not just their time and attention, but their hearts and souls as well. I would like to thank the following people for their dedication and contribution, without which the path to the finishing line would have been a whole lot more bumpy. 21527
I am really lucky enough to meet such helpful persons, especially my supervisor, Ms.Yujing, who has generously shared her inspirational and provocative ideas during many of our face-to-face discussion sessions. I will never forget that she has spent much of her precious time for me in reading and revising my paper—paragraph by paragraph. Thank her very much indeed.
I also wish to thank other respectable professors and teachers at the School of Foreign Languages, from whom I have benefited quite a lot from their great personality as well as their excellent teaching during my four years’ collegiate study.
Abstract
William Shakespeare is commemorated as one of the greatest playwrights that the world has ever produced. During his lifetime, he was prolific, contributing a great number of masterpieces which have been well respected around the world. This thesis conducts a literary appreciation of The Tempest, one of his important romantic dramas.
This paper focuses on the analysis of the major theme expressed in the work, namely, the conflicts between virtues and vices of human natures. To this end, the thesis starts with a discussion on the humanist views of the dramas. It argues that Shakespeare was a true humanist, expressing his views of humanism in his treatment of storytelling of the drama. It then moves on to the inherent conflicts of human nature, with a focus on the co-existence and tension of both virtues and evil found in human nature, very often in the same character. The thesis finally elucidates the linguistic expression of the major theme. It mainly argues that The Tempest stands out as a representative work by William Shakespeare in demonstrating the major themes through various means such as character construction, plot setting, and language devices. It is concluded that the Tempest stands out one of the most representative works by the great playwright in exposing the conflicts between the bright and the dark sides of human nature.
Key words: Shakespeare, The Tempest, virtues and vices, conflict
摘要
莎士比亚是世界上最伟大的剧作家之一。他是一个多产的作家，一生中给世人留下了受人尊敬的丰富多彩的杰作。本篇论文从文学的角度对莎士比亚最重要的浪漫主义戏剧—《暴风雨》进行鉴赏。
论文重点对于作品中表达的主题进行剖析，即人性的善与恶的冲突。为了阐述其人性的主题，本文从戏剧的人文主义观点展开争论；文章认为莎士比亚是一位真正的人本主义者，他运用故事的叙述手法来表达他的人文主义观点。接着转向对人性的内部冲突的剖析，针对同一人物，重点在对人性善与恶的共生和两者之间的矛盾进行剖析；最后从语言学的角度对主题进行了阐述。本英文剖析的一个重点就是：为何《暴风雨》能超越其它作品作为莎士比亚的代表作之一，这主要在于莎士比亚能通过使用多样化的诸如虚幻的人物、情节创设、语言描写等手法来表现主题。在披露人性的光明和黑暗，善与恶两者之间冲突作品中，《暴风雨》不失为莎士比亚最具代表性的作品之一。
