學年 / 88　學生 / Daisy Tsai-Ching Yeh 葉采青　指導教授 / Fr. Daniel Bauer 鮑端磊老師　

This thesis focuses on the seduction scenes in Daniel Defoe's heroine-centered novels, Moll Flanders and Roxana, and its major approach is to study how the female protagonists Moll and Roxana improve or degenerate themselves under emotional weakness and temptations of flattery and material sustenance. The main concern is to analyze how the women deal with their precarious positions, and at last become adventurous ladies.
The content is divided into three main chapters, and the topic-seduction-is examined in respect to three aspects: psychological comfort, financial security, and physical pleasure. Through the analysis and comparative study of the female characters and seduction scenes, the similarities and dissimilarities of Moll and Roxana's inclinations will be completely revealed. The thesis writer hopes to offer deeper interpretations of two instructive characters as well as some other interesting episodes in the fiction of Daniel Defoe.

The Way to Freedom: Individuation and Wholeness in H.D.'s Helen in Egypt 解放之路：H.D. 《海倫在埃及》詩作中的個體化與人神合一

學年 / 87　學生 / Alex Kuo-liang Yuo 游國良　指導教授 / Dr. Raphael J. Schulte 蕭笛雷老師　

Helen in Egypt is one of H.D.'s revisionist mythmaking works.
It is the revision of Homer's story of Helen of Troy, the
beautiful but dangerous woman. Her version of the story is
based on Euripides' Helen as well as Andromache, and Stesichorus'
Pallinode. It states that Helen walking on the wall of Troy is
a phantom, whose image is created by jealous deities for revenge
and the real Helen had been sent to Egypt by Hermes. The work
itself is divided into three parts: "Pallinode," an apology or
defense; "Leuke," the white island; and "Eidolon." Two of them
have seven books, and another six books.
But HE is not just a literary work, but a death song or a
description of life journey. It is a witness of H.D.'s life and
death, and, most important of all, this work is H.D.'s book of
identity, reconciliation, and salvation, presenting Helen's
process of self-discovery and Individuation. In light of Jung's
theory of Individuation and Wholeness, HE follows the stages of
initiation, reconciliation, and individuation and its aim is to
find the way to freedom. Before reaching this realm of ultimate
freedom, Helen and Achilles must die spiritually, then being
initiated by the Goddess of Love and transcending the opposite
between Love and Death through the knowledge of the Kabbalah.
Only by undergoing these stages of self-realization can Helen
and Achilles find their way to salvation or freedom, which is
the only answer and award to their life sufferings.
