论莎剧中基督教传统与人文主义精神的双声糅合——以《暴风雨》为中心

On the Mixture of Christian Tradition and Humanist Spirit in Shakespeare's Plays― Focusing on The Tempest

文艺复兴时期,知识界的思想现状是复杂多样化的,艺术创作中基督教传统与人文主义精神的混合是较为普遍的现象。莎士比亚剧作是这方面的一个代表。从他剧作的思想内容来看,表现为对基督教传统和文艺复兴时代精神的兼容并蓄。以《暴风雨》为例,剧中人有的纯洁有礼,有的善念尚存,有的内心为野心和妄想所占据;而普洛斯彼罗这个人物是神性、人性和魔性的统一体。全剧以对基督教传统和人文主义精神的双声糅合,维持着文本的意义开放性,这种开放性使得莎剧成为经典中的经典。

During the Renaissance the mixture of Christian tradition and humanist spirit in artist creation was common because of intellectual diversity. Shakespeare＇ s plays are representative of this phenomenon. In theme and content, his plays displays the combination of Christian tradition and the Renaissance spirit. Take The Tempest for example, in which some of the characters are pure and polite, some have good will, and some are obsessed with ambitions and delusions;Prosperois the union of deity, humanity, and demon. By means of a blend of Christian tradition and humanist spirit, the play maintains the textual openness, which makes Shakespeare＇s plays the classic of the classics.
