” 但与《哈姆雷特》中的克劳狄斯和《奥塞罗》中的伊阿古不同,麦克白在剧本的开端并非以一个十恶不赦的恶徒形象出现在观众面前,相反他是一个忠于君主,受人们爱戴的将军,而麦克白由一个忠诚的勇士变为一个罪恶累累的暴君,正是显示了人性在欲望诱使之下走向磨灭的过程。

Being alien to Claudius in Hamlet弗洛伊德的精神分析理论西格蒙德·弗洛伊德(Sigmund Freud)Austrian['?stri?n] psychologist 三个女巫的出现和她们的语言点燃了麦克白心中的欲望而当他面对正义justice和罪恶无从选择的时候他的妻子进一步唤醒了他心底的欲望使他渐渐地走向罪恶, 麦克白不断的被“本我征服最终变成了“本我的俘虏Three witches’ prophecies ignited Macbeth’s desire primarily, and then Lady Macbeth fuelled it. Confronting with justice and sin, his careerism pushed him into the evil abyss.Sigmund Freud split the human psyche ['sa?k?] into three parts: the Id, Ego and Super-Ego. 西格蒙德·弗洛伊德将人的精神分为三个部分:本我,自我和超我。

Shakespeare uses Macbeth to show the terrible effects that careerism and guilt can have on a man who lacks strength of character. We may classify Macbeth as irrevocably evil, but his weak characterseparates him from Shakespeare’s great villains—Iago in Othello, Richard III in Richard III, Edmund in King Lear—who are all strong enough to conquer guilt andself-doubt. Macbeth, great warrior though he is, is ill equipped for the psychic consequences of crime.“四大悲剧”一般被认为是莎士比亚戏剧创作的顶峰——忧愁王子哈姆雷特的复仇;常胜将 In his four great tragedies,军奥赛罗的深情善妒;悲情李尔王游走孤单的迟暮之旅;麦克白野心贪求非份的富贵权位。

麦克白简介
女巫的第二个预言又应验了:麦克白成为苏格兰国王。麦克白开始忧虑著 Banquo 的子孙会成为国王的预言。麦克白向他的夫人透露,为了稳坐王位,他决定于宴会上杀死 Banquo 及他的儿子。麦克白夫人着魔似地欢欣起舞(歌曲:“La luce langue”)。 在城堡外,一群杀手伺机刺杀前来赴宴的 Banquo 及其儿子。Banquo 似乎意识到大祸将至,他满心忧虑地唱着“Come dal ciel precipita”。Banquo 遇刺身亡,但他的儿子侥幸逃脱。 在地堡的殿堂上,麦克白迎接宾客,麦克白夫人唱着“Si colmi il calice”。手下向麦克白报告 Banquo 已经被杀,当麦克白返回餐桌的时候,看到 Banquo 的冤魂正正坐在自己的坐位上。麦克白慌乱不已,陷入疯狂。宾客以为国王疯癫了,仓皇离开。
第1幕
故事发生于11世纪的苏格兰。Macbeth(麦克白)及 Banquo 战胜归来,经过战地旁的树林时遇到3个女巫。第一个女巫称呼麦克白为葛莱密斯领主(Thane of Glamis),第二个女巫称麦克白为考特爵士(Thane of Cawdor),第三个女巫称他为苏格兰国王;班柯虽然不能当统治者,但他的后人会成为国王。女巫预言后随即消失。 这个时候,国王 Duncano 的信差抵达,宣布考德的领主因叛国被处死,国王颁令麦克白继任。女巫的第一个预言应验了。 在麦克白的城堡内,麦克白夫人读著丈夫的来信,信中谈到有关遇到女巫的事。她的野心勃勃,决定不惜一切要扶助丈夫登上王位(歌曲:“Vieni! t'affretta!”)。国王宣布他会在麦克白的城堡过夜。麦克白夫人怂恿她丈夫乘机弑君篡位。 国王及贵族成员到临,国王入睡。麦克白在夫人的催逼下,杀死了国王(歌曲:“Mi si affaccia unpugnal?”)。麦克白感到非常害怕,陷入失控状态。麦克白夫人不齿麦克白的懦弱,冷静地为事件善后,她将国王的血涂在熟睡中的守卫身上,并将凶刀留给他们,企图嫁祸给守卫。 翌日,Macduff 揭发凶案。城堡内所有人,包括麦克白夫妇,这时候一同唱和,请求上帝为国王报仇(歌曲:“Schuidi, inferno, ...”)。

