何利用自然来创造一个强大的形象。弗兰肯斯坦和他与自然的关系和依赖。自然不仅是用来使角色看起来的。更人性化,但它建立了一种自然具有治愈特性的形象,因此,
即使是最受伤害的灵魂也能从中找到慰藉。我将证明雪莉如何建立这种关系以及她用来建立这种联系的元素。
我们将要讨论的主题是她展示的自然与人类之间的联系,以及她如何描绘它。当维克多·弗兰肯斯坦因亲人被杀而悲痛欲绝时,他更喜欢独处,在那些远离人性、孤独和孤独的时候,大自然让他感到平静并帮助他放松。同时加强他的意志。
从这个意义上说,自然可以被视为弗兰肯斯坦的治愈力量,这就是雪莉在她的小说中描绘自然的方式。
From the very beginning of the novel,
Nature is used as a metaphor to describe the childhood of Victor Frankenstein. “I feel pleasure in dwelling on the recollections of childhood , Before misfortune had tainted my mind , And changed its bright visions of extensive usefulness into gloomy and narrow reflections upon self . . . I find it arise, like a mountain river, from ignoble and almost forgotten sources;
But swelling as it proceeded , It became the torrent which, in its course , Has swept away all my hopes and joys,” (Shelley, Frankenstein, 21).
As can be seen from the aforementioned text that Shelly uses mountain as . A metaphor to portray Victor’s feelings and this is the beginning of the theme of nature which will be followed throughout the book . Her way of expressing Frankenstein’s feelings is more garnered towards natural setting and metaphors instead . Of using intellectual explanation of how he truly feels.
The use of “like a mountain river” shows that she is more prone towards . A romantic explanation of a person’s feelings by using nature as an analogy with which the readers can relate to.
译文:从小说一开始 自然与人类的关系
自然被用作比喻来描述维克多弗兰肯斯坦的童年。 “我很高兴回味童年的回忆,在不幸尚未染上我的心灵之前,将其广泛有用的光明愿景变成了对自我的阴暗和狭隘的反思。 . .我发现它像一条山河一样,来自卑微且几乎被遗忘的源头;
但是随着它的进行而膨胀,它变成了洪流,在它的过程中,已经席卷了我所有的希望和喜悦,”(雪莱,弗兰肯斯坦,21)。
从上述文本中可以看出,雪莉使用山作为 .描绘维克多感受的隐喻,这是贯穿全书的自然主题的开始。她表达弗兰肯斯坦感情的方式更多地倾向于自然环境和隐喻。使用理智解释他的真实感受。
使用“像山河”表明她更倾向于。通过使用自然作为读者可以与之相关的类比来对一个人的感受进行浪漫的解释。
As the book progresses
Frankenstein can be seen taking solace in nature and using it as his very own therapy tool. Many studies have been conducted in which nature is said to not only relax the mind and body,
But also makes the person feel at ease . Whenever Frankenstein is under a lot of stress and has faced events that have made him miserable , Then he always seeks the company of nature.
A strong connection between nature and Frankenstein is revealed by the fifth chapter of the first volume. He is able to recover from grave illness by being connected with nature and while he received support by his friends and is taken care of by them , The one things that truly helps him heal is breathing fresh air.
译文:随着本书的进展 自然与人类的关系
可以看到弗兰肯斯坦在大自然中寻求安慰并将其用作他自己的治疗工具。 许多研究表明,大自然不仅可以放松身心,
而且也让人心安。 每当弗兰肯斯坦承受很大压力并面临让他痛苦的事件时,他总是寻求自然的陪伴。
第一卷的第五章揭示了自然与弗兰肯斯坦之间的密切联系。 通过与大自然的联系,他能够从严重的疾病中康复,虽然他得到了朋友的支持和照顾,但真正帮助他康复的一件事是呼吸新鲜空气。
The evidence of this can be obtained from the following statement
“We passed a fortnight in these perambulations: my health and spirits had long been restored , And they gained additional strength from the salubrious air I breathed,” (Frankenstein, 45). The statement shows that he not only finds solace in nature but is also able . To regain additional strength from it.
