堂吉诃德与哈姆雷特是塞万提斯与莎士比亚笔下创造出的两个生动形象,他们一个是毫不利己的南国游侠,一个是处处思索的北方王子。堂吉诃德处处勇往直前,遇事知难而上,是一个不折不扣的实干家;哈姆雷特处处小心谨慎,遇事思前想后,是一个彻头彻尾的思考者。从他们的身上,人们似乎可以看到人类自己的影子,认识他们有助于人类了解自己,而了解自己又无疑有助于通过促进个人的发展,推动社会的进步,这就是我们讨论堂吉诃德与哈姆雷特的人类学意义所在。
Don Quixote and Hamlet are the vivid images created by Cervantes and Shakespeare respectively.One is a selfless ranger in the south;the other is a thoughtful prince in the north.Don Quixote always has confidence and works through problems rather than avoid them while Hamlet is always careful about everything.These are the two ends of human nature-selfish and selfless.So it is beneficial to human self-awareness and the promotion of so-cial progress if the two images are studied from the view of anthropology.That is where the significance of the study exists.