麦克白英文分析

麦克白英文分析

麦克白英文分析第一篇:麦克白英文分析The tragedy of MacbethIt’s well known that William Shakespeare is a famous and great dramatist who has wrote many splendid dramas.If someone ask us what his four tragic dramas are,we may blurt out Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth without hesitation.All of the works could show Shakespeare’s great achievement in writing.I’m sure that most people are familiar with the classic sentence “T o be or not to be, that’s a question” from Hamlet.The tragedy of Macbeth was the last tragic drama of four, which was wrote in 1606.It represented the tragedy of destiny and man’s character.The story was happened in Scotland and England.The leading character was named Macbeth who was regarded as a hero of Scotland by people after beating King Norway’s army for defending Scotland, and King Lear wanted to give him rich awards and great honor.But it was sad that in the meantime Macbeth came across three ugly witches in the wild who attempted wickedly to tempt Macbeth to commit.They told Macbeth he would be The Thane of Cawdor soon and the king of Scotland eventually, but the bad thing was it was his friend Banquo’s sons, not his sons, who would be the king of Scotland after Macbeth.At the beginning, Macbeth thought this was unbelievable and felt really confused.Before long King Duncan sent his nobleman Angus and Lennox to transmit his order that Macbeth was to be ennobled as The Thane of Cawdor soon.Obviously,Macbeth was so surprised and excited that he1 held the foolish view that the three witches’ prediction was true.Hence he wrote a letter to tell his wife what the three uglywitches had said to him and they premeditated to kill King Duncan to displace him.Perhaps it was a wrong coincidence that King Duncan and his servants went to Macbeth’s castle for a rest one night.Therefore,Macbeth got a good chance to rebel.The couple inebriated the two gatekeepers in King Duncan’s room and killed King Duncan noiselessly with their swords in the midnight.When the morning awaked the people in the castle,everything surely been known in a little time.Macduff, the nobleman of Scotland, was the first who found King Duncan being killed.To conceal the truth, Macbeth made people mistakenly think that King Duncan was killed by the two gatekeepers and killed them immediately without asking others.Soon after Macbeth been the king of Scotland successfully, but he also worried about what the three witches had told him.So he must kill his friend Banquo and Banquo’s sons to guarantee his sons would be the king after him.One night his conspiracy succeeded again, Banquo was killed by Macbeth’s flunky.But as an old saying goes“What is done by night appears by day.”Some people including Macduff gradually doubted that Macbeth was the rebel who killed King Duncan to usurp the power.As a loyal nobleman of King Duncan, he absconded to England secretly to find Prince Malcolm, King Duncan’s son.While Macbeth known it, hewas so angry that killed Macduff ’s son and wife cruelly.Macduff arrived in England successfully and found the prince, because of their great effort, they smoothly got the help from England kingdom and organized a strong army back to Scotland to defeat Macbeth.But at this emergency moment, Macbeth still firmly believed what the three ugly witches had said to him“Macbeth shall never be vanquished until Great Birnamwoods move to high Dunsinane hill.Shall come against him.”“Be bloody, bold, and resolute, laugh to scorn the power of man,for none of woman born shall harm Macbeth.”So as we can imagine where the miserable thing would go to next.With a strong hatred, Malcolm and Macduff decided to launch an attack against Macbeth near Birnam woods finally.In order to mistake the enemy, Malcolm commanded the soldiers to cut down the tree branches to hide themselves.Just as the three witches had said before,the Birnam woods moved by soldiers’ hands.What’s worse,Macduff said he was from his mother’s womb untimely ripped(it means Macduff wascaesarian rather than born normally by his mother)Until now, Macbeth known his serious fault, what a cruel, greedy, foolish man he was and deeply regretted his former actions.As we can expected,Macbeth been killed by Macduff finally and Malcolm as his father King Duncan became the king of Scotland.As far as I am concerned, the tragedy of Macbeth mostly causes byhis wild careerism.No matter how the three cunning witches bewitch his mind,how mightily his wife encourages him to rebel.If he contents with what he has got from the King Lear and has a thankful heart to keep conscience, everything will be much different.It is normal for us to pursue power, but what we should remember in our hearts is never be excessive.Macbeth has to make mistakes one after another to make up for what he does before.Therefore,he gradually kills more and more people, actually he is often afraid of what he has done.Maybe after Adam and Eve eating the fruits on the tree of good and evil, human can’t avoid making mistakes.From the drama we can see William Shakespeare character Macbeth in humanisticperspective.Macbeth is a full man not only should not be simply identified as a bad person, but also somewhat an innocent man who can arouse our sympathy.Although he kills many people,at least, for a long time he have grilled his conscience.In the end,due to his wild careerism keeps going on, what waits for him is finally finding being cheated by the three witches and lose his precious life sadly.