摘要
莎士比亚的历史剧《理查二世》对理查二世命运的叙述涉及到宗教改革后欧洲社会的一个争论焦点:面对暴政,臣民是否有权抵抗乃至废黜君主。此问题关乎对君权的合法性的起源的认识。该剧通过理查与波林勃洛克之间的权力斗争,揭示出莎士比亚时代英国国教与天主教及清教等宗教派别之间的君权观念之争,即专制主义的君权神授教义、绝对服从教义与立宪主义的契约论、抵抗理论之间的争论。此外,该剧也反映出置身于伊丽莎白时代晚期政治思想背景中的英国民众对暴政所持有的矛盾态度。
In the narration of the fortune of Richard Ⅱ,Shakespeare's history play Richard Ⅱ touches upon the argument about whether subjects have rights to resist or depose the monarch while facing tyranny. The question is one of the central issues in postReformation Europe which relates to the origin of the legitimacy of kingship. By narrating the contend for power between Richard and Bolingbroke,the play reflects the debate on kingship among Anglicanism,Catholicism and Puritanism,ie.,between absolutism( the doctrine of divine right of kings and the doctrine of absolute obedience) and constitutionalism( the contract theory and the resistance theory) during Shakespeare's time. The play reflects English people's contradictory attitudes towards tyranny in the background of the political thoughts of the late Elizabethan age.
