초록

The aim of this thesis is to interpret John Donne's three-stanza-composed poem, “The Prohibition,” not in terms of the western logic of syllogism but in terms of Nāgārjuna's dialectic deconstruction which T. R. V. Murti named the Mādhyamika dialectic. This paper attempts to search for John Donne's greater closeness to eastern thought than to western thought. Unlike Hegel, who supports the traditional logic of thesis-antithesis-synthesis, Nāgārjuna makes use of a negative dialectic to attain his goal. The negation consists of two stages:the first is the negation of all metaphysical views, and the other the affirmation of the alternatives. Called Tetralemma (四句否定),his negation has the form of neither-nor (雙遮) which is employed to deconstruct the four extreme and exclusive views or binary oppositions of the metaphysical. Additionally, his affirmation is embodied in the formular of both-and (雙照),which embraces all of the alternatives. Both the first stanza and the second stanza of “The Prohibition” as one unit are true of the form neither-nor. I want to say that the third stanza independently corresponds to both-and. In the third stanza, the speaker tells his mistress to love and hate him simultaneously too. Thus, these two extreme passions cancel each other out. He says that she should love him in order that he may die in the gentler way (through orgasm). She should also hate him since her love is too powerful for him lest one of these two alone would destroy him. Then, he shall be a type of living exhibition for her to display her conquest rather than a triumph (where captives were later slaughtered). In order to let him live, she should not destroy her love, her hatred, and him but rather she should love and hate him at the same time.
