摘要

这篇文章探讨了这样一种观点,即《提图斯·安德罗尼科斯》的怪诞结局——特别是剧中作为提图斯晚宴上演的那一部分——借鉴了罗马帝国讽刺中关于罗马和礼仪的思想。《提图斯·安德罗尼库斯》第五幕中的食人宴会旨在违反贺拉斯在《诗歌艺术》中关于“Thyestes盛宴”不应以与喜剧相称的方式上演的言论。为了将不雅作为腐败的指标进行探索,该剧奇怪的结局利用了罗马讽刺的一般资源,尤其是朱维纳尔和佩修斯,因为这些帝国时代的作家都认为自己是不雅的、后贺拉斯时代的。提图斯用他的晚宴来讽刺他已经认识到腐败的罗马习俗,作为主持人,他将罗马讽刺对食物、烹饪和晚宴的痴迷再现为隐喻和背景。在这样做的过程中,提图斯将食人和后霍拉时代的非礼之间的联系文字化,这在《波斯》中是象征性的。

Titus’s Revenge and/as Imperial Roman Satire
This essay explores the idea that the grotesque denouement of Titus Andronicus—and specifically that portion of the play staged as Titus’s dinner party—draws upon ideas about Rome and decorum from imperial Roman satire. The cannibal banquet in Act 5 of Titus Andronicus is designed to violate Horace’s remarks from the Ars Poetica about how ‘the feast of Thyestes’ should not be staged in a manner commensurate with comedy. In keeping with its exploration of indecorum as an index to corruption, the play’s weird denouement makes use of the generic resources of Roman satire, and especially of Juvenal and Persius, since each of these imperial-era writers positons themselves as indecorous and post-Horatian. Titus uses his dinner party to satirize Roman mores that he has come to recognize as corrupt, and as host he re-enacts Roman satire’s obsessive interest in food, cooking, and the dinner party as both metaphor and setting. In doing so, Titus literalizes a link between cannibalism and post-Horatian indecorum that is figural in Persius.
