《野性的假日》是理查德·赖特撰写的唯一一部以白人为题材的小说,赖特指出黑人所遭受的社会、经济和心理等方面的压力也同样出现在白人身上。小说主人公厄斯特·富勒的个人经历表明:退休是人生从高峰转入低谷的转折期,由此而产生的焦虑、抑郁等心理反应将加重人的失落感和彷徨感;人生低谷期可能激活幼年时形成的潜意识,导致现实某物与过去情感的移情错位,从而使潜意识或无意识的宿怨转化成有意识的暴力或虐待。不合理的社会环境会激活和加剧人本来处于抑制状态的野性。本文采用精神分析学的基本原理主要从焦虑、抑郁和虐待三个方面来探讨退休对人的冲击以及宿怨型无意识和潜意识转入有意识状态可能使人走向极端的可怕后果和危机。 Wild Fever is the only whites-themed novel written by Richard Wright. Wright pointed out that the social, economic, and psychological pressures that blacks face also apply to white people. Euston Fuller’s heroic experience shows that retirement is a transitional period in which life turns from peak to trough. The psychological reactions such as anxiety and depression will aggravate the sense of loss and anxiety of people. The trough of life may be activated The subconscious formed at a young age leads to a transgression of reality and past emotions, which translates subconscious or unconscious resentments into conscious violence or abuse. An unreasonable social environment activates and exacerbates the wild nature that people would have been in a state of repression. In this paper, we use the basic principles of psychoanalysis to discuss the impact of retirement on human beings from the three aspects of anxiety, depression and abuse, as well as the terrible consequences and crises that resentment unconsciously and subconsciously turn into conscious states may reach the extreme.
