Fujiwara Tatsuya - "Hamlet" Frailty, thy name is woman

[s0l1ps1st1c]

One of my favorite scenes from Hamlet! This where he 1st contemplates suicide because of his mother's sudden marriage to his uncle - his father's brother.

Hamlet's lines:

O that this too too solid flesh would melt,

Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew!

Or that the Everlasting had not fixd

His canon gainst self-slaughter! O God! O God!

How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable

Seem to me all the uses of this world!

[s0l1ps1st1c]

Fie ont! O fie! tis an unweeded garden, That grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature Possess it merely. That it should come to this! But two months dead!—nay, not so much, not two: So excellent a king; that was, to this, Hyperion to a satyr; so loving to my mother, That he might not beteem the winds of heaven Visit her face too roughly. Heaven and earth! Must I remember? Why, she would hang on him As if increase of appetite had grown By what it fed on:

[s0l1ps1st1c]

and yet, within a month,— Let me not think ont,—Frailty, thy name is woman!— A little month; or ere those shoes were old With which she followed my poor fathers body Like Niobe, all tears;—why she, even she,— O God! a beast that wants discourse of reason, Would have mournd longer,—married with mine uncle, My fathers brother; but no more like my father Than I to Hercules: within a month; Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears Had left the flushing in her galled eyes, She married:

@s0l1ps1st1c I thank you, but I wanted it directly translated, so I could understand the difference in english and japanese undestanding. I want to know what the japanese are hearing....that's all

[s0l1ps1st1c]

— O, most wicked speed, to post

With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!

It is not, nor it cannot come to good;

But break my heart,—for I must hold my tongue.

確かに分かりやすいですね。ハムレットの苦悩が伝わります。

また藤原竜也さんで再演してほしいものです。

抽象的で難解でなシェイクスピアの長台詞が、観ていてこんなに心­に響くハムレットは初めてです。
