Abstract

Abstract:In All’s Well That Ends Well, Helen announces a possible pregnancy: it proliferates interpretations and cannot be confirmed or disproven. Recognizing Helen’s pregnancy as possible makes retroactively evident the play’s fracturing patriarchal power structure, impotent model of cultural reproduction, and recursive temporality. Helen and Bertram face an excess of parental figures, biological and surrogate, who trouble familial roles and interrupt the patrilineal inheritance they advocate. Lineal descent and linear time intertwine and preclude them from copying their elders or inaugurating a new generation to produce stability. Shakespeare dangles biological reproduction as a panacea but permanently defers it.

可能怀孕和一切顺利的不确定结局

摘要:在《皆大欢喜》中，海伦宣布了一个可能怀孕的消息，这一消息引发了各种各样的解释，无法证实或反驳。认识到海伦的怀孕是可能的，追溯性地证明了戏剧中支离破碎的父权结构、无能的文化再生产模式和递归的暂时性。海伦和伯特伦面临着过多的父母角色，亲生的和代理的，他们扰乱了家庭角色，打断了他们所倡导的父系遗传。直系血统和线性时间交织在一起，阻止了他们复制长辈或开创新一代来创造稳定。莎士比亚把生物繁殖当作万灵药，但却永远地推迟了它。

期刊介绍： SEL focuses on four fields of British literature in rotating, quarterly issues: English Renaissance, Tudor and Stuart Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century, and Nineteenth Century. The editors select learned, readable papers that contribute significantly to the understanding of British literature from 1500 to 1900. SEL is well known for thecommissioned omnibus review of recent studies in the field that is included in each issue. In a single volume, readers might find an argument for attributing a previously unknown work to Shakespeare or de-attributing a famous work from Milton, a study ofthe connections between class and genre in the Restoration Theater.
