Daddy's Girl: Incest in Life and Literature
American Imago Pub Date : 2022-12-08
Jeffrey Meyers

Abstract:

Eric Gill wallowed in his depravity and didn’t care about the terrible effects on the young girls in his family. Djuna Barnes was permanently wounded by her double trauma. Diana Arbus supposedly felt no guilt, but killed herself. Sappho Durrell, psychologically damaged, also committed suicide. In the literary works, the brother-sister incest ranges from doubly tragic in John Ford to mythically and musically elevated in Thomas Mann. It is idealized, even glorified, despite the tragic consequences, in Jean Cocteau and his follower Lawrence Durrell. Incest is elusive and merely hinted at in Barnes, disastrous and tragic in Scott Fitzgerald. All these works contrast the evil curse of incest with its perverse delights, and never resolve the eternal conflict between passionate nature and repressive morality.

爸爸的女儿:生活与文学中的乱伦

摘要:

埃里克吉尔沉浸在他的堕落中,并不关心他家里年轻女孩的可怕影响。Djuna Barnes 因双重创伤而永久受伤。据说戴安娜·阿勃丝没有感到内疚,但自杀了。Sappho Durrell 的心理受到伤害,也自杀了。在文学作品中,兄妹乱伦的范围从约翰福特的双重悲剧到托马斯曼的神话和音乐升华。尽管造成了悲惨的后果,但在让·谷克多和他的追随者劳伦斯·达雷尔身上,它被理想化了,甚至被美化了。乱伦是难以捉摸的,在巴恩斯那里只是暗示,在斯科特·菲茨杰拉德那里是灾难性和悲剧性的。所有这些作品都将乱伦的邪恶诅咒与其变态的快乐进行了对比,并没有解决热情的本性与压抑的道德之间永恒的冲突。
