“个人-社会”二元框架及其局限——论伊格尔顿对《冬天的故事》的解读

The Dualistic Framework of "Individual-Society" and Its Limitations——on Eagleton’s Interpretation of The Winter’s Tale

伊格尔顿认为个人与社会是辩证的统一体,个人行为、个人关系、个人生活都会牵扯到社会的方方面面。莎士比亚最后的喜剧,都可放置到'个人—社会'这个二元框架下进行分析,剧中的主题、对立关系都是'个人—社会'的统一体。但他对'社会'的定义,本质上没有超越王权政治的范畴;分析时忽略了莎剧中平民社会的存在,他的阐释更多的是自身理念的表达。

Eagleton believed that the individual and the society are the dialectical unity,the individual behavior,the individual relations,the individual life will involve each aspect of society.The last comedies of Shakespeare can be analyzed under the dualistic framework of'individual-society'.The themes and antagonistic relations in the play are the unity of'individual-society'.However,his definition of'society'does not intrinsically exceed the scope of kingship politics.The analysis ignores the existence of the civilian society in Shakespeare’s plays,and his interpretation is more about the expression of his own ideas.
