Abstract

: Unlike English literature, the taxonomy of the romantic heroine in the Braj literature is extended and elaborate. The nomenclature employed for each kind is descriptive, and far beyond the regular, hackneyed girlfriend, lover, beloved, sweetheart and darling type. These English expressions only tell us about romantic or sexual relationship between two lovers-married or unmarried, whereas the courtly Braj poets coined different words for heroine to express their psychological states of mind as well. Since this extended taxonomy follows a pattern that was well-established in the Bhagavata and Gita Govinda, and further mastered and reached to its perfection in the hands of Keshavdas and others, the Braj expressions are not only psychological in nature but they also reflect the religious overtone in its backdrop. The Hindu god and goddess, i.e. Krishna, Radha and Gopis are actually metaphors for lovers and beloved. This paper focuses on the taxonomy of heroine, and analyzes her moods, manipulation, persona and psyche enveloped in the poetry, while employing the textual analysis as a tool for research.
浪漫主义女主的分类:探析布拉吉诗歌中的心理与宗教方面
与英国文学不同的是,布拉吉文学中浪漫女主角的分类是广泛而详尽的。每一种类型的命名都是描述性的,远远超出了常规的、陈腐的女朋友、情人、心爱的、甜心和亲爱的类型。这些英语表达只告诉我们两个恋人之间的浪漫或性关系,无论是已婚还是未婚,而宫廷诗人为女主角创造了不同的词汇来表达他们的心理状态。由于这种扩展的分类法遵循了《博伽梵塔》和《吉塔·戈文达》中确立的模式,并在凯萨瓦达和其他人手中进一步掌握和达到了完美,因此布拉吉语的表达不仅本质上是心理的,而且还反映了其背景中的宗教色彩。印度教的神和女神,即奎师那、罗陀和戈皮斯实际上是爱人和被爱的隐喻。本文以文本分析法为研究工具,对女主进行分类,分析女主在诗歌中的情绪、手法、人格和心理。
