Literal Invention or Social Imitation

Shakespeare’s opera interpretation, like any interpretation, needs an approach as much as exhaustive. Even if we will try to know significations and actions describes, theoretically, is it possible that just the initial sense, given by Shakespeare, to escape us. Starting from that, interpretation that was given by Voltaire or Tolstoy to Shakespeare’s texts can be understood.

So, from the bad disposition until strong faith, detractor’s ideas can be understood. These can be malicious assertion of life persuasion. Independent from that, exist a different level between writing and practice, theory and action.

The word’s sense plays an important roll, and writing meaning word associations, more or less successful. Detractors’ critic can’t be considered a crime, but it can be look like an human act of sense approach. Even if can have aggressive accents, lead at superior knowledge, by according another signification/interpretation to Shakespeare’s opera.

Psychological, human’s behavior is inventions’ or/and imitations’ consequence. Between these two concepts, imitation and inventions, doesn’t exist a clear delimitation, each human’s actions have their impression, and even it is hard recognized.

On the other hand, words, language have a close relation with the thinking. Without the words’ means we can’t think. So, communication’s act is an cognitive indicator.

In the literary opera, the personages are defining from words. These, at there turn, are ordinates for author. We can say that the personages exists (because human’s existing can be independent analyzed from words; if the words that describes personages exist result that personages are real) or are fantasy. It’s hard to make this separation, and in the most cases, the personages are considered at realities.

A lot of words’ sense lead, in their interpretations, at theoretical impossibility of analyzing about one aspect. Shakespeare’s opera can be approximated from historical view (a device image at his epoch realities), philosophical (writing like expression at his theory about life-weltanschauung), psychological –social, literary (composition techniques, styling figure, used language), dramatist (scene personages play according to author’s vision).

Starting from the mimesis concept from Poetica by Aristotle and till now, transmission of information, states, feelings it’s realized (by speaking act), at another different process, like body language, intonation, movement, the final aim being empathy.

Shakespeare, and later Schopenhauer, considers the life like a theatre. The man is playing his life’s role, and disappear, like an actor after the spectacle finish. In this point, like the impossibility to dipping two times in the same river (Heraclit from Efes), we can speak of actors/roles plurality, even if, apparent, it’s about the same spectacle played by the same actors.

The dichotomy invention-imitation can be looked like a continuum, a circle in witch a concept conduces at another, at unfinished. The personages copy a life style that is Shakespeare’s inventions. Also, in the literary jargon it is assumes, for many times, a converse relation: the personages gave birth to author.

Human behavior are approximated from imitation or invention, doing that from this to exist some behavior ideal types, but the reporter at these is always personal, meaning unique. The meaning of these and the literary operas realization can be looked like an appanage to the great authors.

If we look over the humanity evolutions, we can see that the imitation and invention plays an important role, we can say decisive. From the great Greek antic school and till today, the thinkers takes the precursor’s ideas, developing them. Shakespeare makes the same work: take existing concepts/ideas and organize them in an original form. At them turn, the personages takes the Shakespeare’s ideas and present these like being personal. Also, we can have a trial relation: author, personages and readers.

Usually, the imitation and invention have different significations and opposed sense. The imitation supposes copying, for many times without thinking, of one model/action little or none understood, as the invention is originality mark.
