The analytical psychology founded by Carl Gustav Jung reveals that everyone has both the persona played outside and the shadow hidden within. To take Wu Song, one of the main characters in Water Margin, as an example, the persona he wears is both the tiger slayer and one of the righteous bandits in Mount Liangshan; however, when he becomes an outlaw, he turns violent and perverse, opposing to social conventions without control. The key of change in the process of personalization, as Jung indicates, is the outcome of pros and cons psychological interaction. To correspond to Wu Song, his image represents both the positive tiger slayer and the negative violent shadow hidden in his subconsciousness and unconsciousness. Jung's analytical psychology can discern the entire process of Wu Song's change from a tiger slayer to an outlaw. Shi Nai'an, the author of Water Margin, lays out the description of Wu Song in the context of being a conscious persona (the tiger slayer) and an unconscious shadow image (the violent bandit). He takes into account both the description of a character and the psychological personalization. Also, the piece of art work is the demonstration of the author's writing skill; moreover, he makes the characters in his fiction more vivid. Water Margin deserves its name of the only representative of novel among the Six Works of Genius. |
