Abstract

The paper deals with the concept of space in William Shakespeare’s “The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark”. Not only is the play the most popular and the most internationally known creation of William Shakespeare, but it also attracts readers and critics for its complexity and up-to-datedness. We chose to analyse various aspects of space in this tragedy to underline their influence on different characters. The paper aims at proving that there is a relation between each character and a particular space whose features are partly reflected in the characters’ personality or/and actions. Therefore, the main characters were analysed in connection with the spaces they appear in throughout the play. We were also interested in analysing whether the characters have the necessary power and/or ability to change these spaces, or not. We noticed that some of the characters had their spaces invaded by perpetrators, while other characters became perpetrators themselves. Observing the link between spaces and the characters' personality, we tried to scrutinize their deeds based on the features of certain spaces emphasizing aspects such as: private vs. public, natural vs. artificial.
威廉-莎士比亚《丹麦王子哈姆雷特的悲剧》中的空间
本文论述了威廉-莎士比亚的《丹麦王子哈姆雷特的悲剧》中的空间概念。该剧不仅是威廉-莎士比亚最脍炙人口、最广为人知的作品,还以其复杂性和与时俱进性吸引着读者和评论家。我们选择分析这部悲剧中空间的各个方面,以强调它们对不同人物的影响。本文旨在证明每个人物与特定空间之间的关系,这些空间的特征部分反映在人物的性格或/和行为中。因此,我们将主要人物与他们在全剧中出现的空间联系起来进行分析。我们还有兴趣分析剧中人物是否拥有改变这些空间的必要权力和/或能力。我们注意到,一些角色的空间被施暴者入侵,而另一些角色自己也成为了施暴者。通过观察空间与人物性格之间的联系,我们试图根据某些空间的特征来审视他们的行为,强调的方面包括:私人空间与公共空间、自然空间与人造空间。