第二篇:麦克白英文读后感The great writer Maxim Gorky once said: “the book is the ladder of h uman progress.” indeed reading can cultivate sentiments, reading can broaden our horizons, the book from the ocean for drip sentiment, hone their own, improve oneself, one of Shakespeare's four tragedies“ Mike white” rich life philosophy, I see Mike White's tragedy, also discusses the social tragedy.In sixteenth Century in England, all kinds of social contradictions increasingly apparent, the war with France, Scotland and Spain strained relations, chaotic, and relaxation, financial constraints, the price expensive, particularly troublesome is the sharp religious sect conflict, from the physiocracy to mercantilism market economy transition and because the enclosure movement caused serious the refugee problem in social environment, extreme individualistic malign expand, and the author for the “ good” the harmony between person and person, love, peace, human nature and moral responsibilities of the ideal life is completely draw further apart, in Mike White's era, society is not peaceful, although he and Norway did not openly joint, but his treason felony is his own confession, and have proved, that he ruined.Mike white superego attempts and self-indulgent, magnifying self realization value, and finally to torture yourself, self-reflection sin means to achieveself salvation of soul and self purification.Right desire driving force the binding is often greater than the superego, Mike white and lose all standing and reputation, but bring trouble to oneself, not to accept the influence of witch.But she is a bad fall into a wrong path, murder is Mike white, who was the victim of Duncan became Mike white killings direct accomplice, direct reasons, forced Mike to white Dutch act other than, but Duncan himself.If Duncan is not on the issue of succession to Mike white with a desperate fight Gong Yan, not before leaving their action for Mike white manufacturing attack conditions, Mike white and the witch is incapable of action, and Mike white lady represents the most arrogant character in Mike white, the hardest part of it, she can do to kill their sons and daughters, so cruel extreme means to confirm Mike white the murder was determined, Mike White's tragic fate already cannot avoid.In to help her husband to usurp the throne in the process, she showed a strong will, strong personality, calm mind, extraordinary talent and courage, in lust with love, she would love to return for the desire for power, showing how she cruel and inhuman.Many reasons lead to the Mike White's murder, step by step toward the abyof evil, witch, ghosts and gods, dark fantasy, Mike White gave himself up completely at the mercy of supernatural inextricably bogged down in, show Strong fatalism, man's fate seemed entirely in the hands of the nether world, but also by the desire for power completely devoid of human ambition.The tragedy of the entirety is not limited to personal destiny, but the feudal ruling clainner palace struggle, the common law court contradiction, the author reveals the desire to destroy the power at the same time, the profound description of the tyrant, the tyranny of the destruction, to the society, the people have brought disaster, it shows thepeople of disaster, the ill-fated, through bold revealed miserable, Horror Picture of society and social atmosphere to reflect the essence of the times, the author exposes extreme individualism and the life path of anti-humanity, anti human essence, also criticized the existing in the real world of lust, affirmed the humanist principle of beneficence, affirmed the conscience, revealing ambition and love be irreconcilable opposed to, the feudal autocratic monarchy, strongly condemned the tyranny of the autocrat and traitor to the people, people have the right to overthrow the tyranny of affirmative, have the right to destroy thetyrant, the authors advocate the principle of beneficence, call and affirmed the “ conscience”, points out that ambition with benevolence be irreconcilable opposed to, love is human nature, cruel against humanity, he once for the ideal fight, just because the ideal ambition to become metamorphic for most evil murderer, with Mike white as a representative of the feudal ruling clain the pursuit of power The extinction of human brutality careerist.His tragedy reflects the personal ambition infinite development inevitable result, the social attributes of the decision.In between man and nature, people are afraid of the mystery of nature and immense power, only to follow nature 's mercy, to jump out the nature of the palm.Desire is terrible, if not restrained, it will make a person become the villain, which leads to the small self destruction, will harm the country and the people.So we college students to do some meaningful things by their example of discrimination, to better improve themselves, not on the basis of previous more corrupt.We are influenced by the higher education.From various points of view, we are soberly aware.In the era of the development of our speciality, for nationalconstruction makes contribution.Promote positive advanced thought, in twenty-first Century, the real college students style let the world praise.