“to bring health” signifies that the author wants to stress upon the importance of fresh air and how beneficial it is for the body , And at the same time create a strong connection between health and nature . The fresh air, trees , And Frankenstein’s interaction with nature shows that nature holds many properties that restores the body and soul and makes them whole.
Throughout the book, it is nature that helps Frankenstein keep his sanity and continue living a healthy life. During those times, using nature as a tool for therapy was not uncommon , Instead it was something that was commonly referred to by many of the authors of that time , Including Wordsworth , Coleridge , And Percy.
译文:这可以从以下陈述中获得证据 自然与人类的关系
“我们在这些巡视中度过了两周时间:我的健康和精神早就恢复了,他们从我呼吸的有益空气中获得了额外的力量,”(弗兰肯斯坦,45 岁)。这句话表明,他不仅在大自然中找到了慰藉,而且还能够。从中恢复额外的力量。
“带来健康”意味着作者想强调新鲜空气的重要性及其对身体的益处,同时在健康与自然之间建立紧密的联系。清新的空气、树木和弗兰肯斯坦与大自然的互动表明,大自然拥有许多属性,可以恢复身体和灵魂并使它们完整。
在整本书中,大自然帮助弗兰肯斯坦保持理智并继续过上健康的生活。在那个时代,使用自然作为治疗工具的情况并不少见,相反,这是当时许多作者(包括华兹华斯、柯勒律治和珀西)普遍提到的东西。
Shelly takes inspiration from those writers and takes into account the immense importance of nature.
While the manner in which other authors make use of nature is entirely different , Shelly shows nature as being a personal therapist for Frankenstein and a healing body which allows him to not only improve his health but also to get his bearings right.
It is important to consider why the use of nature . As a restorative tool because it gives an immensely significant message to the readers.
The message that is received is that interaction with nature . Is extremely important because it allows the soul and body to heal and gives a person inner calm . Whether Shelly was influenced by an event in her life or an external reading , The significance of nature she shows in her novel and the connection she makes between nature and Frankenstein is remarkable in how simply it has been portrayed,
译文:雪莉从这些作家那里汲取灵感,并考虑到自然的巨大重要性。 自然与人类的关系
虽然其他作者利用自然的方式完全不同,但雪莉将自然展示为弗兰肯斯坦的私人治疗师和治愈身体,不仅可以改善他的健康状况,还可以让他的方向正确。
重要的是要考虑为什么使用自然。 作为一种恢复性工具,因为它向读者传达了非常重要的信息。
收到的信息是与自然的互动。 非常重要,因为它可以让灵魂和身体得到治愈,并让人内心平静。 无论雪莉是受到她生活中的事件还是外部阅读的影响,她在小说中展示的自然的重要性以及她在自然与弗兰肯斯坦之间建立的联系,在描绘的简单程度方面都是非凡的,
And yet at the same time it is also intriguing.
The clear depiction of how much Frankenstein relies on nature is revealed by William and Justine , The brother and the family’s servant . The deaths of these two inflict a deep wound on Frankenstein and he is engulfed by despair. The only thing that comes to his aid during this time of sorrow is nature and he is able . To find comfort is the natural environment,
Even when his friend Henry cannot help him feel better. Stricken with grief, Frankenstein turns to nature and it is that which heals him and makes him sane again. Evidence of this can be gained by the following statement , “I remained two days at Lausanne , In this painful state of mind. I contemplated the lake: the waters were placid; all around was calm, and the snowy mountains,
"The palaces of nature," were not changed. By degrees the calm and heavenly scene restored me, and I continued my journey towards Geneva,” (Shelly, Frankenstein). Throughout the book , A dependence is created between Frankenstein and nature and he is able to feel better every time he interacts with it. The reference to the snowy mountains as “Palaces of Nature”, shows how Frankenstein views the scenic beauty surrounding him.
