樂觀主義的悲劇
——《羅密歐與朱麗葉》評論賞析

《羅密歐與朱麗葉》(1595)是莎士比亞(1564—1616)早期創作的著名悲劇。它詩意盎然，熱情充沛，洋溢著濃郁的浪漫氣息和喜劇氛圍。其藝術風格與作家早期創作的大多數喜劇相一致，被人們稱為抒情悲劇。
悲劇的沖突是羅密歐與朱麗葉的戀情與兩個家族間的仇恨和對立，它表現了自由的愛情與封建勢力之間的尖銳的矛盾沖突。故事的發生地維洛那城實際上是英國16世紀末伊麗莎白女王鼎盛時期社會現實的藝術再現。一方面以親王為代表，象徵了王權統一的力量，它受到廣大市民的擁護，另一方面是貴族蒙太古家族和凱布萊特家族世代的積仇結怨，它代表著從
中世紀延續下來的相互爭奪的封建集團的勢力。但時代在前進，這兩大世仇的新一代人竟在一次舞會上一見鍾情，彼此相愛，於是家族的怨仇與個人愛情之間便形成了尖銳、巨大的戲劇沖突。羅密歐與朱麗葉都無視於家族的仇怨，他們輕蔑地覺得，妨礙他們結合的只是枉具虛名的姓氏。朱麗葉曾說：

名字有什麼? 我們叫玫瑰的那種花換成別的名字還不是一樣芬芳。羅密歐要是不叫羅密歐，同樣會那麼可愛完美，這本來和名字沒有關系。羅密歐，拋棄你的名字吧，為了換取跟你本身毫無關系的空名，把我整個兒拿去吧。

羅密歐對於姓氏的態度更為激烈、率直：

你只要把我叫做愛，

我就重新受洗，重新命名，從今以後，永遠不再叫羅密歐。

真正的愛情，使他們變得勇敢而無畏，他們背著父母到勞倫斯神父的寺院里秘密成婚，最後他們為了反抗封建家族勢力和封建的包辦婚姻不惜以死殉情，譜寫了一曲最為悲壯動人的愛情頌歌。

戲劇的結尾，蒙太古和凱普萊特兩家終於因為這對情人的死而拋開舊仇，言歸於好，並且用純金在維洛那為羅密歐與朱麗葉鑄像。這意味著兩個年輕人為之獻身的理想勝利了。他們將成為未來人們的典範。老凱普萊特在痛悔中承認：這對情人是「我們的仇恨的可憐的犧牲品」。然而劇中死去的不止這兩個，牽涉到的也不止這兩家，正像維洛那親王最後說的：「大家都受了懲罰」。但羅密歐與朱麗葉悲慘的死亡，同時又證明了他們所代表的人文主義新價值觀念的勝利，使社會擺脫了無謂的仇恨和紛爭。禍患無窮的世仇消解了，仇人轉變而和好了，在維洛那，人們將從羅密歐與朱麗葉的悲慘故事中學到極為重要的一課：愛情比仇恨更有力，甚至死亡也不能把它摧毀征服。從這個意義上說，《羅密歐與朱麗葉》是一部樂
觀主義的悲劇。

