我梦见我拿走了威廉·伯劳(William Burrough)的阴茎,并用钢琴绑起来。我像夏加尔的画一样吊死他……在下一部分J.G.巴拉德(Ballard)穿过雌性尿液的街道。女孩们读了他的书崩溃,然后用大众汽车将他割下来,慢慢地将胸部压在砖墙上。当他在比代表大的痛苦中尖叫时,他们提到了他的文字并进行性高潮。后来,他们跳来跳去大喊:“你不是英雄。你不是英雄。你不。你不。你不。' 您如何分析梦想的那一部分,安娜? …我想我对自己的生日感到紧张。
(I dreamt that I took William Burrough's penis and tied it up with piano wire. I hung him like a Chagall painting…In the next part J.G. Ballard swam through streets of female urine. The girls read his book Crash and then mowed him down with their Volkswagen, crushing his chest slowly against a brick wall. As he screamed in agony larger than representation can accommodate, they referred to his text and had orgasms. Later, they jumped up and down yelling, 'You're not a hero. You're not a hero. You're not. You're not. You're not.' How do you analyze that part of the dream, Anna? …I guess I'm nervous about my birthday.)
在这个超现实的梦想序列中,作者安娜探索了威廉·伯洛斯(William Burroughs)和J.G.等文学人物的复杂主题。巴拉德。巴拉德(Ballard)与女性尿液和致命的车祸的奇异遇到的暴力图像表明,对男性气质的批评和艺术代表的后果。女孩们对巴拉德的侵略强调了文学和性别的权力动态主题,这表明拒绝传统英雄主义。
安娜承认她对即将到来的生日的焦虑告知这些令人不安的图像表明了梦想中的心理层面。在怪异的场景中使用著名作者可能会表明她对身份和社会期望的内部斗争。梦想反映了关于衰老,相关性和被边缘化的恐惧的潜在紧张,封装在女孩的颂歌中“你不是英雄”。它强调了文学经典的幻灭,并挑战了创造性表达中英雄主义和权威的观念。
