8、,戏剧情节围绕人物为满足各自贪欲,挖空心思施展骗术展开。剧中的隐瞒艺术可分为两个层面表层隐瞒和深层隐瞒。此剧以讽刺当时伦敦社会“金钱至上”的唯金主义为主题,揭露和批判了由此引发的各种社会畸形,主要反映詹姆士一世时代伦敦刚刚崛起的商人阶层的狡诈和贪婪,但琼森却选择意大利的威尼斯作为戏剧古代事件背景。福尔蓬奈这只闻名于世的狐狸,是一个富有却老谋深算的威尼斯人,他没有妻子、家里,甚至没有同事,所以没法将他的巨大财富遗赠给谁;在意识到困扰着他的贪婪后,他和他的食客莫斯卡决定痛改前非。他装出染上了一整套威胁生命的疾病,鼓励众多的无赖为得宠于福尔蓬奈并得到他的财富而竞争。在本琼森剧情尖锐化的喜剧中,经过剧

13、 pronounced opposition to the Elizabethan romantic plays,which seemed to him not only lawless in artistic structure but unreal and trifling in atmosphere and substance.本本琼森琼森(Ben Jonson,15721637年)是当时最早的学术派剧作家。琼森的写作风格深受罗马戏剧“三一律”经典结构的影响,强调时间、地点和行为的统一。尽管琼森写了几个悲剧,如西亚努斯的覆灭(1603年)和卡塔林的阴谋(1611年),但最出名的还是他的讽
14、刺喜剧。琼森写了许多部喜剧,与莎士比亚不同,很少有浪漫田园色彩(悲哀的牧人属于田园剧类型,题材类似假面剧),绝大部分属于社会讽刺性质,以伦敦市民和宫廷生活为背景,多按古典主义原则写作,人物和情节对17、18世纪英国喜剧很有影响。琼森还写了大量的供宫廷娱乐的作品,形式和内容都是投王室贵族所好。作为抒情诗人,最脍炙人口的是一些短歌,如致希丽亚。他在莎士比亚戏剧全集(1623)前面的序诗中,对莎士比亚作了公允的评价,至今还被评论家引用。他的有关文学创作的意见可以追溯到亚里士多德、贺拉斯等古典作家。他主张文学应当符合“自然”,符合“生活”,“酷似真实”。他引古人的话说:“没有艺术加工的自然决不会完美,
15、缺少自然的艺术不可能存在。”他赞成作品风格要明快、准确、优美,反对马洛帖木儿式的浪漫夸张风格。这些主张成为17、18世纪英国新古典主义的创作准则。自从詹姆斯一世封他为“英国桂冠诗人”以后,他的画像就被挂在英国一家酒吧的门口,至今还在。Jonson and Shakespeare In 1598,Jonson wrote what is considered his first great play,Every Man in His Humor.In a 1616 production,William Shakespeare acted in one of the lead roles.Shor
