　　Howstrangeisthelotofus mortals!Each ofus is here for a bricfsojourn;for what purposo he knowsnotthough hesometimesthinks he senses it.But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people-first of all for those upon whose smiles and

　　Toinquire afterthemeaning or object ofone's own existence or that of all creatures has always seemedto me absurdfrom an objective point of view.And yet everybody has certain idealswhich determinethe direction ofhis endeavors and his judgments.In this sense I have neverlooked upon case and happiness as ends in themselves-this ethical basis I call the idea ofapigsty.The ideals which have lighted my way,and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully,have been Kindness,Beauty,and Truth.

　　《弗兰肯斯坦》登陆天津大剧院

　　19世纪初，诗人雪莱的第二任妻子玛丽·雪莱在同时期的诗人拜伦的鼓励下创作了小说《弗兰肯斯坦》，故事讲述狂热的科学家弗兰肯斯坦和他用不同尸块重新组合造出

　　的一个怪物之间的故事。这怪物本性纯良，却因为丑陋而被冷漠的人们凌辱、厌恶。他请弗兰肯斯坦再为他创造一个女性配偶，弗兰肯斯坦却出尔反尔。怪物恶性大作，

　　最终与弗兰肯斯坦在搏斗中同归于尽。当时的玛丽还不到20岁，她不知道，她的作品是世界上第一本真正意义上的科幻小说，而她也将因此被后人誉为“科幻小说之母”。

　　此番登陆天津大剧院的英国国家剧院版《弗兰肯斯坦》最值得一提的看点，就是本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇(BenedictCumberbatch)与约翰尼·李·米勒(JonnyLeeMiller)两位

　　主演会互换角色，轮流饰演科学家弗兰肯斯坦和他所创造的怪物，同一剧目、同一人物、同一导演、同一舞台，连每句台词和具体调度都毫无差别。本轮放映，天津大剧院也将卷福版与米勒版放在同周周末，让观众在两天内接连欣赏两位主演的“短兵相接”。
