从《哈姆雷特》探析莎翁的女性观

在英国文学史上,莎士比亚被誉为文艺复兴时期的巨人和世界戏剧史上的泰斗。与同时代的其他作家相比,莎翁尤其擅长刻画女性形象。莎士比亚在创作哈姆雷特时的确是尽了他最大努力去真实地反映生活,但其所生活的历史时代及其在时代影响下形成的个人性别立场决定了他的男权视角。正是那个时代对女性狭隘的认识,以及莎士比亚作为男人这一事实本身,使哈姆雷特中的女性形象不可避免地遭到了限制、贬低,乃至歪曲。当我们怀着继承与批判的精神分析哈姆雷特中的女性形象时不难发现,她们身上深深地烙着时代印迹及莎翁自身情感的流露。

On Shakespeare's Feminist View from Hamlet

Inthe history of British literature,William Shakespeare was praised as the giant of the Renaissance and history of the world dramas. Compared with the other dramatists,Shakespeare was much better at portraying the female images. When creating Hamlet,Shakespeare indeed tried his best to reflect the life truly,but the historical times he lived in and the personal sex standpoint producing under the influence of the times decided his view of male power. It is just the times in which females were realized narrowly and the fact that Shakespeare was a man that the female images in Hamlet suffered inevitably limitation,depreciation and even distortion. Once we analyze the female images in Hamlet with the spirit of succession and criticism,we can find that they have already been stamped deeply with times and natural flow of Shakespeare's own emotion without any difficulty.
