简析莎士比亚的社会秩序观及其对莎剧人物塑造的影响

The Impact of Shakespeare's Concept of Social Order on his Characterization

莎士比亚及其戏剧作品一直被誉为世界文学的瑰宝 ,而莎翁本人更被誉为“有多少个时代 ,就有多少个莎士比亚”。几百年来莎评家们一直致力于揭开创造这一奇迹的种种可能性 ,而在包罗万象的研究中很少有人涉及莎翁的社会秩序观。其实正如莎士比亚所言“戏剧是时代的缩影和简史”[1 ] ,人是社会的人 ,作为最关心人类和社会命运 ,渴望“向人们倾吐衷肠的”[2 ] (P339) 文学家们是无法脱离其社会观的影响而进行创作的。所以从剖析莎翁的独特的社会秩序观入手 ,进而揭示它与莎士比亚戏剧创作之间的关系 ,可以深入而全面地理解莎翁内心丰富的精神世界提供一条思路。
