哈姆雷特1996

Finally finishing the classes of [Knowing Shakespeare's Hamlet from the aspects of National Security and geopolitical] by Mike after about two months time.

Hamlet is really a classic masterpiece not only in England or Europe but also for students who are not native English speakers to know this charming language, not just as a tool, but a beautiful and interesting way of telling a good story which we r not familiar with.

Just like [A Dream of Red Mansions] in China, every time we read it, we would find something new in it and symbolic meanings of the real world. For example, the equality of people from different classes, genders, and also who have different pursues. I believe that there’s sth that we need to perceive beyond the political system in Ancient China, and just a family drama.

However, in Hamlet, it’s more like a geopolitical issue that I knew almost nothing before. According to what Mike discussed with us, the main question in this play is about a final and deep question ‘who has the right to define who as an enemy of the people?’ and also who is neutral, who is the friend or the leader of the people?

Hamlet has the power in law after his father’s dead, while Claudius had the power of military and finally became the new king. Characters like Claudius, Hamlet’s mother, Fortinbras and so on can be really political symbols in this famous play and can be found in the real world which similar things are happening around us(for example some political events in CHN). About the weakness of human beings, the great eager of owning power, murders, revenge……

However, Hamlet can be a really special person in this play as a people who are uninterested in power, in politics. He gave the whole country to Fortinbras which could not be analyzed as the modern country sovereignty issue, but his individual mind, like ‘he want to be a prince like Fortinbras but he could not and did not have the ability to be.’

So the ‘TO BE OR NOT TO BE’ question can be about the choice of ‘let me revenge’ or ‘let me just sleep and ignore it’, related to Hamlet’s individual ideology.

Shakespeare once wrote that ‘there are a thousand hamlets in a thousand people's eyes.’ Many people do not like the results of Hamlets or the character of Hamlet itself. I really believe that each audience can be a co-author of literary works.

So nowadays it would probably be more appropriate to say "there are a thousand hamlets on a thousand stages" as audiences are able to enjoy numerous different adaptations of Shakespeare's plays around the world.

That’s also why I believe that [HAMLET FOREVER].

第一，悲剧。如此迂腐的丹麦贵族，死了还不知道波斯人来袭，内讧。第二，开始的神化肯定是假象，哈姆雷特那几个人肯定是知道先王的死因，以至于后来哈姆雷特出现幻觉，估计也是装疯过头了，得害死多少人，仇恨是毒药。第三，词藻。之前看书看不下，只好看看电影，确实话剧的词藻很华丽，果真佩服，过于夸张。 总的而言就是放哪国哪国都有的宫廷剧

四小时确实有点长。看过朱生豪译本，看过现场原声话剧，都不太感冒，不知道此剧有什么经典之处。 真是中有林黛玉，西有哈姆雷特，看到什么都要大发感慨，一长段台词，而且也不觉得台词有多好。不过演员的表演还是挺有看点的。著名的“生存还是毁灭”一段，流放途中一段，被带入戏。改成电影，运用电影的镜头很成功。场面调度和运镜真难。布景、道具的细节也还考究。不经意就发现熟悉的面孔算是彩蛋吧。

这一年，凯特·温斯莱特参演了这部莎翁电影；同一年，大西洋彼岸有一位美国小鲜肉也主演了一部莎翁电影《罗密欧与朱丽叶之后现代激情版》。第二年，两人共同主演的爱情大片席卷全球，赚足眼泪，他们蜚声国际。

1.《哈姆雷特》中有不少独白，这些独白的作用？如经典的“生存还是毁灭”对刻画主人公的形象有什么作用？充满个性，富于表现力。 2.奥菲利亚疯了的时候，唱歌“送花”，“三色堇，茴香和漏斗花，芸香，雏菊，紫罗兰等”是不是也有寓意？ 3.老国王的鬼魂为什么强调“无论你怎样进行复仇，不可对你的母亲有什么不利的图谋，她自会受到上天的裁判”？在哈姆雷特质问母亲情绪激动的时候，鬼魂也出现让他不要伤害母亲。 4.人物台词体现出鲜明的人物性格特征，通过人物语言与行动推动情节的发展，营造出紧张的气氛，具有很强的戏剧效果。

在个性解放，关注“人”这一大背景下，莎士比亚创作出这样一部剧本，表现出理想与现实背后的隐患，《哈姆雷特》正是他对充满隐患和混乱社会的一种审美参照，正是这样，一个艺术人物开始登上世界文学舞台。 哈姆雷特说：那是一个荒芜不治的花园，长满恶毒的秀草”，世界“是一所很大的牢狱”。这些意象象征性地告诉我们，上帝失落了，而魔鬼却活着，世界变成冷酷的世界，变成一个颠倒的时代。这样一个时代的哈姆雷特却是一个处于理想于现实中的矛盾人物形象，是一个人文主义者。这些观点和众多学者是一致的，我以为哈姆雷特作为一个悲剧人物，更有其自身的特点。 哈姆雷特不具备一个王子，未来国王的气度和胆略。哈姆雷特在复仇中一再拖延，错过许多良机，比如在克劳狄斯忏悔的时候，他完全有能力有机会把罪恶的国王杀死，而他却以为克劳狄斯是在向神忏悔，这个时候杀死他不仁慈，会受到神的责怪。这从一个侧面反映了哈姆雷特的人文主义精神，却更能反映他遇事的不果断和缺乏勇气。一个王者通常是不讲游戏规则的，哈姆雷特为他所具的人文气质所害，导致最后悲剧的发生。 哈姆雷特是一个偏激和悲观的人物。他的言行在后来越来越游离于为父复的责任和重新夺取王位的社会责任。在现实的压抑下竟然想到了自杀“早早脱身而去”，“谁愿意负着重担，在烦劳的生命的压迫下流汗？”然而一想到死后不仅要坠入一片虚无的世界，而且灵魂有不得安宁，他在心头又升起对死亡的恐惧。在这样的想法下人就显得十分卑微和不足道，充满了悲观的情绪。 哈姆雷特的内心充满矛盾和斗争。从以上文字中也能看出哈姆雷特心中的这种矛盾心理。在矛盾心理的作用下，使他一次次成为“思想的巨人，行动的矮子”，就是这种心理使得复仇成为泡影。这种矛盾心理让他犹豫和悲观，在一次次机会面前，读者比他还着急。 虽然是以悲剧结尾，但我以为，哈姆雷特的使命已经完成，他可以走了。在最后克劳狄斯设下诡计，企图通过比剑杀死哈姆雷特，但哈姆雷特却杀死了和他比剑之人，并在其临死之前得知剑上有毒，拿起剑来结束了恶魔的生命。这一次，他没有忧郁，没有令所有的人失望，在生命的最后一刻亲眼看到了仇敌的死亡。我以为哈姆雷特之前一直懦弱和犹豫，悲观和偏激，而在临死的时候，他却成功地完成了角色的转变，揣着一个真正王子的梦去了。 哈姆雷特就是这样的一个艺术形象，四百年来任人评说。莎士比亚通过内心冲突个剧情冲突把一个人物推上世界文学舞台，一直受观众和读者的喜爱，言之不尽。在世界文学史上，哈姆雷特这一鲜明、生动的人物形象，在人们心里，已经不朽了。
