《第十二夜》的狂欢化叙事

On the Carnivalized Narration in The Twelfth Night

莎士比亚《第十二夜》的狂欢化叙事特征首先体现在故事发生的时空,如第十二夜是圣诞假期结束前的最后一夜,也是狂欢的最后一夜,而故事发生的地点伊利里亚地方的风俗也具有狂欢的特质;其次是该剧的多重叙事特征,小丑和下人等成为叙事主体,完成了权利的消解,体现了狂欢中的平民化特色;最后,对小丑话语的现代解读具有解构主义的特征。

The carnivalized narration of The Twelfth Night is firstly characterized with the time and space it took place： the date of Twelfth Night is the last night of end of Christmas Holiday,which is also the last night of the carnivalized festival,while Illylia where the story happened is also symbolized with revelry. With multiple narrators,the minor characters come to the front stage and become the subjects of narration,reflecting the secularization. The last point is the deconstruction of the discourse of the fools in this drama.
