Abstract

This article discusses the clowning element of a German version of Hamlet believed to date back to the time of Shakespeare. Der bestrafte Brudermord is noted as an adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy which incorporates a lot more low comedy than any extant version of Hamlet and provides opportunity for contemplating the reason why Hamlet has no explicit clown character. The article focuses especially on a character appearing very briefly in the German play, a rustic buffoon called Jens, and his affinity with the rustics and comic servants of other Shakespeare plays and other Elizabethan plays. It is particularly asserted that this role shows signs of the involvement of the clown Will Kemp at some stage of the writing of Hamlet, or of touring continental Europe with an adaptation of it that puts the clowning element at the forefront.
埃尔西诺的丹麦傻瓜?
这篇文章讨论了被认为可以追溯到莎士比亚时代的德国版《哈姆雷特》中的小丑元素。《悲惨的布鲁德莫德》被认为是莎士比亚悲剧的改编版,它比现存的任何版本的《哈姆雷特》都融入了更多的低级喜剧,并为思考《哈姆雷特》为什么没有明确的小丑角色提供了机会。这篇文章特别关注在德国戏剧中短暂出现的一个角色,一个叫延斯的乡村小丑,以及他与其他莎士比亚戏剧和其他伊丽莎白戏剧中的乡村和喜剧仆人的亲密关系。有人特别断言,这个角色显示了小丑威尔·肯普在《哈姆雷特》写作的某个阶段参与的迹象,或者是在欧洲大陆巡回演出时,把小丑元素放在了最前沿。