第三篇:麦克白英文简介和读后感Abstract And Reviews of MacbethAbstract:Macbeth begins as the heroic warrior who, together with Banquet, fights loyally in support of his king against rebels.Upon returning from his victory, Macbeth and Banquet encounter the three witches, who prophesy that Macbeth shall be thane of Cawdor, and king hereafter, and that Banquet’s children will succeed him on the throne.As Macbeth knows nothing of Cawdor’s part in the rebellion, the prophecies a re incredible to him.However, with the first prophesy immediately confirmed be emissaries from Duncan, king of Scotland, Macbeth’s blood-thirsty ambition has been greatly stirred up by the witches’ miraculous prophesy.And when Duncan is on a visit to his castle, Macbeth, who is spurred on by Lady Macbeth, takes the chance to have the King murdered.But Macbeth soon finds that one crime is not enough to keep the crown for him.To keep his crown, he abandons reason to mindless savagery and plunges from covert to open slaughter.He murders Banquet and kills Mac duff’s wife and children and others.Thus, Macbeth has degenerated into a tyrant and mass murderer.While Macbeth flails about him, killing suspected as well as herself, in her sleep, hag-ridden by horror and remorse.Finally she commit herself suicide.Macbeth also experiences a kind of mental disturbance, haunted by the involved all the people of Scotland who are groaning under his yoke and longing for liberation.When the opposing forces march forward, the people eagerly join them infighting against the tyranny.In the closing scene, Macbeth’s isolation becomes complete.As his castle is surrounded, Macbeth is reduced to a trapped animal and meets his final doom.Malcolm wins the kingship.Reviews:After learning this drama during this semester, I learn a lot.And here I have some points to talk about.The first one is that I am very impressed by the wittiness of Duncan’s two sons, Malcolm and Dona Bain.When their father is murdered, the situation is a chaos.They don’t know who the murderer is and what their intentions are.They realize that they may be also in danger, as Dona Bain says to Malcolm: “What should be spoken here, where our fate, hid in an auger-hole, may rush, and seize us? Let’s away;our tears are not yet brew’s.” So when Macbeth suggests all meet in the hall together, Malcolm says that”let’s not consort with them” and he goes to England and Dona Bain to Ireland.As we can see, if they don’t flee, they may become the next persons to die, especially Malcolm, who is named by the king the Prince of Cumberland and will inherit the kingship after his father.As the old saying goes, revenge is a dish that should be eaten cold(君子报仇,十年不晚).The fact also proves that they make the right decision.Several years later, Malcolm comes back, fights with Macbeth and gains the kingship.What I want to say is not that we should revenge our enemies, but that we should keep in reason, keep calm.Think twice before you jump, especially in emergencies and disorders.Anot her point I’d like to talk about is the relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.At the very beginning, we can see that they have a very good relationship.Before he comes back home, Macbeth has already send a letter home to Lady Macbeth to tell her the success of the war and the three witches’ prophesy.WhenMacbeth hesitate if murder Duncan or not, Lady Macbeth scolds him as coward.All these indicate that they are in a good relationship.After Duncan is killed, in order to clear the way to become the king, Macbeth plans to kill Banquet and his son.But he doesn’t tell his wife.Their relation is going badly.We can infer that Macbeth doesn’t tell Lady Macbeth his plan to kill Mac duff’s wife and children either.Because in Act Ⅴ Scene Ⅰ, when Lady Macbeth is sleep walking, she says: “The Thane of Fife had a wife: where is she now?”And finally when his wife is dead, he is very cold, just saying: “she could have died hereafter;there would have been a time for such a word.” How comes a loving couple of the old d ays becomes strangers!It’s the blood-thirsty ambition that counts.From this, I learn that sometimes ambition is not a good thing.And if you have a proper ambition, such as becoming a champion in a competition or getting the highest score in an exam, you should get it through proper means, such as practicing a lot and study hard but not through cheating.Also, I learn that wife is an important role in a family.She should always lead the husband to go the right way to get the right thing.Otherwise, she could be the one who is hurt mostly.第四篇:麦克白读《麦克白》有感女巫甲:万福,麦克白!祝福你,葛莱密斯爵士!女巫乙:万福,麦克白!祝福你,考特爵士!女巫丙:万福,麦克白,未来的君王!祸从口出,悲剧就在这预言中开始了。

