“你把我的心劈为两半”——也谈哈姆雷特的正义性

人们对于哈姆雷特形象的认知素有争议。有一种观点认为从哈姆雷特对待身边人的态度,尤其是对待母亲的态度可知哈姆雷特的非正义特征。从文本语境出发,哈姆雷特对待身边人的态度并非因为其它,而是因为身边人无意中成为罪恶势力的"共谋者",哈姆雷特无法听之任之、坐以待毙。从剧作《哈姆雷特》创作的时代背景——文艺复兴及作品所处的宗教背景出发可以看到哈姆雷特母亲再婚事件在当时基督教背景下的乱伦性质及其仓促性;这宗婚姻背后是一桩伤天悖理的杀人案,哈姆雷特对母亲的无礼事出有因,无法以此来说明其非正义性。相反,正是正义力量的激励,哈姆雷特才显得如此冲动无礼!持此观点者有着过深的英雄情节。

People＇s attitudes towards the image of Hamlet are quite controversial. Some person believes that Hamlet is not justified because he is so rode to his mother. However, l^om the perspective ofrefigion, it is not right for his mother＇s marrying the new king; besides that, the marriage is in a great hurry; and most important of all, his mother married the man who killed his father.
