该出手时不出手:性格缺陷症者的悲剧——也评《哈姆雷特》

Never Do What One Should Do: The Tragedy of a Contradictory Person——A comment on Hamlet

对于哈姆雷特的悲剧,历来说法不一,但若从原初文本入手,紧扣主人公在剧中的表现,我们不难看出,哈姆雷特悲剧的根源乃在其自身,是其自身性格的缺陷所造成的。哈姆雷特聪明过人而又迂腐可笑,理性节制而又不乏感情用事。这截然相反的性格竟统一在他一个人身上,而最终也正是这一性格的缺陷将他定格在古今中外悲剧人物的长廊里。

There are a lot of different comments on Hamlet＇ s tragedy. But if we try to start from the original text to follow closely the words and deeds of the hero, we will find the root of Hamlet＇ s tragedy Lies in himself. It is his contradictory nature that beads to his tragedy. Hamlet is clever and reasonable on the one hand, and on the other hand, foolish and sentimental. It is just these characters that make him one of the tragic figures in the literary history of the world.