These crafty(狡猾的) women use female methods of achieving power—that is, manipulation(操纵)— to further their male ambitions. Women, the play implies, can be as ambitious and cruel as men, yet social constraints(社会约束) deny them the means to pursue these ambitions on their own.
“Macbeth” is one of the William Shakespeare „s four great tragedies. It‟s the shortest of Shakespeare„s tragedy .It is also his most popular works.

读书笔记
戏剧式的对话太夸张了,也许是境界没有达到吧……为了看不眠之夜硬是囫囵吞枣看完了。 因为要帮女儿应对英文作业而突击读完这部悲剧,人物关系,故事情节太简单,舞台上的戏剧效果应该更好 看些吧。 我是只能看懂故事了深究是深究不来了。 莎士比亚的作品必须是人到中年时才能深入品味的。 女巫就像是人内心黑暗贪婪的借口,一旦信了恶魔,自己也成了恶魔,正如麦克白杀邓肯,班柯,贵族全 家……将一辈子受到良心折磨,诚如麦克白夫人本来是罪恶的怂恿者,最终却难以忍受罪孽而自杀。 作为莎士比亚最恐怖的戏剧,它的恐怖不仅在于在舞台上的表演,更恐怖在人心。 这是我第一本完整读过的莎翁的书,是被年少时对“经典”的固有偏见耽误了。荣华富贵权力地位,终究是 世俗之物,内心的安宁才是最珍贵的。

