Decoding a message in Shakespeare's Narrative Poems and Sonnets

在本研究中，我分析了莎士比亚在他的两首叙事诗《维纳斯与阿多尼斯》和《鲁克丽丝的强奸》中插入隐藏代码的可能性。这两首诗在意象上有着共同之处，如战争意象、色彩（红、白色）意象、国王/王后意象等。当我们从莎士比亚的政治语境来考虑这两首叙事诗的相似之处时，我认为莎士比亚的《维纳斯与阿多尼斯》和《鲁克丽丝的强奸》体现了一种危险的密码，即反莎士比亚的意识形态。

In this research, I analyze the possibility that Shakespeare may have inserted a hidden code in his two narrative poems, Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece. These two poems have the common imageries such as the imageries of war and colors (red and white), and representations of king/queen. When we consider the similarities of the two narrative poems from the Elizabethan political context, I propose that Shakespeare’s Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece embody a dangerous code, namely, an anti-Elizabethan ideology.
