这是第二段,谢谢了!
Manyscripts by Shakespeare have some correlation with fundamentals brought up byConfucius. The most used of the Shakespeare books is Hamlet and the Merchantfrom Venice.Confucian justice demands good to prevail overevil, and reward must be evident on this earth and not merely promised in ahereafter. The importance of familial ties and virtuous personal conduct arethe features of Hamlet that are congruent with Confucian values. Also Confuciusimplores, ‘Conduct the funeral of your parents with meticulous care,’ and thatis evident later on when Hamlet follows the kings call for vengeance afterClaudius’ perfidy was revealed to him. In the Hamlet book the Fate that Hamletexpresses in the following memorable lines: ‘There is specialprovidence in the fall of a sparrow. If it [death] be now, yet it will come.’Shakespeare’s ‘the readiness is all’ and Confucius’‘Hehas not lived in echoes of Confucius reverberate in Hamlet, yet we cannotentirely say Shakespeare is a “Confucius Hero”.
