莎士比亚与普希金的《鲍里斯·戈都诺夫》

Shakespeare and Pushkin’s Boris Godunov

莎士比亚对普希金等俄国作家的影响颇深,其原因不仅源于其所塑造的丰满生动的人物形象饱含着作家对人性的深刻洞察与反思,更是源自其博大的人文主义情怀及对人民性与民族性的把握与呈现。正是在莎士比亚的影响下,普希金最终形成了自己的文化历史观与人民性思想,推进了俄国文学向近代化与民族化的转型。上述影响集中体现在普希金的代表作之一、俄国第一部民族悲剧《鲍里斯·戈都诺夫》之中。

Russian writers such as Pushkin were deeply influenced by Shakespeare, the reason lies not only in the full and vivid characters with the author’s profound insights and reflections on human nature in his works, but also in his deep understanding of humanism and precise thematic presentation of the affinity to people and the national traits. Under Shakespeare’s influences, Pushkin eventually formed his own conception of culture and history and then his ideology of national character, promoting the transformation of Russian literature to modernization and nationalization. The influences above mentioned,are all reflected in one of Pushkin’s masterpieces,Boris Godunov, which is also considered as the first tragedy in Russia.
