悲剧中的清醒意识——谈《奥塞罗》的悲剧意义

A Lucid Consciousness in The Tragedy——Discussing the Tragic Significance in “Othello"

莎士比亚借奥塞罗的悲剧命运,使人们不仅认识到人性中的善恶转化及恶随时战胜善的可能性,而且还认识到反动势力的虚伪和残酷及进步力量在发展初期的幼稚和本身存在的弱点,从而警醒世人要保持清醒的头脑,勇于和自身本性中的弱点作斗争,勇于和反动阶级及本阶级内部的反动势力作斗争,积极地追求幸福生活,其作品具有历史意义和现实意义。

Through Othello's tragic fate,Shakespeare makes people not only recognize the possibility of the conversion of goodness into evil and of evil defeating goodness at any moment in human's nature,but also realize hypocrisy and cruelty of the reactionary force and puerility and weakness of the progressive force.And therefore he advises humankind to keep the clear-headed mind,to try to overcome their own weakness,to endeavor to struggle against the reactionary class and the reactive force within their own class,and to strive for their happy life.So this great piece owns historical and realistic significance.