莎士比亞曾明確地稱《羅密歐與朱麗葉》為命運悲劇。但這部作品與莎士比亞以後創作的悲劇有著明顯的不同。它除了強烈的愛戀這單一的情致外，男女主人公並不是像《哈姆雷特》《奧賽羅》《李爾王》等眾多悲劇中的人物那樣處於種種沖突的支配地位，最終造成毀滅性的必然結局。哈姆雷特面對父親的突然死亡，作為人文主義者、王子和兒子的他，必須
承擔的三重使命，又加劇了他性格中的猶豫和彷徨。而克勞迪斯的陰險，狡詐及其所代表的舊勢力的強大，這激烈的外在和內在的沖突，更把年青的哈姆雷特一步步推向無可選擇的必然的悲劇性的結局。而《羅密歐與朱麗葉》的悲劇卻不是這樣，它幾乎都是出乎難以解釋的偶然。里格爾曾明確地說：「在《羅密歐與朱麗葉》里，外在的偶然事故粉碎了精明能乾的
神父的干預，就導致兩位有情人的死亡。」以黑格爾觀點為基礎評論莎士比亞悲劇的布拉雷德也說：「羅密歐與朱麗葉的命運先是向上發展，在他們的結合中達到頂點，然後就因為雙方家族的反對開始衰落。家庭的反對加上偶然事故造成悲劇的結局，但隨即又轉化為由悔恨導致的和解。」仔細研讀劇本，確實如此。羅密歐與朱麗葉相見是偶然：為凱普萊特家族舉
辦的舞會通知貴賓的僕人竟不認識通知單的名字，羅密歐為他念誦時知道了這一消息，為了見到自己迷戀的美人羅瑟琳，羅密歐才決定冒險參加舞會，不想卻見到了嬌美、清純的朱麗葉，兩人一見鍾情，成為悲劇的起因。羅密歐失手殺死朱麗葉的表兄提伯爾特也是偶然：羅密歐的好友茂丘西奧和提伯爾特口角，羅密歐的勸阻，招致提伯爾特的咒罵和挑釁，羅密歐一再退讓，激怒的茂丘西奧和提伯爾特拔劍相擊，被提伯爾特刺死。悲憤的羅密歐沖上拼擊，殺死了提伯爾特，於是被大公判決逐出維洛那城，成為悲劇情節發展的關鍵性的動因。羅密歐最後服毒還是偶然，勞倫斯神父設計朱麗葉服葯昏睡假死，然後送信通知流放的羅密歐，使兩人一起遠走他鄉。但信未送到羅密歐先得到朱麗葉死的傳聞，遂秘密潛回維洛那，勞倫斯神父得知消息後，匆忙趕往墓地，而羅密歐已經進了墓穴，服毒死在即將蘇醒的朱麗葉身邊，這一切成為導致悲劇性結局的最後的直接原因。總之，《羅密歐與朱麗葉》中，是一系列偶然性的情節，使家族的世仇與真摯的愛情構成了矛盾，並不斷地激化著矛盾，使矛盾的解決無法採取圓滿的方式，只能選擇了最後的毀滅。所以這部戲劇留給人們的首先是對於本可避免而又未能避免的悲劇結局的遺憾，是對於殉情所導致的家族和解的欣慰。卻不是像他中期創作的那些著名的悲劇一樣是對於人類社會和人類本性當中的必然性悲劇因素的思考。

創作背景：

莎士比亞生活的時代，義大利和歐洲的許多國家正相繼開展一場思想文化運動，即文藝復興運動。

這期間是歐洲封建社會逐漸解體，資本主義生產方式在封建社會母體內孕育的時期，人文主義是文藝復業時，資產階級反封建斗爭的思想武器，也是這一時期資產階級進步文學的中心思想。其主要內容：

第一，用人性反對神權；

第二，用個性解放反對禁慾主義；

第三，用理性反對蒙昧主義。

其中個性解放是針對封建社會宣揚的禁慾主義，要求勞動人民克制慾望、放棄斗爭、放棄現世的幸福而提出的，它肯定現世生活，認為現世幸福高於一切，人生的目的就是追求個人自由和個人幸福。

莎士比亞的早期作品主要是宣揚這種人文主義思想，《羅密歐與朱麗葉》就是在這一背景下產生的一部具有反封建意識的愛情悲劇。

『玖』 英文簡介《羅密歐與朱麗葉》500字

The play begins with a 14-line prologue in the form of a Shakespearean sonnet. The chorus explains to the audience that the story concerns two noble families of Verona, the Capulets and the Montagues, that have feuded for generations. The prologue also explains that the lovers' tragic suicides "[bury] their parents' strife."

Act I

Romeo and Juliet statue in Central Park in New York City.The action starts with a street-battle between the two families, started by their servants and put down by the Prince of Verona, Escalus. The Prince declares that the heads of the two families (known simply as "Montague" and "Capulet") will be held personally accountable (with their lives) for any further breach of the peace, and disperses the crowd.

