摘要
本文对美国作家约翰·厄普代克的<〈哈姆莱特〉前传>中的王子形象、女性视角中的王子复仇的涵义及其与身体政治价值取向之间的关系作了详尽的分析与阐释.这一切都是在与莎士比亚的<哈姆莱特>剧本的对比中进行的.本文以为,厄普代克对王子形象的解构与重构并不纯然是他个人的选择,而是后现代文化语境中将感性生命置于抽象伦理观念之上的必然结果.这种全新的展示带有极大的暧昧性,既表现了复仇事件的复杂性,也使人们在价值评判中陷于困惑.
The paper focuses on a detailed analysis of the configuration of Hamlet, his revenge in the feminist perspective, and the relation with body politics in Updike's latest novel, Gertrude and Claudius. This is conducted by means of a comprehensive comparison with Shakespeare's play. And, the deconstruction and reconstruction of the image of Hamlet are not merely out of Updike's personal preference, but out of the priority of life over ethical codes in postmodern context. Updike's attitude in treating Hamlet and his revenge is ambiguous, which both gives expression to its complexity, and puzzles readers in ethical judgements.
