论《威尼斯商人》中弱势群体的反抗精神

The Rebelling Spirit of the Weak Group in The Merchant of Venice

在《威尼斯商人》几位主人公中,夏洛克和鲍西亚虽然处于不同阶层,但他们两个都是这部戏剧中的弱势群体;夏洛克作为一个犹太人被基督教徒压迫;鲍西亚作为女性在当时社会也是附属于男人,不能有自己的意志。莎士比亚对当时的这种社会情况非常不满,他试图通过两位主人公语言和行动来表达他的反抗精神。

In the comedy of The Merchant of Venice, although Portia and Shylock didn＇ t belong to the same strata, they shared some thing in common. Both of them belong to the weak group. As a Jew, Shylock was despised by Christians; as a woman, Portia couldn＇t have her own will. Shakespeare is not pleased with the situation, therefore, he shows his rebel by the words and actoin of the two characters.
