Idealism and Realism:A Study of Bob Dylan's The Death of Emmett Till
The release of The Death of Emmett Till marks the beginning of Bob Dylan's participation in the Civil Rights Movement and Protest Activities,but Dylan's evaluation of the work varies at different stages.By interpreting the song's prototype and analyzing the leftist ideology beneath the lyrics,Dylan's transformation reflects a choice between idealism and realism.Fundamentally,his work was influenced by the Civil Rights Movement,the Folk Revival,and Kapran's classical music,reflecting his folk position and anti-racism thoughts.To evoke empathy among listeners and achieve artistic fairness and justice,he artistically narrates history to highlight racial prejudices in the American South.This reflects Dylan's consistent idealistic pursuit of fairness and justice,forming a sharp contrast with his later tendency towards historical authenticity.The work becomes a watershed in the transformation and maturation of Bob Dylan's artistic thought.
