& lt Frankenstein & gt Translation of Frankenstein

The first "science fiction" in western literature was born on the shores of Lake Geneva by Mary? Mary Woolstone by Kraft Shelley.

Mary? Shelley 1797 was born in London, the daughter of a writer. Her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, was an early feminist. After giving birth to her daughter, she died of postpartum complications. Her father william godwin is a philosopher.

Mary grew up in a literary atmosphere. Some people say that when the physicist Anthony Carlisle visited her father in 1803, she was there and listened to the electric current experiment conducted by Carlyle on the corpse of the condemned prisoner in Newgate prison.

When she created the sci-fi character "Frankenstein"-modern Prometheus at the age of 19, it was entirely possible that she used the memory of that listening.

Mary has always been associated with the rebellious talented romantic poet Percy? Prissy. Percy bysshe shelley (later called Shelley) ran away from home together. After many escapes in Europe, they found refuge in Diodati, the villa of the famous poet Byron on the shores of Lake Geneva.

But the weather here is not satisfactory, and the blue sky is swept away by the storm. This summer, the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia brought a lot of rain to all parts of the world.

This natural disaster has caused the world's atmosphere to darken and cool. In order to kill time in this rainy weather, three literary lovers decided to read German ghost stories in turn to shorten the long rainy day.

At the same time, they are also interested in Charles, the founder of evolution. Darwin and Erasmus? This paper discusses the electric power science experiment conducted by Erasmus Darwin. Erasmus? Darwin believed that electric current could revive dead matter.

The terrible moment inspired three young people to write a competition, and they decided to hold a horror story writing competition. Everyone else decided to write short stories, only Mary wrote novels, which even became a myth.

It took her months to finish the novel. When she 18 17 left Switzerland, her manuscript had been completed. 1 year later, this novel became a best seller as soon as it came out.

But there is another incredible reason for the birth of this novel that has nothing to do with volcanic eruption. One night. Mary? Shelley was attacked by a nightmare at Diodati Villa.

Mary herself recalled, "Although I closed my eyes, I was very clear-headed. I saw a pale, scholar-like person kneeling in front of the' object' he assembled. "

"I looked at the profile of this terrible man lying on his back. When a very strong motor sounds, the devil begins to move without any help and make almost the same movements as people. "

Mary immediately thought that this picture that shocked her would definitely shock many readers.

The tragic fate of romantics

After an idyllic life in Switzerland, Mary? Shelley's life was shrouded in shadows. First, her sister-in-law Fanny committed suicide. Later, Shelley's wife Harriet committed suicide: when people found her, she was already dead, with her premature baby and a lover.

After this series of suicides passed, Mary married the poet Shelley in London. However, due to the public disgust caused by these scandals, they had to leave Britain and go to Italy, where they spent a short but wonderful time.

1822, Shelley fell into the water on a ship from Raspe to Genua.

In fact, in 18 19, when her two children were infected with a pathogen that both she and her husband had, and both of them died, Mary had already experienced a nervous breakdown. Only Percy survived, and it was because of him that Mary had to pull herself together and return to England.

She devoted herself to writing in England and never remarried.

Because she is bent on her own way, it is difficult to be accepted by society in this life. 185 1 year, she died of a disease that tortured her for many years.

Frankenstein is the name of a young chemist. He stumbled upon a method of making human beings "without God's hand" and created a huge and ugly monster-creature. After the monster was born, it was ruthlessly regarded as a heterogeneous hunting by the world. Although it has human feelings, it can never have a normal human life. So the monster began to retaliate against Frankenstein and killed all his relatives and lovers.

Fierce theories have expanded and created human life. Victor Frankenstein, a scientist, and his assistant stole a corpse from a grave and assembled it into an artificial man. Once he is brought into real life, he is as pure as a child. But victor frankenstein didn't realize his extraordinary strength and terrible appearance. The giant became hostile and asked Victor Frankenstein to make him a partner.

A synopsis of a play

This play tells the story of Hamlet, the prince of Denmark, who revenges his father. The reason is that his father, the King of Denmark, defeated the Polish army and died suddenly after Hamlet went to Wittenberg University. Before the plot began, the current king's brother Claudie announced that he was heir to the throne, and married the widow of the former king, Hamlet's mother Gertrude as the new queen.

The whole play starts from the castle of Eisenno in the kingdom of Denmark, and a group of guards on sentry duty discover the ghost of the king who has just died in horror. Hamlet's friend Horatio was there. He asked the ghost if there was anything unfair. The soldiers thought that the ghost might have difficulty, but the ghost disappeared without saying a word.

The next day, the Danish Palace held a ceremony to celebrate the wedding of Claudia and Gertrude. The new king asked Hamlet to stop being immersed in sorrow. When he was alone again, he couldn't help expressing his resentment at his uncle's usurpation of the throne and his mother's quick remarriage. Then his friend Horatio and the soldier who saw the ghost last night reported yesterday's fate. Hamlet is determined to investigate the matter.

That night, he and Horatio went to the castle to observe the movement. Just as Hamlet accused them of drinking too much and seeing visions, ghosts appeared again. It called Hamlet and whispered an amazing secret: his father was murdered! The ghost told Hamlet that he was poisoned by the poison that Claudius poured into his ear and asked Hamlet to avenge him! Hamlet was shocked by the news. He went back to the soldiers and asked them to swear to keep what they saw and heard today a secret.

