论麦克白的性格特征

On Macbeth's Characteristics

《麦克白》是莎士比亚四大悲剧中的最后一部,也是“一出最令人恐惧的悲剧”。正是在这种令人恐惧的氛围中,莎士比亚着重描绘了麦克白从一个气势非凡的英雄沉沦为一个祸国殃民的暴君的过程,深刻揭示了个人野心和权势欲望对人性的吞噬,表现了极端个人主义生活道路的反人道的实质。在探讨麦克白性格特征过程中,我们将批判地借鉴以往莎士比亚评论中的一切有益见解,也将有意识地把人物性格分析方法与意象分析方法有机结合起来,以期更好地把握这一悲剧的思想内涵和审美特征。

'Macbeth' is the last of the four tragedies written by shakespeare and it is also 'the most frightening one'. It was just in the frightening atmosphere that Shakespeare depicted how Macbeth, who was once a powerful hero, sank into a tyrant bringing calamity to the country and people. That reflected his individual ambition and lust for power, which destroyed human nature and showed us the essence of anti-humanity caused by the extreme individualism. In the discussion about characteristics of Macbeth, we will draw on the advantages of comment on Shakespeare's works in a critical way, and connect the analytical ways about characters of persons and imagery in order to grasp the ideological connotation and the aesthetic features of the tragedy.