自19世纪起,同《哈姆雷特》、《奥赛罗》、《李尔王》被公认为是威廉·莎士比亚的“四大悲剧”。

【作者简介】威廉·莎士比亚(William Shakespeare,1564-1616年),欧洲文艺复兴时期英国最重要的作家,杰出的戏剧家和诗人。

他创作了大量脍炙人口的文学作品,在欧洲文学史上占有特殊的地位,被喻为“人类文学奥林匹斯山上的宙斯”。

他亦跟古希腊三大悲剧家埃斯库罗斯(Aeschylus)、索福克里斯(Sophocles)及欧里庇得斯(Euripides),合称为戏剧史上四大悲剧家。

他的作品几乎被翻译成各国的文字,代表作有《罗密欧与朱丽叶》《哈姆雷特》《麦克白》《李尔王》《奥赛罗》《威尼斯商人》《驯悍记》等。

马克思称他为“人类历史上最伟大的天才之一”,恩格斯盛赞其作品的现实主义精神与情节的生动性、丰富性。

【内容梗概】苏格兰国王邓肯的表弟麦克白将军,为国王平叛和抵御入侵立功归来,路上遇到三个女巫。

女巫对他说了一些预言和隐语,说他将进爵为王,但他并无子嗣能继承王位,反而是同僚班柯将军的后代要做王。

麦克白是有野心的英雄,他在夫人的怂恿下谋杀邓肯,做了国王。

为掩人耳目和防止他人夺位,他一步步害死了邓肯的侍卫,害死了班柯,害死了贵族麦克德夫的妻子和小孩。

恐惧和猜疑使麦克白心里越来越有鬼,也越来越冷酷。

麦克白夫人精神失常而死,麦克白无一丝难过。

在众叛亲离的情况下,麦克白面对邓肯之子和他请来的英格兰援军的围攻,落得削首的下场。

麦克白一出场即心怀异志,弑王篡位,为了巩固王位,又残暴屠杀人民,使全国血流成河,置社会于混乱,陷人民于水火,可谓与理查三世是同样的暴君。

这样的暴君,其痛苦与覆亡乃罪有应得。

【角色介绍】Macbeth(麦克白):作为邓肯国王的一个首席将军和最亲近的军事顾问,麦克白在三个女巫预言和他妻子的阴谋的驱使下做出邪恶的行动。

麦克白简介

麦克白简介

麦克白关于与“麦克白”同名的其他主题,详见“麦克白(消歧义)”。

1884年美国某剧院麦克白的公演海报《麦克白》(Macbeth)是莎士比亚最短的悲剧,也是他最受欢迎的作品。

此部作品经常在世界各地的专业和社区剧院上演。

这出戏剧是典型的因权力的渴望而背弃朋友的故事。

它大致根据苏格兰哲学家赫克托·波伊斯的《苏格兰国王麦克白》而写成。

波伊斯在文中奉承了其赞助人(patron)的祖先苏格兰国王詹姆士六世,也就是英格兰的詹姆士一世,并且歪曲贬低了现实中苏格兰国王麦克白的行为与事迹。

《麦克白》拥有不少“道德剧”(morality play)的特征。

学者因其中支持詹姆士一世掌权,普遍认为它是一出典型地写于Jacobean(詹姆斯一世)时代的戏剧,大概写成于1606年。

不少证据显示现有的文字曾被托马斯·米德尔顿修改。

米德尔顿从他自己的剧作The Witch(1615年)加入了不少在原作颇受欢迎的段落,如女巫和赫卡特的那一场。

这些修改(整个第三幕第五场,及部分第四幕第一场)一般而言也被收录。

舞台上,因麦克白夫人的情绪起伏多变,很多人都认为那是最难演的女性角色之一。

很多演员都认为此剧会带来不幸,因此一般会迷信地称之为“那出苏格兰剧”而不会直呼其名。

有时候,剧中主角亦会被称为Mackers与Lady Mackers。

在剧院中提起此剧的名字据说会使制作失败,也可能导致演员受伤。

麦克白中,“魔法是否存在”,以及“女巫们是真的未卜先知,还是只操纵了麦克白的思想、使其把邓肯和班柯杀死”,都成为了不少人的疑问。

∙∙∙∙∙∙《麦克白》中的一个场景,威廉·瑞莫(en:William Rimmer)所绘开场时,三位女巫(亦称“忠实姊妹”)正讨论她们将与麦克白见面的事。

苏格兰王邓肯的两位将军:葛莱密斯勋爵麦克白与班柯,刚刚与挪威及爱尔兰两军合力击退了以麦克唐华德为首的叛军对苏格兰的入侵。

当二人走进石南树丛,三位女巫以预言迎接他们。

Macbeth
Macbeth is a play written by William Shakespeare. It is considered one of his darkest and most powerful tragedies. The play dramatizes the corrosive psychological and political effects produced when evil is chosen as a way to fulfil the ambition for power. It’s Shakespeare’s shortest tragedy. Shakespeare's source for the tragedy is the account of King Macbeth of Scotland, Macduff, and Duncan in Holinshed's Chronicles, a history of England, Scotland and Ireland, although the events in the play differ extensively from the history of the real Macbeth.
2. Fortune, Fate, and Free Will
Fortune is another word for chance. The ancient view of human affairs frequently referred to the "Wheel of Fortune," according to which human life was something of a lottery. One could rise to the top of the wheel and enjoy the benefits of superiority, but only for a while. With an unpredictable swing up or down, one could equally easily crash to the base of the wheel. Fate, on the other hand, is fixed. In a fatalistic universe, the length and outcome of one's life (destiny) is predetermined by external forces. In Macbeth, the Witches represent this influence. The play makes an important distinction: Fate may dictate what will be, but how that destiny comes about is a matter of chance (and, in a Christian world such as Macbeth's) of man's own choice or free will. Although Macbeth is told he will become king, he is not told how to achieve the position of king: that much is up to him. We cannot blame him for becoming king (it is his Destiny), but we can blame him for the way in which he chooses to get there (by his own free will).

