摘要
莎士比亚的《暴风雨》反映了1 7世纪初英国开始争夺海上殖民霸权的现实,既塑造了普洛斯彼罗这个在宗主国处境十分狼狈,而在殖民地却能呼风唤雨的西方父权政治形象,又塑造了凯列班这个貌似妖魔但又在智力、见识、情感上优于某些白人的独特的原住民形象。普洛斯彼罗法术的本质是殖民暴力,但这种暴虐并没有摧垮凯列班的精神:他总是积极主动、有策略地反抗。
Shakespeare's The Tempest reveals obliquely the intense political struggle confronting England in the early 17th century, within and without the country. On the one ha nd, it supports kingship; on the other hand, it is in favor of colonial domination, which is har d won and not fully justified. Prospero's art, a metonymy of actual colonial military invasion, is ever challenged by Caliban the unconquerable master of the island.
