"Lear: I prithee, daughter, do not make me mad. I will not trouble thee, my child; farewell. We'll no more meet, no more see one another. But yet thou art my flesh, my blood, my daughter Or rather a disease that's in my flesh, Which I must needs call mine. Thou art a boil, A plague-sore, or embossèd "
"A still-soliciting eye, and such a tongue/
That I am glad I have not, though not to have it/
Hath lost me in your liking."
如果当成讽齐王纳谏来读,就太没趣了。苍老加刑于李尔王,他用暴怒对答。“老”不只是白头,还有失去万千,虚名假意,无非衣装,脱下来吧!残忍的并非双女,是人性之必然,生命至终不过是孤独,风雪夜行人,赤身answer the extremity of skies. 全书是如此晦暗,几乎熬不到结尾那段软语:让我们抽身离这个荒谬无解的世界远远的吧,在误解、死亡和权谋的夹缝里,我们的对视中微弱颤动着爱之弧光。他为永爱咆哮未果,屈身请求一个卑微瞬间,终于获准了。不只死,通向死的路也是苦的,所以降生时提前啼哭起来。无限悲凄收编入最后一句:不要活得那样长了。迪兰托马斯那首诗是为李尔作的吧:Rage rage against the dying of the light.
最简单最真实的一段人性
喜欢啊..
莎士比亚作为人文主义者对人类普遍悲剧的清醒认识
We learn words by rote, but not their meaning; that must be paid for with our life-blood, and printed in the subtle fibres of our nerves.
莎翁太有魅力了,可惜读的很仓促,因为明天就要上课了,希望老师能讲得有意思些。
我觉得Edmund有点像Satan,具有一些个反派魅力。可能作为一个私生子,没有享受到半点正常的爱,死之前才会说:"Yet Edmund was beloved. The one the other poisoned for my sake, And after slew herself".可怜又可恨~
