Arabic Abstract
تهدف الرسالة الي تحليل شخصيتين : الوحش من رواية "فرانكنشتاين" لميري شيللي و شخصية هيث كليف في رواية " مرتفعات ويترنج" لايميلي برونتي.
تم تحليل الشخصيتين بناءا على قرارتهم التي تم اتخذاها على حسب تأثيرات الظروف المحيطة و تم مقارنة الشخصيتين لاستنتاج تأثير الظروف المؤلمة و المأساوية عليهما و على حياة الشخصيات المحيطة بهما.
و لهذا يتم تحليل بعض النصوص من الروايتين باستخدام القراءة النقدية و نظريات علم النفس التحليلي و الفلسفة الوجودية و المذهب الطبيعي.
أما عن نتائج البحث, تم استنتاج غياب عنصر العاطفة و الرعاية في طفولة الشخصيتين : الوحش و هيث كليف و مما كان ايضا سبب رئيسي في مشاكلهم النفسية و مما حفزهم على اختيار الانتقام.
تم أيضا الاستنتاج بأن الظروف المحيطة تلعب دورا مهما في حياة المرء و أن نتائج الخيارات التي يتم اتخاذها بسبب هذه الظروف.
و حتى عندما حاولت الشخصيتين بتقديم الحب فما وجدو بالمقابل الا الهجر و الحرمان و مما ادى الى الرغبة في الانتقام و المرارة و الغضب اتجاه المجتمع.
English Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the impact of the surrounding circumstances on the choices made by the monster from Marry Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) who took revenge as an expression of his concealed pain, agony and Heathcliff from Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights (1847).
It focuses on comparing how painful and tragic circumstances can force different individuals to pursue different choices, suffer further pain, rejection or glory and solace in life.
In this regard, this study examines how circumstances forces people to make choices in their life, how it affects the choices made by the two characters in the selected novels, compares how the choices made by the characters shapes their entire lives and the lives of people associated with them.
For this purpose, this research undertakes a close and critical reading of the primary texts in light of the theories of Psychoanalysis, Existentialism and Naturalism.
From the findings of the research, it has been proved that in the case of both characters, Heathcliff and the Monster, the absence of love and care in their childhood formed the primary circumstances that compelled them to choose revenge.
Even when they attempted to give love, all what they received in return was abandonment and deprivation which eventually filled them with bitterness and anger towards the society.
Therefore, it can be concluded from the overall research findings that circumstances can play a highly significant role in one's, life and the outcomes of the choices made due to such circumstances can be highly severe and grave.
