“I’ve noticed that some students think they are very capable now. They think that mastering some skills outside of school means they can look down on basic academic studies.”
“In Shakespeare’s‘Hamlet’, what is the essential conflict reflected by the famous line‘To be, or not to be: that is the question’? Please analyze it from the perspectives of humanism and the social context of the Renaissance.”
“‘To be, or not to be’ is not just a question of life and death. It’s a profound struggle.”
(“'To be, or not to be'不僅僅是一個生與死的問題。這是一場深刻的斗爭。)
李慧臉上的冷笑,微微一僵。
林墨沒有停頓,繼續說道。
“From the perspective of humanism, it represents the awakening of individual consciousness. Hamlet is no longer a pawn of fate or divine will, like characters in medieval literature. He is a‘man’ who is beginning to think about his own existence, his value, and his choices. The conflict is between the newly awakened human reason and the lingering medieval concepts of revenge and honor. He wants to act, but his rational mind questions the meaning and consequences of that action.”
“From the social context, the line reflects the turmoil of the Renaissance. The old feudal order was collapsing, but the new bourgeois order had not yet been fully established. Hamlet, as a prince, stands at the crossroads of this historical change. His hesitation is not just personal weakness, but a reflection of an entire era’s confusion and uncertainty. To be, means to conform to the old rule of‘an eye for an eye’. Not to be, means to challenge it, but with no clear path forward. So, the question is not about suicide, but about how to exist in a world where all old values are being questioned.”
(“從社會背景來看,這句話反映了文藝復興時期的動蕩。舊的封建秩序正在崩潰,但新的資產階級秩序還沒有完全建立起來。哈姆雷特作為王子,站在了這一歷史性變化的十字路口。他的猶豫不僅僅是個人的軟弱,而是整個時代的困惑和不確定性的反映。To be,意思是符合'以眼還眼'的舊規則。Not to be,意思是挑戰它,但沒有明確的前進道路。所以,問題不在于自殺,而在于如何在一個所有舊價值觀都受到質疑的世界中生存。)
