《哈姆雷特》是英国文艺复兴时期最伟大的人文主义作家莎士比亚最具悲剧色彩的戏剧作品。该剧借丹麦古老的宫廷仇杀故事反映了17世纪初的英国现实,特别是王室同资产阶级之间的矛盾。为了突出地反映那一时代生活的最本质的矛盾,诗人在创作中大面积使用了对比手法。 “Hamlet” is the most tragic drama of Shakespeare’s greatest humanist writer during the Renaissance. The drama borrowed from the story of the ancient palace vendetta in Denmark reflects the British reality in the early 17th century, especially the contradiction between the royal family and the bourgeoisie. In order to prominently reflect the most essential contradiction of life in that era, poets used a contrasting technique in their creation.
