戏剧赏析：《哈姆雷特》
(1)莎士比亚的剧作，写于1601年，是莎翁的四大悲剧之一，约在1603年首演。莎士比亚(1564～1616)，文艺复兴时期英国伟大的诗人、剧作家，文艺复兴文学集大成者。
(2)《哈姆雷特》取材于《丹麦史》、《悲剧故事集》和一个失传的哈姆雷特旧剧。故事讲述了在国外求学的丹麦王子哈姆雷特因父亲暴猝回国奔丧，见叔父克劳狄斯已经登上王位，娶了母后，极其悲愤忧郁。此时，父亲的亡灵向他揭露克劳狄斯毒死自己并篡位的真相，哈姆雷特在复仇的过程中痛苦挣扎，他的忧郁使弛对人生对现实产生困惑、无法解脱，他背负着复杂的使命和混乱的人生，人生的矛盾使弛痛苦，他的痛苦扰乱了罪恶的王宫，使世界陷入死亡与不安之中，最后，在濒死之际奋力一剑刺死了克劳狄斯国王。
(3)此剧中的鬼魂申冤、主人公复仇、戏中戏和流血凶杀的结局等，都属复仇悲剧的传统手法，但作品在人物塑造和思想内容的开掘上取得了极高成就。哈姆雷特身上集中体现着文艺复兴运动中人文主义者的优点和缺点及他们的迷惘、矛盾和痛苦。也是世界文学中不朽的典型形象，传达了莎翁的人文主义精神和对现实生活的批判。

My boyfriend really enjoyed canoeing (划独木舟), and it took me a while to finally persuade himto take me on a canoe trip. Despite his great skill, he was nervous about my safety and described manyterrible situations that could happen. "They could also not happen," I said. I wanted to prove that I wastough and capable of adventuring.?
This would be a romantic adventure. We would row the canoe on the lake under a beautiful bluesky. I was confident it would all go according to plan.?
It did not go as planned. Instead,?it all went downhill. We hit a headwind (逆风). The flies werethe worst. An unknown animal outside our tent in the night forced us to get up twice to scare it away.We walked through knee-deep mud; we moved around so many fallen trees that we lost the wayfrequently. We had an unexpected thunderstorm on our second night. We hid in our tent from the bugs(虫子), too tired and bitten to even hold each other. When we were finally back in the car, my skinwas hot and angry with bug bites, I had barely slept in 72 hours and I had an injury on my forehead fromhitting it on the canoe.?
Yet I realized that I wanted to do it all again. Because I swam in a lake so warm it felt like asummer pool. ?I ate lunch on an island with the most beautiful pine trees. ?I' d also never beforeappreciated how thunder can make the ground tremble. I know why my boyfriend loves canoeing somuch. It' s for the challenge, the space, and the beauty of moving forward with your own two hands ina place of natural wonder. He didn' t say "I love you. " He said I was a good partner. I' ve foundsomething that I really like to do. That' s the more important thing.?
