《罗密欧与朱丽叶》——现代爱情悲剧的价值论释义

A New Interpretation of Love Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet

罗密欧与朱丽叶宁愿过一种短暂但充盈的生活,反映出他们拥有的是基督教的线性时间观。两人的爱情悲剧反映出女性还处于封建家长制的男权中心压制下,但同时也体现出文艺复兴时期的女性已经有了主动追求爱情的勇气和自我决断的能力。两人爱情虽然换来了两大家族的和解,但这恰恰是爱情的悲剧性所在,即爱情在本不该取胜的地方获得了胜利。

Romeo and Juliet preferred a transient but substantial life, which reflected the Christian linear conception of time. Their love tragedy revealed that women were suppressed by the feudal patriarchal system. Meanwhile, the tragedy showed that women in the time of Renaissenee had the courage to pursue their own love and the ability to deeide their own fates. Although the love tragedy got the two families reconciled in the end, this was actually where the tragedy of love lied, i. e. the love achieved success in a wrong place.
