Vanessa Zoltan: 我认为本章的核心矛盾在于哈利·波特与邓布利多之间的对话。邓布利多试图消除哈利对必须杀死伏地魔的矛盾情绪,但他采取的方式是操纵性的,并且忽略了哈利的感受。他试图通过强调哈利的愿望和伏地魔的邪恶行径来劝说哈利,但这并没有真正解决哈利的矛盾心理。这种做法让我感到不舒服,因为它感觉像是邓布利多在利用哈利来实现自己的目标。此外,斯内普的矛盾性格也贯穿了本章。他既想做好事,又想保持安全,这两种愿望之间存在冲突。他试图在两者之间寻找平衡,但最终未能成功,这导致了他一系列的犹豫和逃避行为。 总的来说,本章探讨了在面对艰难抉择时,个体内心可能存在的矛盾情绪。哈利和斯内普的经历都展现了这种矛盾的复杂性和其可能带来的后果。 Matt Potts: 我在本章中看到了两种截然不同的矛盾。首先是斯内普的矛盾。他既想帮助邓布利多对抗伏地魔,又想保护自己的安全。他渴望权力和认可,却又害怕承担风险。这种矛盾体现在他与伏地魔的对话中,他既想提供信息,又想掩盖真相。其次是哈利·波特面对必须杀死伏地魔的矛盾。邓布利多试图说服哈利,让他相信这是哈利自己的选择,而不是被迫的。然而,这种说服方式显得有些操纵性,它并没有真正解决哈利的矛盾心理。 我的个人经历也与本章的主题产生共鸣。我曾经在学术生涯和宗教信仰之间徘徊,这两种目标之间存在着矛盾。最终,我选择了学术生涯,但这并不意味着我放弃了宗教信仰。这种矛盾一直存在于我的内心深处,它塑造了我的价值观和人生选择。

Shownotes Transcript

This week, Vanessa and Matt explore the theme of Ambivalence in Chapter 23 of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince! They discuss Slughorn’s lesson, the splitting of souls, and Harry’s destiny! Throughout the episode we consider the question: how does our ambivalence still lead us to a choice?

Thank you to Marissa for this week’s voicemail! We're off for the holidays but we'll be back in 2025 reading Chapter 24, Sectumsempra, through the theme of Impulsivity with Courtney Brown.
