Мэри МакКарти о героинях Шекспира
Sep. 8th, 2012 07:50 pm "I like the gay girls, the heroines of the comedies, Beatrice in Much Ado, (...) Rosalind in As You Like It, and her cousin Celia who finds life's foibles 'wonderful, wonderful and most wonderful, wonderful! And yet again wonderful, and after that, out of all whooping!' (...) I like their common sense, their wit and authority. Thery are the voice of reason, the voice of the author. They are the girls, one decides, that were Shakespeare's own favourites.
I do not like Viola at all. Nor Olivia. Nor Kate. Nor Portia. They are not gay; they are not girls. (...) Viola doesn't seem to be particularly feminine, in or out of boy's clothes. (...) Viola has no sense of humour. She's not witty. It's perfectly all right that little Juliet should not be witty, but it's not right for this girl who wanders around in men's clothes and has adventures not to have some mind. Olivia has no mind either. I have a sort of class-president impression of her, dominating, earnest, cold, the kind of woman I dislike intensely. I can see her in dark tailored suits with large semi-precious stones decorating her fingers. (...)"
Ум, а вернее - здравый смысл - и чувство юмора - вот секрет привлекательности от и для МакКарти. И любовь к жизни, конечно.
