摘要

虽然唐纳德·特朗普不再是美国总统，但他仍然抢了现任政府的风头。借用乔尔·艾略特·斯洛特金(Joel Elliot Slotkin)的概念，他的“邪恶美学”似乎可以与莎士比亚的同名国王理查德三世(Richard III)进行比较，后者巧妙地利用独白和旁白，将观众和读者吸引到他邪恶的阴谋和交易中。唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)也通过Twitter做到了类似的事情，他不断在Twitter上发表恶毒的评论和侮辱，让他的粉丝和对手都参与进来。这种戏剧性的技巧也被拿来与职业摔跤中恶棍的“热度”相比较，后者的受欢迎程度取决于他们能制造多少仇恨。

Naked Villany: The Fatal Attraction of Richard III and Donald Trump

Although no longer American President, Donald Trump still manages to upstage the current administration. An explanation for his “sinister aesthetics”, to use Joel Elliot Slotkin’s concept, can be seemingly found in developing a comparison with the eponymous king of Shakespeare’s Richard III, who masterfully employs soliloquies and asides to draw the audience and reader into his evil plots and dealings. Donald Trump also managed something similar by means of Twitter, constantly tweeting out vicious comments and insults, which kept both his followers and opponents engaged. This theatrical skill is also compared to the ‘heat’ generated by villains in professional wrestling, whose popularity is marked by how much hatred they can produce.
