摘要
关于莎士比亚,博尔赫斯写过小说《莎士比亚的记忆》以及三篇随笔《什么都是和什么都不是》《威廉·莎士比亚〈麦克白〉》《从有名分到无名分》。在博尔赫斯的想象中,莎士比亚既是一个实体,又是一种意象。莎士比亚作为一个实体,博尔赫斯肯定莎士比亚的存在,并赞赏莎士比亚的艺术,包括语言特质、艺术虚构、艺术上的信服力。作为意象的莎士比亚,一方面是一种共有的文化符号,另一方面莎士比亚指代文本,在读者介人莎士比亚的过程中,两者相互作用,并且读者一方具有了创造性,反过来又塑造了自我。另外,莎士比亚也成了博尔赫斯审视自身的参照,莎士比亚不仅是莎士比亚自己,也是博尔赫斯^博氏用莎士比亚来表达对清晰自我的渴望。
Borges creates a short story"Shakespeare's Memory",and three essays"Everythingis Nothing","William Shakespeare's Macbeth","From title to no title".Shakespeare is both an entity and an imagery in Borges'imagination.Shakespeare as an entity,Borges affirms the existence of Shakespeare and emphasizes Shakespeare's art,including language traits,artistic fiction,and artistic convictions.Shakespeare as a kind of image is a kind of common cultural symbol.On the other hand,Shakespeare refers to the text.In the process of the reader's involvement in Shakespeare,the two interact,and the reader has creativity,which in return shapes the self.In addition,Shakespeare has also become a reference substance for Borges to examine himself.Shakespeare is not only Shakespeare himself,but also Borges.He uses Shakespeare to express his desire for clear self.
