Abstract

Shakespeare's King Lear offers later writers a scaffolding on which to construct do-it-yourself religions that emerge when intentional and unintentional pilgrims venture, abdicate, or are expelled from existing institutional orders and discover the covenantal core of religion when they encounter Other dispossessed people. Shakespeare's play, in dialogue with the Book of Job, develops the idea of a suffering God that is latent in the Hebrew Bible. When students at the University of Michigan-Flint adapted the play to their contemporary environment, they began their own pilgrimages into a wounded city and family traumas. Without biblical literacy, they instinctively reached for John Keats’ Lear-inspired ‘Vale of Suffering’ letter and the Bible-belt inflected stories of Flannery O'Connor to reassemble Lear as a religious play for today.

不可调和的宗教
莎士比亚的《李尔王》为后来的作家提供了一个脚手架,在这个脚手架上,当有意或无意的朝圣者冒险、退位或被驱逐出现有的制度秩序,并在遇到其他被剥夺权利的人时发现宗教的契约核心时,就会出现自己动手的宗教。莎士比亚的戏剧,在与《作业书》的对话中,发展了希伯来语圣经中潜在的苦难上帝的思想。当密歇根大学弗林特分校的学生们将这部剧改编成适合他们当代的环境时,他们开始了自己的朝圣之旅,来到一个受伤的城市和家庭创伤中。在没有圣经知识的情况下,他们本能地找到了约翰·济慈的《李尔王》启发的《苦难谷》信和弗兰纳里·奥康纳的圣经腰带故事,将李尔王重新组合成今天的宗教戏剧。
