英文摘要 | This paper is a study of Bernard Shaw's characterization of Napoleon Bonaparte. He tries to present the war hero in The Man of Destiny first as an ambitious opportunist and then as a pessimistic fatalist. In the wit duel over a love letter written by Josephine to Barras, Napoleon is defeated by an anonymous lady. Being Josephine's old friend, the lady knows that Napoleon is an opportunist who is always ready to make the best of his circumstances by sacrificing others. Although she is caught and forced to submit the letter that she has intercepted, she manages to convince Napoleon that he should turn a blind eye to his wife's unfaithfulness and burn the letter to protect himself. She also saves the lieutenant from being punished for losing the letter. At the end of the play, napoleon acknowledges that he is beaten by the lady. He not only declares that his defeat in the wit duel is an omen of his future defeat by an English army led by an Irish general but also says that he believes in his star. He seems to have changed from an ambitious opportunist into a pessimistic fatalist; however, the development of the play cannot convince the audience of the necessity of such as a change in Napoleon's character. The play is set two days after Napoleon's victory at Lodi, Italy, when Napoleon is at the beginning of his career. It is too abrupt to let the protagonist play the role of a fortuneteller to forecast his own defeat at this moment. Thus Shaw is successful only in presenting Napoleon as an ambitious opportunist. |
