Text:
Shakespeare, a great literary master, created many vivid characters in his drama creation: Sherlock in comedy and Falstaff in historical drama, especially the protagonists in Hamlet, Othello and King Lear, especially Macbeth, which is analyzed in this paper, is famous for its unprecedented complexity and contradiction, and has become an immortal artistic image with far-reaching historical significance and high cognitive value. Shakespeare's flexible artistic means in portraying and shaping these characters have also become the most precious wealth in Shakespeare's drama art treasure house.
Taking Macbeth, one of Shakespeare's four tragedies, as an example, this paper makes a rough exploration of Shakespeare's characterization art around Macbeth.
Clever and changeable contrast
Macbeth is the shortest of Shakespeare's tragedies, and the author makes full use of contrast in the play. Have people long noticed the use of this tragedy? Central radiation control? , so that the central character Macbeth contrasts with other characters, showing Macbeth's tragic degeneration in the comparison.
(A) Macbeth and Banco's image contrast
As soon as Banco appeared, he was an image of fighting side by side with Macbeth and making great contributions. When the witch predicted that Macbeth would be the future king, the play did not directly describe Macbeth's reaction, but reflected Macbeth's heart through Banco's questions? General, why are you surprised? You seem afraid of the good news. When the witch suddenly disappeared, Macbeth was very depressed, and then Banco said? Did we eat crazy grass roots by mistake and lose our minds? He is not as eager to know more as Macbeth. Maybe he just regards witches as a mirage. What did Macbeth say when the news came? What! Will the devil tell the truth? This means that he believes that witches are not phantoms. Banco also reminded Macbeth: In order to frame us, the devil will often tell us the truth on purpose, gain our trust in small things, and then we will fall into his trap at important moments. ? In this way, from the very beginning, Ban Ke, who has a pure heart, is in sharp contrast with Macbeth, who has a criminal mind. The initial realization of the witch's prophecy set off a huge wave in Macbeth's heart, and his reaction at this time was reflected again by Banco's words. Look, how absorbed our companions are in thinking. New honors are added to him, just like when we put on new clothes, we always feel that it doesn't fit us well and we are not used to it. ? In this plot, the image of Banco not only plays a role in describing and revealing Macbeth's inner world, but also exposes Macbeth's at least subconscious imperial dream through comparison. However, Banco's joke shows that he is not very keen on it. Macbeth, who had a heavy dream of being an emperor, could never feel at ease again. Instead, he went to Banco of Macbeth Castle with the king and was enjoying the nesting of swallows in nature, noticing that the air was always fresh and fragrant. This carefree state of mind is something Macbeth with ulterior motives will never understand. When the king was killed, he proposed to hold a meeting to thoroughly investigate the truth of the bloody case, exposing the rebellious plot on the unexposed mask, and the image of courage and integrity jumped to the page. Unfortunately, he didn't do what he said. He is the only one who knows the prophecy, but he keeps his mouth shut about it. He gave in to evil, and the witch and his own ambition finally conquered him. But his tragic ending came earlier than Macbeth's, which made people deeply realize that the result of giving in to evil is no better than implementing evil. Banco and Macbeth? Different ways? And then what? The same return? The trajectories of fate reflect each other, giving people profound inspiration and thinking.
