和学生一起读<罗密欧与朱丽叶>的60天(2)
找工作有了一些进展,论文数据收了一箩筐,所以可以得闲,继续写点不正经的感悟啦,加油!
先回顾下上篇的内容-阅读罗密欧与朱丽叶的意义是什么?
问题1:莎士比亚的语言, 和阅读和写作有什么关系?
问题2:人物故事对我们感觉和控制情绪,有什么启迪?
继续我们来问,问题3:人物和命运折射出的复杂两难问题,如何能解?
3)Understand Human’s complexity, understand ourselves
这是我第一次去关注一个次要角色,弗里尔·劳伦斯,是这本书中一个非常有趣的人物。弗里斯·劳伦斯像是一个会占卜的预言人,他的一些话总是暗中透露出了人物的命运。他也是一个像罗密欧的父亲般的人,他知道罗密欧的小秘密,因为他知道罗密欧的冲动常向罗密欧提供建议(第3行)。他反对不受控制的激情和爱,宣扬温和适度的感情。然而,在罗密欧的要求下,他仍然帮助罗密欧与朱丽叶迅速地结婚。事实上,他可以本来可以在行动罗密欧之前,有更多的劝导和忠告。
Besides Romeo , Friar Lawrence is the most interesting character in the book.Friar Lawrence is kind of predictive person as some of his words imply the character’s fate.He is a kind of father-like person to Romeo. He knows the little secret of Romeo and give advice to Romeo as he know Romeo’s impulsiveness.(Act 3 ) . He often speaks against the uncontrolled passion and love and he is definitely for moderation. However, under the request of Romeo, he still helped Romeo and Juliet married. He could have asked Romeo to have more thoughts before action. Probably he did that also with the hope that the marriage would reslove the feud between two families ( Act 3, Scene 2).
不过,他并没有想到婚姻会加速年轻恋人的悲剧。不管弗里尔·劳伦斯的忠告,罗密欧杀死了泰尔巴特,以报复他的朋友马库蒂奥的死亡。正因为如此,他被王子(第3幕,场景2)驱逐出境。他提出了假死亡计划,不幸的是,罗密欧没有得到这个计划的消息,在朱丽叶的坟墓前自杀。一个有趣的问题是:弗里尔·劳伦斯,他是圣人还是自负的欺骗者?也许都是。书中的人物反映了我们的生活,与他相似,大多数社会人拥有双重身份。弗里斯·劳伦斯就像所谓的“聪明的朋友”,带着美好的希望,提供各种的建议,但也因为听者缺乏判断的能力,反而迷失了方向,好心人却办了“坏事”。
However, he did not expect that the marriage would speed up the tragedy of the young lovers. Regardless of Friar Lawrence’s advice , Romeo killed Tybalt to revenge for his friend Mercutio‘s death. Because of that, he was banished by Prince( Act 3, Scene 2) .He came up the plan of fake death by giving the poison to juliet, but unfortunately Romeo did not get the message of this plan and accidentally self-killed himself around the tomb of Juliet.The question is : Is he a holy man or a deceitful schemer?I think both.
The character in the book mirrors our life.Similar with him, most of social person holds dual identities.Friar Lawrence is like our so called "wise friend” or holy man.He hopes to make good for us , giving life advice but it turns out to be the sadness.
这其实是一个很有趣的议题。当他人的建议和自我的观点产生了冲突,听或不听?到底冲动和理性,哪个才会带我们走向真理?或者,我们只是在第二个想法之后采取行动?
不仅仅是主角,每个角色背后都有好多个话题可以被讨论,我想这大概是文学大师的智慧之处。在带着学生们咀嚼大师语言的同时,我似乎还能看到这个世界的发生,看到每个人,包括自我的复杂和两难。
This is actually a very interesting topic. When else's advice conflict with self- , listen or not ? impulseness and rationalness, which will take us to the truth? Or do we just take action after the second thought?
Not just the protagonist, each character has a lot of topics behind that can be discussed. I think this is probably the wisdom of the master of literature. While students chewing the language beauty, I seem to be able to see the occurrence of this world, see everyone, including the complexity and dilemma of the self at the same time.
以上均为“老夫聊发少年狂”,下次准备认真严肃写点“教学法”,比如“Literature circle”+IT(科技辅助合作阅读),也就是我现在在做的Project!突然发现原来芬兰做过类似的项目,大写的惊讶脸,待我前去瞧瞧~
