Abstract

After Europe experienced the horrors of Hitler and the conclusive loss of belief in God, long gloried as a writer of mythical, religious even grotesque novels, Murdoch adds in her major fiction The Black Prince many mythical factors. Adopting myth and archetypal criticism as the theoretical basis for the study, this paper intends to explore a series of archetypal characters and classical themes and interpret Iris Murdoch’s deep moral concern and persistent artistic pursuit.