译文:但与此同时,它也很有趣。
威廉和贾斯汀,兄弟和家族的仆人,清楚地描述了弗兰肯斯坦对自然的依赖程度。这两个人的死亡给弗兰肯斯坦带来了深深的创伤,他被绝望所吞没。在这个悲伤的时刻,唯一能帮助他的是自然,他有能力。寻找舒适的是自然环境,
即使他的朋友亨利无法帮助他感觉更好。悲痛欲绝的弗兰肯斯坦转向大自然,正是大自然治愈了他并使他恢复理智。以下陈述可以证明这一点,“我在洛桑呆了两天,处于这种痛苦的状态。我凝视着湖面:水面平静;四周一片平静,雪山,
“自然的宫殿”没有改变。平静和天堂般的景象逐渐让我恢复了过来,我继续前往日内瓦,”(雪莉,弗兰肯斯坦)。在整本书中,弗兰肯斯坦与自然之间建立了一种依赖关系,每次与自然互动时,他都能感觉更好。将雪山称为“自然宫殿”,展示了弗兰肯斯坦如何看待他周围的美景。
At the same time he says, “all around was calm,”
Which creates the connection that the calmness he felt in nature, helped him fell calm and content . By contemplating the scenery around him , The scene “restored” him, i.e. the anguish he felt and the painful state of mind he was in previously was healed by being in the presence of nature.
Now ; It can also be said that turning to nature and taking inspiration from . It was his own way of dealing with tough situations and the problems that came his way. However , From the way it has been written , It can also be noted that the author is trying to showcase that the key to healing can be found in nature.
From the way he interacts with his family in Geneva , It is understood that Victor hardly finds any solace in being surrounded by people , Rather he would prefer nature to be his companion , And live on as its partner. Even during his mood being down , And while he feels sad , His family is to unable to make him feel better and he yearns to be surrounded by nature alone.
Therefore, his relationship with nature is seen to be more profound and far more precious to him than any other relationship , For he can only find comfort in nature . He even rejects the notion that his family can help in any way and make him feel better , For he feels that nobody apart from nature can truly understand his suffering.
译文:同时他说,“周围很平静,”
这创造了他在大自然中感受到的平静,帮助他平静和满足的联系。通过观察周围的风景,场景让他“恢复”,即他之前的痛苦和痛苦的心理状态在大自然面前得到了治愈。
现在 ;也可以说是回归自然,从中汲取灵感。这是他自己处理艰难情况和遇到的问题的方式。然而,从它的写作方式来看,还可以注意到作者试图展示可以在自然界中找到治愈的关键。
从他与日内瓦家人的互动方式来看,维克多在被人包围中几乎找不到任何安慰,相反,他更喜欢大自然作为他的伴侣,并继续作为他的伴侣生活。即使在他情绪低落的时候,当他感到悲伤时,他的家人也无法让他感觉更好,他渴望一个人被大自然包围。
因此,他与自然的关系,对他来说,比任何其他关系都更为深刻和珍贵,因为他只能在自然中找到慰藉。他甚至拒绝接受家人可以以任何方式帮助他并使他感觉更好的想法,因为他觉得除了自然之外没有人能真正理解他的痛苦。
He found freedom in nature the likes of which could not be found in his home in Geneva,
For it was ordained with different rules . And standards which can be understood by the words she uses in the following sentence . “The shutting of the gates regularly at ten oíclock , And the impossibility of remaining on the lake after that hour, had rendered our residence within the walls of Geneva very irksome to me,” (Shelly, 60).
He felt best when he was free and in the company of nature for he could spend hours at an end by the lakeside , Or sitting atop the rocks, or just underneath a tree and enjoy his time , And the tranquility he experienced.
