In fact, as early as 1930, Mr. Zhu Guangqian had a translation of this story. The translation was called "Sorrowful Sidan and Yiser", which was published by Kaiming Bookstore. Later, there was a translation by Mr. Luo Xinzhang, named "Tristan and Yiser". ", published by the People's Literature Agency in 1992. In the West, the spread of this story has been around since the 12th century. The troubadours chanted between the English and French Channels, provoking the love of many knights and ladies. It was first spread among the Celts in ancient Britain and Ireland. Berol wrote "The Legend of Trieste" in 1160. The modern scholar Joseph Bedier wrote a complete story with his edition and published it in 1910. , Then became a definitive version. Zhu Guangqian's translation is the one used.
The story of Tristan and Isolde has almost become the epitome of medieval love. Love can give way to everything, including race, family country, loyalty, friendship, monarchs, fathers and sons, and relationship between husband and wife. In the face of love, these are not mentioned. The more obstacles are, the more radiant love is. In the dark middle ages, it gave the audience a yearning for light.
Suppose, what would it be like if Tristan married Isolde? There is no need to think about this problem. An ordinary marriage cannot forge such an epic tragedy, so King Mark is destined to be a male match for a thousand years. The boy he saved by losing a hand was made by him. His lost hand was the fate of the three. Tristan and Isolde must be in such a state of hatred and sorrow in order to write love so helplessly.
Regarding the medicinal wine, that is the reason that the preacher found for their behavior. If they drink the medicinal wine or not, they will love each other and betray all principles that can be betrayed. In the movie, the medicinal liquor was deleted. Very well, modern people don’t pretend to be so shy. If you love it, you will love it. If you steal it, you will steal it. We will have to accept it. But for the fragile, careful liver of the medieval audience, medicinal wine had to be drunk. They also set a time limit for the potency of the drug, three years. Three years later, the power of the medicine faded, the love passed away, and the brilliance ceased. The three-year setting has made the efficacy of the medicinal liquor affirmed and confirmed once again. It allows the love of Tristan and Isolde to avoid the attack of the defenders. It allows love to have land to germinate and sky to fly. There is the soul to touch, and the youth to be presumptuous. The audience waited for the two to regain their sanity after the medicine faded, and what kind of bloody plot could be fabricated. But the ancient poets were the supporters and creators of romance. They challenged the dark religion and the commonplace. They were not the mothers-in-laws of TVB and Korean dramas. They could not tolerate such things as love in the eulogization, so Terry Stan is dead, and Isolde doesn't know where to end. Love will last forever.
The story of Tristan and Isolde runs through the entire Western history. It is synonymous with romanticism and a favorite subject of painters in the past. Waterhouse John William Waterhouse (1849-1917) painted it, and Aubrey Beardsley (1872~1898) painted it, coincidentally, they both focused on the scene of drinking the potion. People who like this story can say that they can't help it. But this involuntary, in fact, is people's yearning and affirmation of love. With this excuse, they can love unscrupulously. Maybe everyone wants to drink the poison as an aphrodisiac and go to a feast of love at the cost of life.
