William Wordsworth's autobiographical poem, The Prelude, has received a great number of critical attention for a long time. The poem demonstrates the process of Wordsworth's mental and spiritual growth to be a great poet. In this poem, Nature inspires Wordsworth to tell a story with imagination in which the past harmonizes with the present. After that, the story shows him the future that he dreams of. The depiction of the French Revolution, particularly, shows these process. In The Prelude, Wordsworth changes his point of view about the Revolution continuously throughout the story and tries to make it related to Nature. This new attempts make two aporias: one related to the temporal complexities, another to the French Revolution.
Wordsworth uses narrative structures to promote lyric effects. Narrative theory, especially the theory of Paul Ricoeur, helps us understand wordsworth's unusual causal relations become a reasonable story. For Ricoeur, time becomes human time after being organized with the manner of a narrative. This would show one's life and explain who the person is. Ricoeur explains the process which makes events meaningful with Mimesis developed from Aristotle's.
The Prelude's narrative structure could also have a powerful influence over the temporality of the reading process, which creates an ambiguous temporal relationship between the narrator and the readers of the poem.
In The Prelude, while describing his experiences with Nature, Wordsworth repeatedly reminds us of the relationships among the experiences, his mental development, and his final status as a poet. Wordsworth tells us explicitly, and repeatedly, that Nature has fostered and guided the growth of his mind.
Especially, Wordsworth tries to make relationship between Nature and the French Revolution reasonable, but it doesn't work at once. Also, he keeps changing his thoughts, thus continuously changing the writing. In these processes, Wordsworth can find his sincere identity and the poem's aporias seem to be solved.
