앤드류 마아블의 "호라티우스풍의 부(賦)" 연구 = A Study on Andrew Marvell`s "Horatian Ode"

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Because of the ambivalences of "Horatian Ode" evoked by many ironies and ambiguities, much ink has been spilled over the issue of who is the real hero or of whom Marvell is on the side. I do not wish to add a little ink to the same premises, but I can only suggest in passing that Marvell takes up the position that whether we like it or not, history has to be accepted. Charles I died with dignity; but Cromwell was the instrument of Providence or history. It is clear that he was prepared to accept the triumphant revolution over the king, whose bleeding head was needed as the foundation of Commonwealth.
For too many readers the scene of Charles's execution disturbs the center of gravity of the poem. If we do not, however, forget the fact that throughout the poem Marvell wants to put the focus on the historical development, we can safely say that his sympathy for Charles I's personal virtues is outweighed by his admiration for Cromwell who is supported by the historical force and God's will.
Marvell's famous phrase "the Cause was too good to have been fought for" does not mean that after the Restoration he rejected the cause of the revolution, but that the war should not have been fought because it need not have been fought, because the victory of Parliament was inevitable, war or not.
Though we can read off a little reluctance to the cruelties of the war and the forced power, this poem shows that Marvell was no longer an aristocratic young cavalier but a sound Parliamentarian.
