This thesis begins with the question why Blake calls the history of 1800 years a “female dream” in Europe: a Prophecy. The perverse doctrine of “Woman’s love is Sin”, which is the agency of a “female dream”, can be regarded as a “Female Will”. It is, for him, the cause of the 1800 years of error and delusion since it has been originated from the notion of the Virgin Birth. The doctrine of ‘Chastity’ and the ‘Moral Law’ of Christianity is a major axis of a “Female Will”. With American and French Revolution, Blake identifies the Nativity of Christ with the appearance of Orc, the embodiment of revolutionary energy. He also comprehends that ‘Orc-Jesus’ is both the actual occasion of a “female dream” and the clue to the exposition of the origins of the oppressive history. In short, the aim of Blake’s portrayal of 1800 years as a “female dream” is to explore the oppressive history under which the creative energy of sex has been repressed and corrupted by the religion of ‘Chastity’ and the ‘Moral Law’. The sneaking submissive strategy of ‘male’ Fairy reveals a “Female Will” to be the doctrine of the material world, while the shadowy female’s question of the binding of ‘the infinite’ reminds us of the Fall into the material world and the redemptive ways. On the ground of this relationship between the material world and a “Female Will”, the ‘Prophecy’ proper explores the historical origins of oppression. The ambiguous conclusion reflects Blake’s ‘prophetic’ attitude to the confusing and dark 1794. Jerusalem manifests the way Los dissolves a “Female Will” a brief survey of which makes it possible to evaluate the ambiguous and problematic vision of Europe in the larger reference frame.
