文摘Topology,as a geometrical branch,studies spaces,whose essence lies in its topological equivalence.As far as literary criticism is concerned,the author’s writing purpose can be regarded as an open set in topology,which contains a number of different topological spaces.No matter how these spaces transform,they remain fundamental properties as long as their essence is invariant.From the perspective of topology,Shakespeare constructed three equivalent metaphorical topological spaces:one-pound-flesh agreement,marriage casket“lottery”,and wedding ring trick.The present paper purports to explore how Shakespeare constructed the three equivalent topological spaces to express the theme of literature:the ubi sunt1 motif of life philosophy.
