厄普代克的成名之作《兔子,跑吧!》中的男主人公兔子一直是颇有争议的人物,本文结合当时的社会背景,用弗洛伊德人格论对其人格和行为进行分析,从兔子的自恋情结、性冲动、两性关系、家庭危机四方面来看表现在主人公兔子身上突出的强烈的本我和弱化的超我。本人认为兔子在追求幸福时之所以失败,一方面是当时的社会历史背景原因,更重要的是:自我在本我和超我之间难以平衡,是造成悲剧性人物的重要因素。 Updike’s fame as the “rabbit, run!” Male protagonist rabbit has been a controversial figure, combined with the prevailing social background, with Freud’s personality theory of his personality and behavior analysis, from Rabbit’s narcissistic complex, sexual impulses, sexual relations, family crisis, four aspects of performance in the main character of the rabbit prominent strong self and weakened super-me. I think that the reason why rabbits fail in the pursuit of happiness is that on the one hand the social and historical background of the time. More importantly, the self-balance between self and super-self is an important factor in causing tragic characters.
