Ode to the West Wind

By 杨雨欣 3天前 6次浏览

In Percy Bysshe Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind", why does the poet repeatedly regard the west wind as both a "destroyer" and a "preserver", and what does this dual identity imply about the poet's view of historical change?

    Shelley dubs the west wind both "destroyer" and "preserver" for its dual natural power: it scatters dead leaves, blasts decaying things, and ends the old order (destruction), yet also sows seeds underground and heralds spring's rebirth (preservation). This duality mirrors his view of historical change: he believes progress arises from the collapse of outdated systems—destruction is not futile, but a necessary prelude to renewal. The wind symbolizes revolutionary forces that dismantle tyranny and stagnation, while nurturing new life and ideals. For Shelley, historical change is an cyclical, dynamic process where destruction and preservation coexist, driving society toward freedom and enlightenment.
