초록
This paper is designed to study the vision of evil in Richard III. The play dramatizes the final demonic phase of civil war, depicting the desperate way the old world ends. In the demonic phase of history, Richard appears as a remainder of radical negativity of old world, which still haunts the present world. In the process of usurping the crown, he repeats and accumulates internecine feud inexorably. The incessant murders he has committed seem to be the very form in which old order survives and haunts the present. Thus, the play suggests the vision of evil as being stuck for all eternity with an abyss and unable to disappear, unable to come to an end, and doomed to eternal repetition. The play also suggests that this vision of evil is no more than that of nothingness and ineffectiveness. At the end, when Richard is defeated by Richmond who represents officially good and divine justice, this vicious cycle of evil is closed. And the play can reach its proper ideological resolution for Tudor myth. But Shakespeare’s stance seems to be divided between sanguine view of Tudor myth and cynical view of it.
Abstract
This paper is designed to study the vision of evil in Richard III. The play dramatizes the final demonic phase of civil war, depicting the desperate way the old world ends. In the demonic phase of history, Richard appears as a remainder of radical negativity of old world, which still haunts the present world. In the process of usurping the crown, he repeats and accumulates internecine feud inexorably. The incessant murders he has committed seem to be the very form in which old order survives and haunts the present. Thus, the play suggests the vision of evil as being stuck for all eternity with an abyss and unable to disappear, unable to come to an end, and doomed to eternal repetition. The play also suggests that this vision of evil is no more than that of nothingness and ineffectiveness. At the end, when Richard is defeated by Richmond who represents officially good and divine justice, this vicious cycle of evil is closed. And the play can reach its proper ideological resolution for Tudor myth. But Shakespeare’s stance seems to be divided between sanguine view of Tudor myth and cynical view of it.
