"No-one can make us love love as much as Shakespeare, and no-one can make us despair of it as effectively as he does". William Shakespeare is the only classical author to remain widely popular - not only in America but throughout the world - and Allan Bloom argues that this is because no other writer holds up a truer mirror to human nature. Unlike the Romantics and other moderns, Shakespeare has no project for the betterment or salvation of mankind - his poetry simply gives us eyes to see what is there. In particular, we see the full variety of erotic connections, from the "star-crossed" devotions of Romeo and Juliet to the failed romance of Troilus and Cressida to the problematic friendship of Falstaff and Hal. This volume includes essays on five plays, "Romeo and Juliet", "Anthony and Cleopatra", "Measure for Measure", "Troilus and Cressida" and "The Winter's Tale", and within these Bloom meditates on Shakespeare's work as a whole. He also draws on his formidable knowledge of Plato, Rousseau and others to bring both ancients and moderns into the conversation. The result is a truly synoptic treatment of eros, not only a philosophical reflection on Shakespeare, but a survey of the human spirit and its tendency to seek what Bloom calls the "connectedness" of love and friendship. These highly original interpretations of the plays convey a deep respect for their author and a deep conviction that we still have much to learn from him. In Bloom's view, we live in a love-impoverished age; he asks us to turn once more to Shakespeare because the playwright gives us a rich version of what is permanent in human nature without sharing our contemporary assumptions about erotic love.

愛欲與性欲是有本質區彆的,這個根本沒辦法混淆。愛欲,首先是愛,延伸纔是性,性是因愛而生的。性欲,就是性衝動,一種動物交配本能。

評分莎翁之所以偉大,在於自然,展現人本來的樣子。那種古典式沉思,而不是改良現代的野心,很好很美。關於愛句句寫在心裏,比如布魯姆說:“羅密歐和硃麗葉是一對完美的戀人。他們美貌、年輕、高貴,而且富有。人們憎恨以貌取人、年齡歧視、精英主義,以及其他種種,但是一旦說到羅密歐和硃麗葉,我們發現這種憤慨就立即化解瞭,幾乎所有人都站在這對年輕人這邊。我們的妒忌沉默下來,哪怕我們當中最不受上天眷顧的人也從這樣的愛情中得到滿足,從而證明我們並不需要把世界變得醜惡來彌補自己的缺點。”比說說愛情,不僅包含激情,還有美德和理性。比如說,愛是超越一切的自由,天生固有,卻需要很多信心,對美有驚人的理解。真的,好久沒讀到這麼好的評論瞭。