Count Paris, a young nobleman, talks to Capulet about marrying his thirteen-year-old daughter, Juliet. Capulet demurs, citing the girl's tender age, and invites him to attract the attention of Juliet ring a ball that the family is to hold that night. Meanwhile Juliet's mother tries to persuade her young daughter to accept Paris' wooing ring their coming ball. Juliet is not inspired by the idea of marrying Paris — in fact, she admits to not really having considered marriage at all. But, being a tiful daughter, she accedes to her mother's wishes. This scene also introces Juliet's nurse, the comic relief of the play, who recounts a bawdy anecdote about Juliet at great length and with much repetition.

In the meantime, Montague and his wife fret to their nephew Benvolio about their son Romeo, who has long been moping for reasons unknown to them. Benvolio promises Montague that he will try to determine the cause. Benvolio queries Romeo and finds that his melancholy has its roots in his unrequited love for a girl named Rosaline (an unseen character). Romeo is infatuated but laments that she will not "ope her lap to saint-secing gold." Perhaps most frustrating to Romeo is the fact that Rosaline "will not be hit with Cupid's arrow/ She hath Diane's wit". In other words, it's not that she finds Romeo himself objectionable, but that she has foresworn to marry at all (she has vowed not to fall in love, and to die a virgin). Despite the good-natured taunts of his fellows, including the witty nobleman Mercutio (who gives his well known Queen Mab speech), Romeo resolves to attend the masquerade at the Capulet house, relying on not being spotted in his costume, in the hopes of meeting up with Rosaline.

Romeo attends the ball as planned, but falls for Juliet as soon as he sees her and quickly forgets Rosaline. Juliet is instantly taken by Romeo, and the two youths proclaim their love for one another with their "love sonnet" in which Romeo compares himself to a pilgrim and Juliet to the saint which is the object of his pilgrimage.

Tybalt, Juliet's hot-blooded cousin, recognizes Romeo under his disguise and calls for his sword. Capulet, however, speaks kindly of Romeo and, having resolved that his family will not be first to violate the Prince's decree, sternly forbids Tybalt from confronting Romeo. Tybalt stalks off in a huff. Before the ball ends, the Nurse identifies Juliet for Romeo, and (separately) identifies Romeo for Juliet.

Act II
Emboldened, Romeo risks his life by remaining on the Capulet estate after the party breaks up, to catch another glimpse of Juliet at her room, and in the famous balcony scene, the two eloquently declare their love for each other. This scene contains arguably the most famous line of Romeo and Juliet, "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" spoken by Juliet to the darkness ("wherefore" means "why" — Juliet is lamenting that Romeo is a Montague, and thus her enemy). The young lovers decide to marry without informing their parents, because they would obviously disallow it e to the planned union between Paris and Juliet, and because they are from enemy families.

Romeo and Juliet by Ford Madox BrownJuliet sends the nurse to find Romeo. Accompanied by one Peter, who carries her fan, the nurse exchanges some spicy insults with the bawdy Mercutio.

With the help of Juliet's Nurse and the Franciscan Friar Lawrence, the two are married that day. The Friar performs the ceremony, hoping to bring the two families to peace with each other through their mutual union.

Act III
Events take a darker turn after that. Tybalt, still smarting from the incident at the Capulets' ball, had previously sent a letter to the Montagues challenging Romeo to a el. Meeting Romeo by happenstance, he attempts to provoke a fight. Romeo refuses to fight Tybalt because they are now kinsmen — although Tybalt doesn't know it, as he doesn't yet know that Romeo has married Juliet. Mercutio, who is also unaware of the marriage, is angered by Tybalt's insolence – and Romeo's seeming indifference – and takes up the challenges himself. Benvolio tries to make peace and reminds everyone of the Prince's decree. In the ensuing swordplay, Romeo attempts to allay Mercutio's anger, momentarily placing his arm around him. By doing so, however, Romeo inadvertently pulls Mercutio into Tybalt's rapier, fatally wounding him. Mercutio dies, wishing "a plague a'both your houses," before he passes. Romeo, in his anger, pursues and slays Tybalt. Although under the Prince of Verona's proclamation Romeo (and Montague and Capulet, as well) would be subject to the death penalty, the Prince instead fines the head of each house, and reces Romeo's punishment to exile in recognition that Tybalt had killed Mercutio, who had not only been Romeo's friend but a kinsman of the Prince. Romeo is then exiled to Mantua after attempting to see Juliet one last time.

