First, a personal introduction-
■ Tennyson is the most popular poet among readers since ancient times. His poems are beautiful in writing and extensive in content. He used medieval romantic themes, such as the legend of King Arthur's life. (1850) In memory of his close friend Arthur Henry Haram. By insisting on the individual, the poet expanded his philosophical thinking on death, immortality, faith and doubt.
Joyce Irish writer and poet. Born into a Catholic family in Dublin on February 2nd,19411165438+3 died in Zurich, Switzerland. He studied at Cronkiewood College, Belvodir College and University College of Berlin University, and showed his talent in music, religious philosophy and language and literature at an early age, and began to write poems and essays. He is familiar with the works of European writers, especially influenced by Ibsen, and gradually shows a special understanding of the spiritual world of human beings, as well as a rebellion against the religions his family believes in and the customs and traditions in his living environment.
Birth contrast: Tennyson was the greatest poet in19th century, and was made a baron in 1884. However, such a great poet once tried to delete the essence of his poems when he lost confidence in himself, but he was said to be a respected and depressed art explorer. Compared with Joyce, he was exiled to the European continent under economic pressure in order to get rid of the shackles of family religion and his own narrow environment. This shows that the creative background is different.
Comparison of works-
■ Tennyson's Ulysses explores and challenges nature with the first-person "I" until death do us part. The whole poem is full of strength and greatness of human nature, and there is a saying, "Struggle, explore, seek without yielding." It is told by people, but it has its limitations because of its life experience and social background, divorced from reality and with the unique fantasy atmosphere of poets.
Joyce's Ulysses describes the day of the protagonist Leopold Bloom in chronological order. He is a depressed Dublin citizen and an advertising salesman. The whole text shines with this unique stream of consciousness technique, and the time axis is constantly distorted. In this process, the consciousness and thoughts of the characters are also distorted, showing ridicule and criticism of reality.
■ From this, we can see the opposition between Tennyson and Joyce, which can also be said to be the contrast between ideal and reality. No matter which one shines with artistic beauty, it is a work that should never be forgotten.
The above is my humble opinion, please give me more advice.
