发生的一切事情都是有其意义。但是,能够全部都 注意到的人却只是及其少数。“在每天发生的全部事情中 找出所有的意义”这种事情,先想想就让人头疼。但是, 如果能注意到这个事情是不是有什么意义的话,“注意到” 这个行为本身就有它的意义。我认为正是去思考“为什么” 才会有意义。一切被各种各样的事情所引导着,但是,没 有注意到的时光已经不会再回来了。

作品简介
《仲夏夜之梦》是威廉·莎士比亚青春时代最后一部也 是最为成熟的喜剧作品,同时也是威廉·莎士比亚最著名 的喜剧之一。 整部戏剧情调轻松,总的来说就是一个“乱点鸳鸯谱” 的故事。剧中有穿插了小闹剧当作笑料,即众工匠为婚礼 所排的“风马牛不相及”的喜剧以及排戏经过。这部戏剧 没有什么深远的社会意义与内涵。它所包含的,只是纯净 的快乐,仿佛是一部戏剧的狂欢,中间也掠过一丝爱情所 固有的烦恼,但亦是加以欢乐化、喜剧化的。
经典语录
对于被给予东 西,必须付出相 应的代价,不能 给予太多,也不 能夺取太多,不 多不少,对等的, 均等的,否则会 造成伤害。
你并不只属于自己, 在这世上,没有任何一 斤东西是只属于某个人 的。每个人都与他人交 融,彼此共享一切。因 此,世上才不会有真正 的自由。正因如此,这 个世界才会既充满了欢 笑,有充满了悲伤,才 会如此可爱。

sleepless-a midsummer night's dream中文-回复《暑夜梦》是威廉·莎士比亚的一部经典喜剧戏剧,其中展现了爱情、欢愉与迷失。

本文将以《睡不着的夜晚》为主题,探讨该戏剧中的情节、人物以及其深层意义,以及对当代读者的启示。

《睡不着的夜晚》的故事发生在古雅典森林中,涵盖了几个相互交织的情节线。

最引人注目的是四位年轻爱情痴迷的死:赛麗亚,这本中国文化中的角色进行了翻译,希尔博,赛麗亚的可怜追求者;开伦塔斯和戴米特里斯,赛麗亚的崇拜者,他们之间的追求具有挑衅性;以及赛麗亚的朋友海勒娜,她爱上了开伦塔斯,但不如戴米特里斯受欢迎。