Just after Romeo leaves Juliet's bedroom unseen, Capulet enters to tell the news to his daughter that he has arranged for her to marry Paris in three days' time, to console her perceived mourning for Tybalt, although it is in fact Romeo's exile that she mourns. Juliet is unwilling to enter this arranged marriage, telling her parents that she will not marry, and when she does, "it shall be Romeo, whom I know you hate." Capulet flies into a rage and threatens to disown her if she refuses the marriage. The Nurse tells Juliet that she should leave Romeo and just marry Paris, leaving only one person supporting her marriage to Romeo, Friar Lawrence.

Act IV
Juliet visits Lawrence and tells him to either find a solution to her problem or she will commit suicide. Friar Lawrence, being a dabbler in herbal medicines and potions, gives Juliet a potion and a plan: the potion will put her into a death-like coma for "two and forty hours" (Act IV. Scene I); she is to take it and when discovered apparently dead, she will be laid in the family crypt. Meanwhile, the Friar will send a messenger to inform Romeo, so that he can rejoin her when she awakes. The two can then leave for Mantua and live happily ever after. Juliet is at first suspicious of the potion, thinking the Friar may be trying to kill her, but eventually takes it and falls 'asleep'.

Act V

Romeo at Juliet's Deathbed, by Johann Heinrich FüssliThe messenger of Friar Lawrence does not reach Romeo, e to a quarantine. Instead, Romeo learns of Juliet's supposed "death" from his manservant Balthasar. Grief-stricken, he buys strong poison, sometimes held to be aconite, from an Apothecary, returns to Verona in secret, and goes to the crypt, determined to join Juliet in death. There he encounters Paris, who has also come to mourn privately for his lost love. Paris assumes that Romeo has come to defile the Capulets' crypt and challenges him to a el. Romeo kills Paris, and then drinks the poison after seeing Juliet one last time, exclaiming: " O true Apothecary! Thy drugs are quick! Thus with a kiss I die."

At this point Juliet awakes and, seeing the dead, seeks answers. Friar Lawrence arrives, and tries to convince Juliet to come with him, but she refuses. He is frightened by a noise, and leaves Juliet alone in the crypt. The pain and shock of Romeo's death is too much for Juliet, and she stabs herself with his dagger. The two lovers lie dead together.

The two feuding families (except Lady Montague, who had died of grief over her son's banishment) and the Prince converge upon the tomb and are horrified to find Romeo, Juliet, and Paris all lying dead. Friar Lawrence reveals the love and secret marriage of Romeo and Juliet. The families are reconciled by their children's deaths and agree to end their violent feud, as foretold by the prologue. The play ends with the Prince's elegiac lamentation:

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun for sorrow will not show his head.
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punishèd;
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.

《羅密歐與朱麗葉》（Romeo and Juliet）是英國劇作家威廉·莎士比亞創作的戲劇，因其知名度而常被誤稱為莎士比亞的四大悲劇之一（實為《麥克白》、《奧賽羅》、《李爾王》及《哈姆雷特》）。

該劇講述義大利貴族凱普萊特女兒朱麗葉與蒙太古的兒子羅密歐誠摯相愛，誓言相依，但因兩家世代為仇而受到阻撓。

《羅密歐與朱麗葉》雖是一出悲劇，但兩個青年男、女主人公的愛情本身卻不可悲。

他們不僅彼此相愛，而且大膽追求他們的愛情．不惜以命拼爭。他們的愛情力量使他們敢於面對家族的仇恨，敢於向生活中的障阻挑戰。

他們為了追求新的生活模式。不怕做贖罪的羔羊，因而他們的死亡雖是生命的終結，卻在道德上取得了勝利。終於使兩個敵對的家族言歸於好。

許多學者和評論家從這個意義上稱這出戲是樂觀主義的悲劇，也就是人們慣說的悲喜劇。
