This is a story about a prince’s vengeance.
述說一段王子復仇記。
Soon after Hamlet loses his father, his mother agrees to marry his uncle who succeeded the throne. This is the main cause of his melancholic mood. What is thought to be his father’s ghost appears to him and explains that he was in fact killed by his uncle. To find out the truth, Hamlet even humiliates his beloved Ophelia. As a result, she becomes mentally unstable, and drowns in a river. Hamlet puts together a play with the travelling actors and finds out that his uncle is the murderer of his father, but refrains from the perfect chance of taking vengeance. His uncle was praying, and to prevent him from going to heaven, he puts off his plan for vengeance. However, Hamlet accidentally murders Ophelia’s father, and was banished from Denmark. He escapes his uncle’s evil murder scheme and teams up with other nobilities to return and execute his vengeance.
哈姆雷特在喪父之後母親又馬上答應剛接下王位的叔叔的婚約,因而心情憂鬱。疑似父親的鬼魂又在這個時候出現告知哈姆雷特他其實就是這位險惡的叔叔殺害的。哈姆雷特為了證實此事的真相,不惜羞辱自己心愛的歐菲利亞。但也因此造成歐菲利亞不堪羞辱而精神錯亂,最後溺斃於河中。哈姆雷特透過刻意與旅遊表演團精心設計的戲劇終於得知了鬼魂所說屬實後,放棄了唯一一次能夠刺殺叔叔的機會。因為不想讓叔叔在正在祈禱時死亡而因此能夠上天堂。然而,哈姆雷特又因為意外殺死了歐菲利亞的父親而被叔叔放逐出國。哈姆雷特逃過叔叔的暗殺計畫,也結合了他國皇室一起回國進行復仇計畫。
His uncle talks Ophelia’s brother into dueling with Hamlet. However, his uncle poisons the sword, and prepares a poisoned wine for Hamlet to drink. Before Ophelia’s brother dies from a fatal stab, he tells Hamlet about the poison on the sword, and that he is equally as dead as he is. Hamlet’s mother ‘mistakenly’ drinks the poisoned wine and dies. In the end, Hamlet uses his last breath to stab his uncle with the same poisoned sword, and forces the poisoned wine down his throat, successfully accomplishing his revenge plan.
叔叔說服了歐菲利亞的兄長與哈姆雷特以『公平』格鬥的方式一較高下,卻也在歐菲利亞兄長比賽使用的劍上塗上的毒藥,也準備了毒酒,準備讓哈姆雷特不得好死。誰知,在哈姆雷特被刺傷後,歐菲利亞的哥哥也在死前對他坦承劍上有毒,哈姆雷特的母親也因誤喝叔叔爲他準備的毒酒而身亡。最後哈姆雷特以最後剩餘的力氣,以同樣的劍刺殺死叔叔,也同時強制灌下毒酒。在嚥下最後一口氣前,終於成功的爲自己的父親完成了復仇計畫。
聽天仙唸『哈姆雷特』劇中片段︰A Conversation with Shakespeare's Ophelia
天仙唸:用這麼一點點的文字,其實很難表達出『哈姆雷特』全部的重點。不過有哪一齣莎劇是能夠三言兩語就輕鬆帶過的呢~