所有这些角色都会在森林中相互追逐、迷失和背叛,导致一系列令人发笑的混乱和误解。

首先,让我们看看睡不着的夜晚的情节。

这是一部特征显著的莎士比亚喜剧,充满了误解、混乱和幻想。

舞台上同时发生的情节有:赛麗亚和海勒娜的友谊与背叛,赛麗亚对希尔博的拒绝,海勒娜的恋爱和希尔博变得柔软。

但最引人注目的情节是某个上层世界的仙境,由仙女和波洛获得统治权。

这时,喜剧的一个主要主题是爱情的容易迷失和捉摸不定。

其次,我们来看看《睡不着的夜晚》中的人物。

这部戏剧有一个丰富多样的人物群体,每个人物都有独特的性格和目标。

赛麗亚是一个明智的年轻女子,她坚决拒绝了希尔博的追求,坚信自己会得到戴米特里斯的爱。

希尔博是一个笑料人物,经常引人发笑,但他的一片真诚感动了观众。

开伦塔斯是有权势的,他追求赛麗亚,但最终爱上了她的朋友海勒娜,最后又因为魔法而恢复了原状。

海勒娜是一个坚定而忍耐的角色,虽然经历了许多挫折,但她在最后获得了自己的幸福。

最后让我们来探讨《睡不着的夜晚》的深层意义。

这部戏剧中有很多复杂的主题和象征。

爱情是其中一个关键主题,展示了其美妙和复杂性。

戏剧还暗示了人类经常在爱情中迷失和混淆的现象,同时也展示了人性中的缺陷和奇异之处。

莎士比亚通过这个故事揭示了社会和人类动机背后的玄奥和混乱,向我们展示了情感和人性的复杂性。

A Midsummer Night

A Midsummer Night

A Midsummer Night's Dream奚彦超二班3号20081115610044A Midsummer Night's Dream is a play that was written by William Shakespeare. It is believed to have been written between 1590 and 1596. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and the Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of amateur actors, who are manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. The play is one of Shakespeare's most popular works for the stage and is widely performed across the world.The play features three interlocking plots, connected by a celebration of the wedding of Duke Theseus of Athens and the Amazonian queen, Hippolyta, and set simultaneously in the woodland, and in the realm of Fairyland, under the light of the moon.In the opening scene, Hermia refuses to follow her father Egeus's instructions to marry Demetrius, whom he has chosen for her. In response, Egeus quotes before Theseus an ancient Athenian law whereby a daughter must marry the suitor chosen by her father, or else face death. Theseus offers her another choice: lifelong chastity worshiping the goddess Diana as a nun.Meanwhile, Oberon, king of the fairies, and his queen, Titania, have come to the forest outside Athens. Titania tells Oberon that she plans to stay there until after she has attended Theseus and Hippolyta's wedding. Oberon and Titania are estranged because Titania refuses to give her Indian changeling to Oberon for use as his "knight" or "henchman," since the child's mother was one of Titania's worshipers. Oberon seeks to punish Titania's disobedience, so he calls for his mischievous court jester Puck (also called "Hobgoblin" and "Robin Goodfellow") to help him apply a magical juice from a flower called "love-in-idleness," which when applied to a person's eyelids while sleeping makes the victim fall in love with the first living thing seen upon awakening (due to the god of love, Cupid, shooting a love arrow at a virgin queen but it, being deflected off a moon beam, flew into a patch of flowers, where the love potion, contained within the arrow, drained into the flowers, giving them their powers). He instructs Puck to retrieve the flower so that he can make Titania fall in love with the first thing she sees when waking from sleep, which he is sure will be an animal of the forest. Oberon's intent is to shame Titania into giving up the little Indian boy. He says, "And ere I take this charm from off her sight, / As I can take it with another herb, / I'll make her render up her page to me."Having seen Demetrius act cruelly toward Helena, Oberon orders Puck to spread some of the magical juice from the flower on the eyelids of the young Athenian man. Instead, Puck mistakes Lysander for Demetrius, not having actually seen either before. Helena, coming across him, wakes him while attempting to determine whether he is dead or asleep. Upon thishappening, Lysander immediately falls in love with Helena since he is still under the influence of the flower. Oberon sees Demetrius still following Hermia and is enraged. When Demetrius decides to go to sleep, Oberon sends Puck to get Helena while he charms Demetrius' eyes. Upon waking up, he sees Helena. Now, both men are in pursuit of Helena. However, she is convinced that her two suitors are mocking her, as neither loved her originally. Hermia is at a loss to see why her lover has abandoned her, and accuses Helena of stealing Lysander away from her. The four quarrel with each other until Lysander and Demetrius become so enraged that they seek a place to duel each other to the death to prove whose love for Helena is the greatest. Oberon orders Puck to keep Lysander and Demetrius from catching up with one another and to remove the charm from Lysander, so that he goes back to being in love with Hermia.Meanwhile, a band of six lower-class labourers ("rude mechanicals", as they are described by Puck) have arranged to perform a play about Pyramus and Thisbe for Theseus' wedding and venture into the forest, near Titania's bower, for their rehearsal. Nick Bottom, a stage-struck weaver, is spotted by Puck, who (taking his name to be another word for a jackass) transforms his head into that of a donkey. When Bottom returns for