Abstract

My recognition of Paul Ornstein’s outstanding contributions to psychoanalytic theory and practice cannot be overstated. But there’s a special place in my heart for his work on Dostoevsky. For decades Paul has immersed himself in Dostoevsky, reading all of his novels and writing several articles. I wanted to pay tribute to this work but in the available time (or in any amount of time) I knew I wouldn’t write an article that could stand next to Paul’s profound and scholarly articles on Dostoevsky (Ornstein, 1993, 2012). In this necessarily smaller project I am, therefore, responding to Paul’s work on The Brothers Karamazov by exploring Chekhov’s Three Sisters, undertaken in a tragicomic spirit that (I hope) will honor both Paul Ornstein and Anton Chekhov. I shall look at the characters in Three Sisters, especially their feelings of loss and longing—the sources, modes of expression, or ways of warding off such feelings.
契诃夫《三姐妹》中的失落与渴望:普罗佐罗夫姐妹对卡拉马佐夫兄弟的回答(以小调小尺度模仿保罗·奥恩斯坦的尝试)
我对保罗·奥恩斯坦对精神分析理论和实践的杰出贡献的认可再怎么强调也不为过。但他对陀思妥耶夫斯基的研究在我心中有着特殊的地位。几十年来,保罗一直沉浸在陀思妥耶夫斯基的作品中,读了他所有的小说,还写了几篇文章。我想要向这项工作致敬,但在可用的时间内(或在任何时间内),我知道我不会写一篇可以与保罗关于陀思妥耶夫斯基的深刻而学术的文章相提并论的文章(Ornstein, 1993,2012)。因此,在这个必然较小的项目中,我通过探索契诃夫的《三姐妹》来回应保罗在《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》中的工作,以一种悲喜剧的精神进行,(我希望)能同时纪念保罗·奥恩斯坦和安东·契诃夫。我将研究《三姐妹》中的人物,尤其是他们的失落和渴望之情——它们的来源、表达方式和避免这种情绪的方式。
