莎士比亚十四行诗的戏剧色彩

Dramatic Colouring of the Sonnets by Shakespeare

莎士比亚十四行诗每首的四个诗节在内容上依照起、承、转、合的规律展开、变化、收拢,很像一部四幕剧的发展程序。这种构架富于戏剧性:矛盾的提出、发展、纠葛直到解决,都带有戏剧色彩。莎翁十四行诗共有154首,每首独立成篇,总起来又是一部完整的十四行系列组诗。它通过四个人物的矛盾、纠葛,体现了情节的生动性和丰富性。这里也有一个起、承、转、合的发展程序。它像一部戏剧,是因为它反映了人的矛盾冲突,人与人的关系,人与自然的关系,人与时空的关系,并从对这些关系的思考中总结出深邃的哲理。

Shakespeare's sonnets with four stanzas at the beginning follow ing the principle of 'beginning, development, transition and reiteration' resemble a four - act play in the procedure of development. This kind of form adds dramatic colouring to the development of the sonnet. There are altogether 154 sonnets, with each being an individual one and, on the whole, they can be regarded as a complete series of sonnets. The reason that it can be considered a four-act play is that it demonstrates the conflicts and relationships between individuals, the relationship between Man and Nature and the relationship between Man, Time and Space. It is from this that people obtain a profound philosophical message conveyed in Shakespeare's sonnets.
