夏洛克是莎士比亚的名剧《威尼斯商人》中的主要人物形象,以往论者多认为他冷酷、自私、贪婪、吝啬。笔者以为这是不尽公道的,至少带有一定的偏面性。夏洛克是一个注重实效的商人,他的所作所为尽管有很大程度上的不合情处,但却有某种合理的因素。本文从金融商贸、民族自尊感、法律意识等方面对夏洛克进行了重新认识。 Shylock is the main character in Shakespeare’s famous play “The Merchant of Venice,” and many in the past consider him cold, selfish, greedy and stingy. I think this is not fair, with at least a certain degree of partiality. Shylock is a pragmatic businessman whose actions, although largely absurd, have some element of justification. This article has re-recognized Shylock from aspects of financial business, national sense of self-esteem and legal awareness.
