윌리엄 블레이크 시에 나타난 변증법적인 구조와 주제 = The dialectical structure and theme in William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims at investigating William Blake’s ideas of contraries and seeks to understand the method of uniting contraries and the significance of such marriage in his poetic world. The songs in Songs of Innocence are not purely innocent songs, for they have the world of experience oppressed under the dominant ideology as their background. But it reveals a vision of Utopia attainable beyond such social contraries. Blake’s social criticism in Songs of Experience, is characterized by its severe and bitter satire. We can read more directly and objectively the oppressed and depraved social realities through Songs of Experience. Blake’s poetry aims at getting harmony through conflict of contraries. As he said “Without Contraries is no Progression,” contraries are indispensible for progressing toward harmony in his poetic world. His poetry has a dialectical structure and focuses on a synthesis in a vision of Utopia. (Nazarene University)
