惠特曼《啊,船长,我的船长哟》精品课件

在惠特曼从事诗歌创作的年代，控制美 国诗坛的是所谓“高雅派”诗人，他们一 味以模仿英国诗歌为能事，而当时的英国 诗歌也浪漫主义的末流，这种诗风在美国 产生的只能是等而下之的仿制品。 惠特曼来了，带着手脚上的泥土和 草叶，带着汗珠和露水，从码头、田野、 矿山、街市走来，放开嗓门，大胆高歌， 带着开天辟地的一个崭新的“人的姿 态”——他一开口就是一个崭新的文明的 声音----这就是“新兴的美国文明”的声 音。
3、林肯称呼的转换对情感表达的作用。
每节开头，诗人直称林肯为“我的船 长” ，表达了一个士兵，一个水手，抒发对 自己的统帅亲切爱戴之情。
第1节末句“他”，林肯之死的突然，使诗 人在震惊中感情麻木而没有感到过度的悲伤， 只是当作一件客观事件 来接受，来陈述。
第2节，诗人称林肯为“亲爱的父亲”， 把他当作最亲近的人，这比上节只称林肯 为船长感情更近一层。 末句“你”，诗人从震惊中惊醒，悲 伤涌上他的心头，但是他在感情上不能接 受这样的现实，他不肯相信船长已经死去， 他对船长仍用“你”来称谓，表示船长和 他一样，仍是在人世间活生生的人，只是 暂时“倒下来”而已。
南北战争是美国历史上第二次资产阶 级民主革命。这次革命的成功促进了美 国资本主义的发展。林肯总统为美国历 史写下了光辉的一页，功勋卓著。在全 国欢庆大胜利的时刻，对民主怀有刻骨 仇恨的南方奴隶主派间谍暗杀了林肯总 统。在林肯总统死后，惠特曼写下了 《啊，船长，我的船长哟!》这首诗， 以表达对林肯的痛悼与怀念之情。
惠特曼
林肯
林肯是惠特曼心中长期盼望的政治 家，惠特曼把林肯看作是自由、民主、 平等的象征，林肯的出现给惠特曼的后 半生带来了新的力量和信心。
本诗写作背景
1783年，美国脱离英国的统治独立后， 国内存在着雇佣劳动制和黑人奴隶制。 1860年11月，以反对奴隶制而著名的林 肯当选为美国总统。南方几个州宣布脱 离联邦政府而独立，1861年4月，又首先 出兵叛乱，引发了内战。林肯总统上任 不到半年，就领导联邦政府军，在广大 人民的支持下，经过了四年的奋战，击 败了南方叛军，维护了美国的统一，废 除了黑人奴隶制。

诗歌赏析！
全诗三节，逐层深入地表达了诗人对林肯总统的 热爱和深切的悼念之情。 1．航程结束，大船凯旋，船长却倒下了。噩耗 伴随着胜利的巨大欢乐而来，人们为船长的死而 悲恸、痛惜。 2．人民群众为大船凯旋而热情欢呼，钟声军号 齐鸣，旗帜飘扬，鲜花飞舞，但船长倒下了，人 们是多么悲痛！ 3．航船下锚，大功告成，而船长永远倒下了。
我们的船长不作回答他的双唇惨白而寂静我的父亲不能感觉我的手臂他已没有脉息没有知觉我们的船已安全抛锚碇泊已经结束了它的航程胜利的船从险恶的旅途归来我们寻求的已赢得手中
