摘要
文艺复兴时期,处于萌芽时期的科学与伪科学如魔术、巫术、占星术等并存,这一现象在莎士比亚的戏剧中也有所反映。本文对莎剧中众多女巫形象进行了分析,指出女巫虽然具有预知祸福等超自然能力,但她们的本质仍然是人。在莎士比亚戏剧中,女巫是人世间诱人堕入罪恶的邪恶力量,女巫的预言则象征了人内心的欲望。
During the Renaissance, the developing science coexisted with pseudoscience such as magic, witchcraft, astrology and so on, which is also reflected in Shakespeare＇s plays. This paper analyses the image of the witches in Shakespeare＇s plays, and points out that although the witches have supernatural power they are essentially human beings rather than goddesses or Fates. The witches are actually the malicious forces that make use of the weakness of human beings to induce them to evil. The prophecy of the witches is actually the embodiment of the inner desire in the human soul.