Protagonist Robinson was born in an affluent family, but he decided to abandon the cozy comfort of family life, willing to associate with the waves, to realize their dreamof sailing. He navigation has been to London, we visited Africa, also visited Brazil, where they had been hijacked by pirates made slaves, But finally saved. In a quick access to the navigation Africa, there was great turmoil, the boat capsized, only Robinson survived, Fugue to a deserted island, thus beginning his 28 years of island life. Desolation in the lonely wasteland, with the courage to take risks Robinson, the courage to create a pioneering spirit alone with a difficult fight, finally regain freedom. Serious lack of substance in the wasteland, Robinson used his hands to build housing, Gracilaria ballet, clothes, utensils and other living necessities. He captive wild animals, many planted crops. Finally, he was originally a deserted island in the construction of the beautiful and fertile, and their plight has not been overwhelming. Instead of letting off on the livingRobinson Crusoe is a novel by Daniel Defoe. It was first published in 1719 and sometimes regarded as the first novel in English. The book is a fictional autobiography of the title character, an English castaway who spends 28 years on a remote tropical island near Venezuela, encountering Native Americans, captives, and mutineers before being rescued. This device, presenting an account of supposedly factual events, is known as a "false document" and gives a realistic frame story.The story was likely influenced by the real life Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway who lived four years on the Pacific island called Más a Tierra (in 1966 its name was changed to Robinson Crusoe Island), Chile. However, the details of Crusoe's island were probably based on the Caribbean island of Tobago, since that island lies a short distance north of the Venezuelan coast near the mouth of the Orinoco river, and in sight of the island of Trinidad.[1] It is also likely that Defoe was inspired by the Latin or English translations of Ibn Tufail's Hayy ibn Yaqdhan, an earlier novel also set on a desert island.[2][3][4][5] Another source for Defoe's novel may have been Robert Knox's account of his abduction by the King of Ceylon in 1659 in "An Historical Account of the Island Ceylon," Glasgow: James MacLehose and Sons (Publishers to the University), 1911Wuthering Heights Published in 1847, WUTHERING HEIGHTS was not well received by the reading public, many of whom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnatural--and author Emily Bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure. It was not until 1850, when WUTHERING HEIGHTS received a second printing with an introduction by Emily's sister Charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership. And from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back. Today it is widely recognized as one of the great novels ofEnglish literature. Even so, WUTHERING HEIGHTS continues to divide readers. It is not a pretty love story; rather, it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caught up in obsessive love that turns to dark madness. It is cruel, violent, dark and brooding(令人郁闷), and many people find it extremely unpleasant.And yet--it possesses a grandeur of language and design, a sense of tremendous pity and great loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written. The novel is told in the form of an extended flashback. After a visit to his strange landlord, a newcomer to the area desires to know the history of the family--which he receives from Nelly Deans, a servant who introduces us to the Earnshaw family who once resided in the house known as Wuthering Heights. It was once a cheerful place, but Old Earnshaw adopted a "Gipsy" child who he named Heathcliff. And Catherine, daughter of the house, found in him the perfect companion: wild, rude, and as proud and cruel as she. But although Catherine loves him, even recognizes him as her soulmate, she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station. She instead marries another, and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all. WUTHERING HEIGHTS is a bit difficult to "get into;" the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting. But they feed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way, setting the stage for one of the most remarkable structures in all of literature, a story that circles uponitself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations. Catherine and Heathcliff are equally remarkable, both vicious and cruel, and yet never able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally one may wound the other. As the novel coils further into alcoholism, seduction, and one of the most elaborately imagined plans of revenge it gathers into a ghostly tone: Heathcliff, driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who seems reflected in every part of his world--dragging her corpse from the grave, hearing her calling to him from the moors, escalating his brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade, so that she may never leave his mind until death itself. Yes, this is madness, insanity, and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond. It is a stunning novel, frightening, inexorable(无情的), unsettling, filled with unbridled passion that makes one cringe(因恐惧而畏缩). Even if you do not like it, you should read it at least once--and those who do like it will return to it again and again.。
