벤자민 브리튼과 나사의 회전 소리, 혹은‘해석’의 전회

초록

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, it examines the “reality” of the ghosts in Henry James’s novella “The Turn of the Screw,” and tests the extent to which this reality is possible in Benjamin Britten’s opera The Turn of the Screw. Drawing on the work by well-known Britten scholars, this paper attempts to show the way in which their analyses can be interpreted to test the reality of the ghosts. Second, the present study tests a proposition that the entire opera is a projection of the Governess’s psyche. Based on a working hypothesis that the musical materials of the entire opera grow out of the Governess’s theme, this study discusses the relationship between analysis and interpretation.
