《哈姆雷特》中"约之链"的审美特质

《哈姆雷特》蕴含的契约意识具有独特的审美特质。哈姆雷特通过一系列约定，和周围的人一起让混沌的世界恢复了秩序。这一切，不是靠武力和冲动，而是以自由意志为基础的缔约能力。契约的破与立的是故事情节发展的内动力，契约的守与背是哈姆雷特复仇的原动力，契约的自由意志与道德责任是莎士比亚对人性和社会的哲学思考。从这个角度来说，哈姆雷特试图遵循“奥卡姆剃刀”原则，依据约定的破与立，将国家恢复到有序状态。

Aesthetic qualities of the chain of agreements in Hamlet

The chain of agreements in Hamlet has unique aesthetic characteristics. In order to explore the truth of his father''s death, Hamlet made efforts with people around him to take a revenge as well as to change the chaotic order, mainly depending on his ability to conclude agreements with free will instead of by forceful impulse. Thus, keeping and breaking the promise is both pivotal for the development of the plot and critical for Hamlet to launch the plan for revenge, and through the contemplations about free will and moral responsibility embodied in agreements reveals Shakespeare''s philosophical thinking on human nature and society. It can be said that Hamlet has restored Demark to an orderly state with the manipulation of contracts from the perspectives of Occam''s Razor Principle.
