《哈姆雷特》第三幕,第二幕,1897年-埃德温·奥斯汀修道院
-This scene from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet depicts the assembled court of Denmark watching a play that Hamlet has devised to “catch the conscience of the king.” Suspecting that his father, the former king, was poisoned by his uncle Claudius, Hamlet has orchestrated a performance with a similar assassination plot. Languidly sprawled on the ground beside a wide-eyed Ophelia, Hamlet looks furtively over his shoulder to gauge his uncle’s reaction. Everyone else stares beyond the painting’s setting, toward the “play” before them. The viewer, standing in front of the canvas, thus occupies the same space as the actors on stage.
