Abstract: This paper reads Herman Melville's Bartleby, the Scrivener as a representation of the space and power mechanism. Based on French philosopher Michel Foucault's theory of power, this paper analyzes the relationship between space and power and explores how this mechanism works on Bartleby. This mechanism is contextualized within the flourishing capitalism in Wall Street in the 19th century. By probing into Bartleby's location, situation and his resistant discourse, this discussion suggests that the space, especially the lawyer's office, varies in its connotations according to the changes falling on Bartleby himself. More specifically, in terms of Bartleby's increasingly worsening situation, the function of space is interpreted according to three facets: the spatial enclosure under power, the spatial establishment against power, and the spatial annihilation and re-enclosure subjected to power.
Key words：Bartleby, Foucault, space, power

论文题目：Bartleby, the Scrivener: Individualism, Determinism and Nihilism /《抄写员巴特比》：个人主义，决定论与虚无主义

Abstract: Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall-street is one of Melville's greatest short stories. H. Bruce Franklin says: To read Bartleby well, we must first realize that we can never know who or what Bartleby is, but that we are continually asked to guess who or what he might be. The ambiguity of Bartleby's action provides many possibilities of different interpretations. Three possible ideologies are revealed in Bartleby: individualism, determinism, and nihilism. This essay deals with how the story manifests these three aspects, and how to face the problem put forward in this story. To elaborate the latter point, Faust written by Goethe will be taken as an example and a comparison. Faust rebels against Predestination set by God by pursuing a life of pleasure without considering the afterlife; while Bartleby, as a poor mortal man, can only rebel against his destiny by death. But they have something in common: they know their fates may be a tragedy, yet they try to live as they wish.
Key words: Bartleby, individualism, determinism, nihilism

Abstract: This paper interprets love and dream in Shakespeare masterpiece, A Midsummer Night's Dream. The two enigmatic concepts, love and dream, have been regarded as the product of imagination or illusions in this play. Yet there is no clear distinction between reality and imagination in the world of fairies. This paper probes into the element of illusion in love and dreams. Particularly, this paper examines the love potion, including where it functions and its consequences. It also probes into the influence of the dream-like love. Finally, it draws the conclusion that love is a waking dream, which means love is a living illusion and it fools lovers into believing that it is real.
Key words：love, dream, imagination, illusion, love-in-idleness
