莎士比亚悲剧的宗教解读

To Interpret Shakespeare's Tragedy from a Religious Perspective

莎士比亚悲剧形成的根本原因是无所不在的"恶",而"恶"源于人的自由意志。在悲剧中,莎士比亚一方面表现人的理性力量,另一方面也揭示了人的有限性和悲剧性处境。这种对人的本质的理解,与基督新教对人的本质理解是一致的。从莎士比亚悲剧中,我们可以看到他对基督教文化继承与发展的一面。

'Evil', originating from the free will of human, is of the basic causes of the charm of Shakespeare's tragedy.
