Last time I just gave a brief introduction to the Shakespearean play, today we will go further to discuss tog

15、ether how to understand a Shakespearean play. The most obvious way to begin an interpretation of a Shakespearean play is by evaluating the characters.(1)Any play involves characters in a particular setting, doing particular things.(2)The plot will develop a conflict, which will usually inflict pain

16、or distress on some people, and will lead to a final resolution of sorts in which some characters may die or be punished severely, while other characters survive or triumph or get substantially rewarded.(3)Hence, one clear entry into such a work is to put the characters on trial: Who is good? Who is

17、 bad? Why do certain people act in certain ways? Do any of the characters change? Where are my sympathies as I make my way through this play? As an interpreter, I am, in essence, the judge, and how shall I apportion my verdicts? Interpreting a play by analyzing the characters in it, judging them, an

18、d coming to some final evaluation of them is a natural way to approach Shakespeare for three main reasons. The first is that these are plays, and they inevitably feature active characters more or less recognizably like people around us.(4)That, indeed, is the chief appeal of the genre.(5)So it is en

19、tirely natural to treat the play as we treat life itself, by responding to the people we see, the actions they carry out, the words they use, and the decisions they make. On the basis of these observations we will come to some conclusions about their characters and will discuss the play in those ter

20、ms. (6)The second reason is that Shakespeare is famous, more than anything else, for his astonishing ability to create interesting, complex, and natural characters. Unlike many other dramatists whose characters do not invite very complex investigation, Shakespeare has the ability to fill a play with

21、 scores of characters,(7)each of whom talks in a language and acts in a way which indicates a sharply focused individual personality with a very particular response to experience. Hence, it is, once again, natural to treat them as fully realized people whose conduct requires an evaluative judgment.

22、Then, too, the fact that we are dealing with plays always keeps the approach through character analysis alive,(8)because theatre productions depend on individual actors, and individual actors need to reflect upon the motivations for their characters. They have to, in a sense, discover their human qu

23、alities and become the stage people whose lives they enact. Thus, the dramatic tradition of continuing to mount Shakespeare productions ensures that the analysis of character will remain a powerful force in the interpretation of the plays. The third major reason why character analysis is an importan

24、t approach to Shakespeares plays is that Shakespeares characters are often intrigued or puzzled by their own characters. That is, they may make their characters part of the dramatic “problem“ of the fiction we are exploring. When, for example, Hamlet or Macbeth or Othello starts to wrestle with his

25、character, trying to understand his motivation, feelings, and actions, that moment places the nature of the character as an essential element in the work. In other words,(9)the plays themselves put character analysis directly on the table. The approach to a Shakespeare play which places the analysis

26、 of character at the centre of the process was particularly strong in the nineteenth century, and(10)the literary interpretations from that period often illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of that approach.(11)The great value of character analysis is that it always reminds us that, whatever else

27、 we may want to talk of, the central concern is particular human beings. Whatever else King Lear is about, it is centrally about a suffering old man, whose unique character brings upon him almost unimaginable suffering. Whatever we make of Hamlet, we cannot forget that the people in the play drive O

28、phelia insane and lead her to suicide, and that she is an innocent and loving young woman.(12)Focusing upon the characters in the play always keeps us in touch with a major reason why Shakespeare matters his works constantly illuminate human nature in all sorts of moving ways. That said, however, tr

29、eating the interpretation of a play as primarily a matter of evaluating character can create problems.(13)One major problem, of course, is that in many instances we do not know enough about a character to arrive at a sufficiently full understanding of his or her personality. We know almost nothing o

30、f Hamlets childhood, or Bolingbrokes inner thoughts, or Lady Macbeths sexuality.(14)Thus, key elements required in any full character analysis are missing.(15)Of course, we can speculate on such matters, but such speculations can often end up in inconclusive and often trivial debates, because there

31、is not enough evidence. So we can find criticism by the analysis of character degenerating into explorations of the girlhood of Shakespeares heroines, endless arguments about whether or not the Macbeths had any children, how old Hamlet might be or whether he is really insane or not, whether Falstaff

32、 is a coward or not, how black Othello really is, or what Antony and Cleopatra really talk about when they are alone together. Shakspearean plays are great inheritance as well as wealth for the humankind. The characters in his plays give us lots of insights to know and to talk with Shakespears soul.

Donny Deutsch says the key to success was asking one simple question of himself “ Why not me?“(2)Now the advertising expert offers up his winning formula in his first book, “ Often Wrong, Never in Doubt, Unleash the Business Rebel Within“.

42、ce to see you. M: Good to see you. W: Why not me? How did you come up with that? M: Every time Ive met a successful person in business or president of the United States, just somebody whos made it to the very important position, I always notice that beyond the obvious toolbox of being bright and har

43、d-working, they almost all take the naive sense of entitlement of: Why shouldnt I be the president of the United State? Why shouldnt I be the anchor of Todays Show? And until you say that, that next level can not have it. It doesnt mean that youre guaranteed,(3 - 1)but if you dont believe it, if you

44、 dont feel entitled, it isnt going to happen. W: You write about this a lot in the book.(3-2)Its all about confidence. M: Yes.

I mean if you dont believe in yourself, nobody else is going to, but at the same time, you know the title of the book is “Often Wrong, Never in Doubt“. W: Right. So where did the confidence come from? Who instilled that in yo

46、u? M: You know the bottom line is its OK to fail, and you have to embrace failure.

W:

47、Wait. Just now you talked about the genius, and you dont think you meet people who are smarter than you? M:(4)I think a lot of people are smarter. But Ive still yet to meet a genius one.