Hamlet didn't know whether the ghost he saw was really his father or the devil who incarnated as his father and dragged him to hell. So he pretended to be crazy and wanted to see if his father was sane, hoping that these actions would reveal clues or have a chance to destroy his uncle Claudia in one fell swoop.

Hamlet's act of pretending to be crazy fascinated the traitor and disloyal Claudia, especially thanks to the king's ignorant Polish minister, Bronn Neil. Bronn Neil thinks that Hamlet is really crazy, and insists that Hamlet is crazy because he can't get the love of his daughter Ophelia. Bronn Neil banned O 'Filja from having anything to do with Hamlet. Bronn Neil began to fear Hamlet's influence in the court. In order to alleviate his guilt, he tried his best to serve the king. Nominally, in order to find out why Hamlet went crazy, he arranged for Mr. Filja to meet Hamlet at the king's sign. Bronn Nell and the king watched in the dark. The king may have seen through Hamlet's trick and let his college classmates Rosengeland Gardenstein come to watch. Hamlet didn't let his guard down, and he also saw through the real intention of his old classmates' sudden visit. Hamlet made a list to recreate the scene when his late king was murdered. "This play will tell everything, and then I will find out the king's tail."

Act II Scene II

Soon after the scene began, Claudia was on pins and needles and immediately got up and asked for a lamp. The king's shocking reaction (which Horatio also noticed) convinced Hamlet that he must have done something wrong. Soon after, Claudie arranged for Hamlet to go to Denmark with roxanne Crane and Gardens Deng, and ordered Hamlet to be killed as soon as he reached his destination. At the same time, Claudie privately expressed his disgust at his past behavior, repented and asked for forgiveness. Hamlet found Claudius praying and trying to kill him, and immediately stopped him. Because Hamlet didn't want his revenge to send the repented Claudia to heaven. Ironically, just after Hamlet turned away, Claudie realized that he could not achieve it under the current mental state. If Hamlet didn't try to end his soul and life, he would still blame himself. Claudia is doomed to fail because she tries to go against the will of the ghost.

Hamlet laid his cards on the table with his mother and talked to her about her father's assassination and her incest with her uncle. During the conversation, Hamlet noticed someone eavesdropping behind the tapestry and thought it might be Claudius, so he stabbed the other person to death. It turned out that the eavesdropper was actually Bronn Neal. But Hamlet did not regret it, and continued to blame his mother. At this time, the soul of the late king appeared again and rebuked Hamlet. Because the mother couldn't see the soul of the late king, she only saw Hamlet talking to himself, so she was sure that her son was really crazy.

Claudius sensed Hamlet's real intention, so he sent him to England. In order to protect himself, he attached a secret letter to kill him. Rosengeland and Gardens Deng were ordered to go together to confirm the execution of the assassination order. But on their way to England, they were attacked by pirates. Hamlet became a prisoner but was immediately sent back to Denmark.

At this time, Ophelia was completely crazy because of Hamlet's refusal and her father's death, and kept humming ditties (these ditties may be based on traditional British folk music). I don't know whether it was suicide or accident, but she slipped and fell into the water and drowned. Her brother Laerte came home from abroad, eager to avenge the death of his father and sister immediately.

After Hamlet's voyage, when Ophelia's coffin arrived, he met heriott in the cemetery outside Elsinore Castle. While the grave digger was working, Hamlet saw the skeleton of yorick (the skeleton is a symbol). Yorick used to be a court clown, which reminded Hamlet of his childhood. He announced loudly, "What rests here is the lips I kissed many times." . When Hamlet was deep in thought, the king, queen, Laerte and his entourage all came. When Hamlet learned of Ophelia's death, he was very sad, so he jumped into the unsealed grave and wrestled with Laertes.

Knowing that Hamlet had returned to Denmark, Laerte and Claudie decided to murder him and tried to make the murder look like an accident. Claudie suggested that Rael invite Hamlet to a duel. He challenged Hamlet to say that he didn't like the duel. What Hamlet didn't understand was that Laerte didn't fight it with an ordinary sword, but with a sharp poisonous sword. In addition, in order to prevent Laerte from killing Hamlet, Claudie even prepared poisoned wine to celebrate him.

Before waiting for the duel to begin, Hamlet, Horatio and playboy osric play together. Hamlet won the first two games in the duel, and Gertrude drank the celebration wine that was expected to poison Hamlet without knowing it. Hamlet was finally stabbed into a deadly poison, and then he stood up and stabbed Laerte deeply with a poisonous sword. After the queen died of drinking poisoned wine by mistake, she still did not forget to warn Hamlet that the wine had been poisoned. Before she died, Laerte confessed everything to Hamlet. In anger, Hamlet also killed Claudius with a poisoned sword, forced him to drink poisoned wine, and finally avenged his father.

Horatio was shocked by a series of events. He grabbed the poisoned wine and wanted to go to the grave with his friends, but Hamlet took his cup. He asked heriott to tell the story in the name of Hamlet. He also suggested that Norwegian Prince Fu Dimbla should inherit the Danish throne. After Hamlet's death, Helio couldn't restrain his grief: the noble heart has left, dear prince, good night, angels are flying and singing, may you rest in peace.

Act five, scene two

Dimbla appeared with the British ambassador, stunned by the massacre, and ordered a military salute to bury Hamlet. Horatio spread the story of Hamlet all over the world.
