长期以来,莎剧《威尼斯商人》中的夏洛克一直是莎评学者们笔下的热点人物。他们挥毫泼墨,浓笔艳彩给夏洛克勾画了一幅又一幅的肖像。有的把他画成“贪婪狠毒的守财奴”;有的将他描为“爱钱如命的吝啬鬼”;有的给他冠以“贪婪、吝啬、奸诈而狠毒的资产阶级的典型”的名号,等等。总之,夏洛克乃是一个地道的“反面人物”,是令人深恶痛绝的“敌人”。这种结论似乎已“盖棺论定”。由此,连夏洛克这个名字也成了“敲诈勒索、冷酷无情的人”的代名词。 For a long time, Sherlock in Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” has always been a hot figure by Shakespearean scholars. They brush ink ink, thick pen brilliance to Sherlock outlined one after another portraits. Some portrayed him as “vile vicious miser,” while others described him as “a miser who loves money.” Some gave him the epitome of “bourgeois, greedy, stingy, treacherous and treacherous.” Name, and so on. In short, Sherlock is an authentic “negative person” and an abominable “enemy.” This conclusion seems to have been “decided on.” Thus, even the name of Shylock has become synonymous with “extortion, ruthless people.”
