屠格涅夫与莎士比亚

Turgenev and Shakespeare

如果说,屠格涅夫对祖国的眷恋,对自然的温情,对诗意和女性的崇拜以及作品中的那种分寸感是师承了普希金的话, 那么,在西欧文学传统中,他一定最倾心于莎士比亚。他有时直接取莎士比亚的作品题目来为自己的作品命名,如《希格雷县的哈姆雷特》和《草原上的李尔王》;有时着力刻划哈姆雷特式的主人公,如《处女地》中的涅日达诺夫;他还在作品中大量引用莎士比亚的诗句,一位屠格涅夫专家写道:"

In analyzing the fictional style and content of Turgenev's novels,this article asserts that the Russian novelist was greatly influenced by Shakespeare.Like the work of British novelists who borrowed from the playwright,Turgenev's novels reveal pronounced dramatic tendencies. Their emphasis on the inner life of characters, their attitude towards nature and their concern with social significance are examples of Shakespeare's influence.Many of Turgenev's characters,moreover,are modelled after Shakespeare's Hamlet.
