Samson as depicted in those chapters of Judges is a young man of extraordinary physical strength whose mentality, however, is so immature-almost as childish as a spoilt kid-and whose behaviour is as impulsive as that of a hot-headed rough-neck. By contrast, Samson as we see him in Milton's tragedy is a miserable slave who, with his eyes plucked out and his feet fettered, was forced to labour in a mill. What torments him, however, is not so much his bodily pains as his mental or spiritual agonies resulting from the realization of his own past folly in revealing the secret of his strength to a woman who was bent on betraying him into the hands of his Philistine foes. Comforters (in the role of a chorus in a Greek tragedy) come to visit and console him with sympathetic comments. But Samson rejects their consolations. Then comes his old father Manoa. who, aghast at the plight of his son, offers to arrange ransom with the Philistine lords. After Manoa comes Samson's wife, who had beguiled him. She pleads with him to accept her proposals for reconciliation. Samson gives vent to his anger, rebuking her in the harshest of all words. Then Harapha comes round and challenges Samson with his bombast. Then, a Philistine officer comes to summon Samson to the \"agon\" or \"fighting arena\", not for the sake of a fighting as such, but for the sake of providing fun for the Philistine spectators in celebration of a feast dedicated to their god Dagon. Samson first refuses to comply, but upon a Philistine messenger coming a second time to fetch him, he does comply with their orders. What has made Samson change his mind? The question may best be answered in terms of the changes Milton himself went through during the time his wife Mary stayed away from him. Milton's distrust of womanhood tormented him all the while, but when Mary came back to him in 1645 and begged him to forgive her for her past misconduct, Milton, though he may initially have had some difficulty in pardoning his wife, did pardon her after all. This course of domestic affairs may suggest a gradual maturing of Milton's mentality, and some such maturing process is seen also in the change of mind which Samson had gone through. Samson's final acceptance of the Philistine orders to present himself in the arena may be taken as an indication that at that point he had already passed from the stage of \"rejecting\" everything according to his own principles, to that of \"accepting\" something, if not all even if that may compromise his principles. In that sense, Samson may be thought of as a projection of Milton's maturing selfhood","subitem_description_type":"Abstract"}]},"item_2_source_id_11":{"attribute_name":"書誌レコードID","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_source_identifier":"AA11526999","subitem_source_identifier_type":"NCID"}]},"item_2_source_id_9":{"attribute_name":"ISSN","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_source_identifier":"1346-034X","subitem_source_identifier_type":"ISSN"}]},"item_2_version_type_20":{"attribute_name":"著者版フラグ","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_version_resource":"http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85","subitem_version_type":"VoR"}]},"item_creator":{"attribute_name":"著者","attribute_type":"creator","attribute_value_mlt":[{"creatorNames":[{}],"nameIdentifiers":[{"nameIdentifier":"206","nameIdentifierScheme":"WEKO"}]}]},"item_files":{"attribute_name":"ファイル情報","attribute_type":"file","attribute_value_mlt":[{"accessrole":"open_date","date":[{"dateType":"Available","dateValue":"2013-06-26"}],"displaytype":"detail","filename":"KJ00004198738.pdf","filesize":[{"value":"1.6 MB"}],"format":"application/pdf","licensetype":"license_note","mimetype":"application/pdf","url":{"label":"KJ00004198738.pdf","url":"https://honan.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/282/files/KJ00004198738.pdf"},"version_id":"d9b15f82-e482-48c0-98f9-127dfff49cb9"}]},"item_language":{"attribute_name":"言語","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_language":"jpn"}]},"item_resource_type":{"attribute_name":"資源タイプ","attribute_value_mlt":[{"resourcetype":"departmental bulletin paper","resourceuri":"http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501"}]},"item_title":"自己投影としての「闘士サムソン」","item_titles":{"attribute_name":"タイトル","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_title":"自己投影としての「闘士サムソン」"},{"subitem_title":"Samson the Agonist as a Projection of Milton's Selfhood","subitem_title_language":"en"}]},"item_type_id":"2","owner":"17","path":["76"],"pubdate":{"attribute_name":"公開日","attribute_value":"2013-06-26"},"publish_date":"2013-06-26","publish_status":"0","recid":"282","relation_version_is_last":true,"title":["自己投影としての「闘士サムソン」"],"weko_creator_id":"17","weko_shared_id":-1},"updated":"2023-06-20T13:14:58.107257+00:00"}
