传统意义上,《威尼斯商人》被认为是莎士比亚喜剧作品的代表作之一,剧中人物夏洛克也被视为贪婪、残忍的放高利贷者的代表。然而,随着夏洛克的犹太身份得到关注,学界对夏洛克本人的善恶以及《威尼斯商人》的悲喜剧性质都有了新的认识。而通过对剧中包括夏洛克、杰西卡等犹太人和阿拉贡亲王、摩洛哥亲王等异邦人的少数族裔群体进行宏观考察,不仅可以看出莎士比亚对少数族裔这一边缘群体的人文主义关怀,亦可一窥该群体在当时欧洲所面临的身份困局。
Traditionally, “merchant of Venice” is considered one of the masterpieces of Shakespeare’s comedy work, the character Shylock is also seen as representative of the greedy and cruel lenders. However, with the attention of Sherlock’s Jewish identity, the academic community has gained a new understanding of Sherlock’s own good and evil as well as the tragicomic and comedy nature of The Merchant of Venice. Through a macro survey of ethnic minorities such as Sherlock, Jessica and other Jews and Prince Aragon and the Prince of Morocco, it can not only show Shakespeare’s humanist concern about the marginalized groups of ethnic minorities , But also a glimpse of the group’s identity predicament facing Europe at the time.
