所谓“原型”,指的是反复出现的一个情节样式、一个意象、一个描述的细节,或者是一个人物,这些能在读者身上产生强烈而又不合逻辑的反应。这一术语是通过卡尔·荣格的心理学著作引入到文学批评中的。荣格说:“原型即领悟的典型模式。每当我们面对普遍一致、反复发生的领悟模式,我们就是在与原型相通。” The so-called “archetype” refers to a repeated plot style, an image, a description of the details, or a figure, which can produce a strong and illogical reaction on the reader. This term was introduced into literary criticism through Carl Jung’s psychology. Jung said: “Prototypes are the typical patterns that we can comprehend, and whenever we face a pattern of pervasive and recurring insights, we are communicating with the prototypes.”
