摘要
一般认为,《柯利奥兰纳斯》的悲剧主要由主人公极度骄傲和暴躁的性格所导致,也因为这样的性格与剧中的罗马民主产生了直接而强烈冲突,而柯利奥兰纳斯的引狼入室行为更使他的“叛国”罪名铁定无疑。从剧本所表现的罗马民主的体制、实体、内容和实际运行等方面入手,分析平民、护民官和柯利奥兰纳斯本人在这一表面看来事关维护还是践踏民主的冲突中各自的角色和行为性质,以揭示这场悲剧的更深层的意义。
Shakespeare＇ s Coriolanus is generally considered an Aristotelian tragedy about the downfall of an extremely arrogunt man who turns from a state hero to a traitor. This essay argues that due attention should be paid to the role of the two tribunes whose professional skills in manipulating public attitude toward Coriolanus contributes much to the tragedy, which calls for further consideration for issues in Roman democracy and the role of the citizens in democratic system.
