摘要
莎士比亚创作的第一部复仇悲剧《泰特斯·安德罗尼克斯》被认为有多个素材来源,其中最重要的来源有古罗马诗人奥维德的《变形记》、古罗马悲剧家塞内加的悲剧《提埃斯忒斯》,以及畅销故事《泰特斯·安德罗尼克斯悲剧史》等。单从创作素材的角度看,莎士比亚不属于原创性的作家,但却是能在改编中匠心独运、推陈出新、后来居上的独一无二的巨擘。他不仅在极端情境中塑造出了像泰特斯、艾伦这样颇具审美价值的性格鲜明的人物典型,而且赋予了悲剧远超一般流血复仇剧的隽永深刻的政治寓意。该剧流露出了作者对王位继承、君王德能等王权政治问题的严肃思考,对冤冤相报思想的否定倾向以及对仁爱、宽恕与和平的深沉呼唤与强烈憧憬。
Titus Andronicus,the first revenge tragedy attributed to Shakespeare,is considered to have multiple sources.Among the principal ones are Metamorphoses by the ancient Roman poet Ovid,Thysestes by the ancient Roman tragic writer Seneca and the best seller The Tragical History of Titus Andronicus.From the sheer perspective of writing material,Shakespeare is not an original writer.However,he can be accounted as a unique giant who made adaptation with ingenuity,brought forth the new out of the old and surpassed his predecessors.In the extreme acme,Shakespeare not only created typical characters with sharp features and aesthetic value like Titus and Allen,but also successfully embedded the meaningful and profound political implications far beyond the common bloody revenge drama.In this tragedy he reflected his serious thinking on royal political problems,such as kingship inheritance and the king’s virtue and competence,revealed his negative tendency on successive revenge,and suggested his deep call and strong longing for benevolence,forgiveness and peace.
