Abstract:

In offering readings of Shakespeare’s tragic women on film, this thesis explores bodies that are caught between signifiers of absence and presence: the woman’s body that is present with absent body parts; the woman’s body that is spoken about or alluded to when absent from view; the woman’s living body that appears as a corpse; the woman’s body that must be exposed and concealed from sight. These are bodies that appear on the borderline of meaning, that open up a marginal or liminal space of investigation. In concentrating on a state of ‘betweenness’, I am seeking to offer new interpretive pos

Abstract:

This dissertation is the application of counterfactual criticism to Shakespearean tragedy—supposing we are to ask, for example, “what if” Hamlet had done the deed, or, “what if” we could somehow disinherit our knowledge of Lear’s madness before reading King Lear. Such readings, mirroring critical practices in history, will loosely be called “counterfactual” readings. The key question to ask is not why tragedies are no longer being written (by writers), but why tragedies are no longer being felt (by readers). Tragedy entails a certain urgency in wanting to imagine an outcome different from the

Abstract:

Equivocation is a condition of language that runs riot in Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, and King Lear. Whether as ambiguity or dissimulation, equivocation propels the plots of these plays to their tragic finales. The Doom as depicted in pre-Reformation churches is invoked in the plays as a force that could end both equivocation and tragedy. However, Shakespeare withholds this divine intervention, allowing the tragedy to play out. Chapter One outlines the thesis, explains the methodological approach, and locates the thesis in relation to the major fields of Shakespeare studies. Chapter Two focuses

Abstract:

Despite the intriguing nature of metaphor and its acknowledged importance in the discipline of Translation Studies (TS), a relatively small number of studies have explored the translation of metaphor from the perspective of Conceptual Metaphor Theory, and very few of them adopted an experiential approach to the object of analysis. This research aims at exploring the translatability of creative metaphor in six Arabic translations of Shakespeare’s Othello and Macbeth based on a combined methodology that adopts the Conceptual Theory of Metaphor and the descriptive approach to text analysis in TS.

Cette étude présente, dans une première partie, une réflexion sur l'idée de nature dans quatre tragédies de William Shakespeare dans la perspective d'un lien que nous établissons, dans une deuxième partie, avec l'idée fondamentale de pouvoir. L'analyse des personnages en tant qu'éléments centraux à cette tension entre les deux notions, le rappel de la façon dont Shakespeare les situe par rapport à l'une et à l'autre, nous amènent à envisager le passage de la dyade "nature/ pouvoir" à la triade "nature- homme - pouvoir" comme le ressort essentiel de la tragédie shakespearienne.

Abstract:

The adaptation of Shakespeare’s plays in England continues to be complicated by his canonical status. This has led to the authority and value of productions of Shakespeare’s plays being assessed in terms of their fidelity or otherwise to the text, original performance conditions, and even Shakespeare’s intentions. The growing influence of performance studies offers a new way examine adaptations by focusing on adaptation as a creative process as well as a product. This opens up opportunities to examine how such ideological constructions of Shakespeare’s textual authority impact on the adaptatio

Abstract:

This thesis re-examines Shakespeare’s creation of tragic character through the concept of ‘arrivals’. What arrives is not an ‘individual’ but what I call a ‘subject’, which is a diffused dramatic process of arriving, rather than a self-contained entity that arrives in a final form. Not all characters are ‘subjects’. A subject only arrives through dramatic ‘events’ that rupture the existing structures of the play-world and the play-text. The generators of these irruptions are found equally in the happenings of plot and in changes of poetic intensity and form. The ‘subject’ is thus a supra- indi

碩士<br>中國文化大學<br>英國語文學研究所<br>97<br>After thorough study of Shakespeare’s four great tragedies: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth, I have found that Shakespeare’s tragedies fit into a general formula that all the protagonists have made some kind of misjudgement under their singular circumstances, and as a consequence, they all receive harsh punishments and many sufferings. Finally, the protagonists gain their recognition. From their recognition, they repossess their nobility, which bring about conciliation between the parties they have wronged.