his next lines, the other workmen take one look at him and run screaming in terror. Determined to wait for his friends, he begins to sing to himself. Titania is awakened by Bottom's singing and immediately falls in love with him. She lavishes him with attention, and presumably makes love to him. While she is in this state of devotion, Oberon takes the changeling. Having achieved his goals, Oberon releases Titania, orders Puck to remove the donkey's head from Bottom, and arrange everything so that Hermia, Lysander, Demetrius, and Helena will believe that they have been dreaming when they awaken. The magical enchantment is removed from Lysander, leaving Demetrius under the spell and in love with Helena.The fairies then disappear, and Theseus and Hippolyta arrive on the scene, during an early morning hunt. They wake the lovers and, since Demetrius does not love Hermia anymore, Theseus overrules Egeus's demands and arranges a group wedding. The lovers decide that the night's events must have been a dream. After they all exit, Bottom awakes, and he too decides that he must have experienced a dream "past the wit of man". In Athens, Theseus, Hippolyta and the lovers watch the six workmen perform Pyramus and Thisbe.The play is badly performed to the point where the guests laugh as if it were meant to be a comedy, and afterward everyone retires to bed. Afterward, Oberon, Titania, Puck, and other fairies enter, and bless the house and its occupants with good fortune. After all other characters leave, Puck "restores amends" and reminds the audience that this might be nothing but a dream (hence the name of the play).During the years of the Puritan Interregnum when the theatres were closed (1642–60), the comic subplot of Bottom and his compatriots was performed as a "droll". Drolls were comical playlets, often adapted from the subplots of Shakespearean and other plays, that could be attached to the acts of acrobats and jugglers and other allowed performances, thus circumventing the ban against drama.When the theatres re-opened in 1660, A Midsummer Night's Dream was acted in adapted form, like many other Shakespearean plays. Samuel Pepys saw it on 29 September 1662 and thought it "the most insipid, ridiculous play that ever I saw ..."After the Jacobean/Caroline era, A Midsummer Night's Dream was never performed in its entirety until the 1840s. Instead, it was heavily adapted in forms like Henry Purcell's musical masque/play The Fairy Queen (1692), which had a successful run at the Dorset Garden Theatre, but was not revived. Richard Leveridge turned the Pyramus and Thisbe scenes into an Italian opera burlesque, acted at Lincoln's Inn Fields in 1716. John Frederick Lampe elaborated upon Leveridge's version in 1745. Charles Johnson had used the Pyramus and Thisbe material in the finale of Love in a Forest, his 1723 adaptation of As You Like It.In 1755, David Garrick did the opposite of what had been done a century earlier: he extracted Bottom and his companions and acted the rest, in an adaptation called The Fairies. Frederic Reynolds produced an operatic version in 1816.It is unknown exactly when A Midsummer Night's Dream was written or first performed, but on the basis of topical references and an allusion to Edmund Spenser's 'Epithalamion', it is usually dated 1594 or 1596. Some have theorised that the play might have been written for an aristocratic wedding (for example that of Elizabeth Carey, Lady Berkeley), while others suggest that it was written for the Queen to celebrate the feast day of St. John. No concrete evidence exists to support either theory. In any case, it would have been performed at The Theatre and, later, The Globe. Having achieved his goals, Oberon releases Titania and orders Puck to remove the ass's head from Bottom. The magical enchantment is removed from Lysander but is allowed to remain on Demetrius, so that he may reciprocate Helena's love. The fairies then disappear, and Theseus and Hippolyta arrive on the scene, during an early morning hunt. They wake the lovers and, since Demetrius doesn't love Hermia anymore, Theseus over-rules Egeus's demands and arranges a group wedding. The lovers decide that the night's events must have been a dream. After they all exit, Bottom awakes, and he too decides that he must have experienced a dream "past the wit of man."In Athens, Theseus, Hippolyta and the lovers watch the mechanicals perform "Pyramus and Thisbe." It is ridiculous and badly performed but gives everyone pleasure regardless, and after the mechanicals dance a Bergomask(rustic dance), everyone retires to bed. Finally, as night falls, Oberon and Titania bless the house, its occupants, and the future children of the newlyweds, and Puck delivers an epilogue to the audience asking for applause.ReferencesShakespeare, William (1979).
