美狄亚杀子行为具有深刻的集体无意识的动因,其中女性痛苦的妊娠反应和担心期间被丈夫抛弃的忧虑是杀子意愿产生的重要因素。另外,杀子行为是对“母亲”身份的拒斥,同时也是对于其背后的文化规约与社会义务的拒绝。二者共同构成了杀子的动因,伊阿宋的背叛行为则是激活这种杀子原型的重要情境。 Medea’s killing has profound and collective unconscious motivations, among which women’s painful pregnancy reaction and anxiety about being discarded by their husbands during the fear period are important factors in their desire to kill. In addition, the act of killing children is a rejection of the status of “mother” and a rejection of cultural conventions and social obligations behind it. The two together constitute the motivation for killing the child, and the betrayal of Aeas is an important situation for activating such a prototype.
