燻り出されるオーク

―ブレイクの『ミルトン』第18［20］葉後半部―

Orc Observed:
Blake’s Milton, Plate 18[20]

Abstract

This paper discusses one passage from William Blake’s Milton, plate 18[20], lines 26-51. In this passage, Orc, a mythical character, plays in some way a role as the mirror-image of Shadowy Female, who stands for Orc’s counterpart or spouse, and induces Satanic failure of self-righteousness and scientific biases as is described in lines 1-25 of the same plate. Plate 18[20] depicts the dark side of self-consciousness along with the alliteration of letter “c” ([k]) and “g.” The metaphoric usage of “Clothing” found in the first half of the plate continues in the latter half but the stress is gradually put more on “Couch” in the passage.