By Frankenstein expressing that he feels free and at home when he is surrounded by nature , It can be seen that he has shunned humanity and would rather spend his life alone, in the company of nature , Instead of spend it with his family . He feels strongly that living with his family feels more like imprisonment to him , Rather than being happy and free , A feeling which he can only relate to when he is surrounded by nature.
From all of these examples it can be clearly noted that for Frankenstein , What mattered more was nature, for in it he found solace and peace . He was able to remain calm and collected in the company of nature , And natural scenery allowed him to express his feelings freely without feeling the need to be wary about what he said.
译文:他在大自然中找到了自由,而这种自由在他日内瓦的家中是找不到的, 自然与人类的关系
因为它有不同的规则。以及可以通过她在下面句子中使用的词来理解的标准。 “经常在十点钟关门,而且在那一小时之后不可能留在湖上,这让我们在日内瓦城墙内的住所让我感到非常厌烦,”(雪莉,60 岁)。
他在自由和自然的陪伴下感觉最好,因为他可以在湖边的尽头度过几个小时,或者坐在岩石上,或者就在树下享受他的时间,以及他所体验的宁静。
弗兰肯斯坦表示,置身于大自然之中,他感到自由自在,可以看出他对人性避而不谈,宁愿与大自然单独相处,也不愿与家人共度余生。他强烈地感到与家人住在一起对他来说更像是监禁,而不是快乐和自由,这种感觉只有在他被大自然包围时才能产生。
从所有这些例子中可以清楚地看出,对于弗兰肯斯坦来说,更重要的是自然,因为他在其中找到了安慰与和平。他能够在大自然的陪伴下保持冷静和镇定,自然风光让他可以自由地表达自己的感受,而不必担心他所说的话。
Every time he felt guilt or sadness
He would seek the company of nature , Which would help him out of his depression and he would feel happy and whole again.
To conclude, I would just like to say that nature was extremely significant to Frankenstein’s health and to ensure that he keeps his sanity , As compared to anything else in the story . Shelly has used this element to express the importance of it for the main character , While at the same time giving across the message that spending time in nature is far more beneficial than having company of people that only make you feel uncomfortable.
She portrays nature as an element that has healing properties. And is able to heal the soul as well as external wounds . Spending time with nature helps Frankenstein re-connect with his thoughts and soul , And at the same time helps heal the wounds he has experienced by the loss of his loved ones, especially his brother.
While nature is not the main theme of the novel , Sometimes it is seen to take precedence over everything else , Showing that the author may have overused the concept. However, I do believe that the beauty and simplicity with which it has been depicted shows that Frankenstein valued nature, more than anything else in the world , And he was able to find solace in it. For him,
It meant more than spending time with other people , And he experienced immense happiness and pleasure when he was surrounded by natural landscapes.
译文:每次他感到内疚或悲伤
他会寻求自然的陪伴,这会帮助他摆脱抑郁,他会重新感到快乐和完整。
最后,我只想说,与故事中的其他任何内容相比,大自然对弗兰肯斯坦的健康和确保他保持理智的重要性极其重要。雪莉用这个元素来表达它对主角的重要性,同时传达这样的信息,即在大自然中度过时光比与只会让你感到不舒服的人在一起更有益。
她将自然描绘成一种具有治疗作用的元素。并且能够治愈灵魂以及外伤。与大自然共度时光有助于弗兰肯斯坦重新与他的思想和灵魂建立联系,同时帮助治愈他因失去亲人,尤其是他的兄弟而遭受的创伤。
虽然自然不是小说的主题,但有时它被视为优先于其他一切,表明作者可能过度使用了这个概念。然而,我确实相信它所描绘的美丽和简单表明弗兰肯斯坦比世界上任何其他事物都重视自然,并且他能够在其中找到慰藉。为了他,
这不仅仅意味着与其他人共度时光,当他被自然景观包围时,他体验到了巨大的幸福和愉悦。
