The aim of this contribution is to add to the ongoing interpretation of key moments in Shakespeare’s canon which may be said to offer a window into the interiority or spiritual outlook of some of his best-known characters, and which are broadly defined as “soliloquies”. After a consideration of the nature of the Shakespearean soliloquy and its linguistic characteristics, the article looks at two passages - from Julius Caesar and Hamlet - in which Italian translators deal with the highly-charged, and deeply challenging, “language of the soul” that these theatrical moments showcase.

Abstract

The aim of this contribution is to add to the ongoing interpretation of key moments in Shakespeare’s canon which may be said to offer a window into the interiority or spiritual outlook of some of his best-known characters, and which are broadly defined as “soliloquies”. After a consideration of the nature of the Shakespearean soliloquy and its linguistic characteristics, the article looks at two passages - from Julius Caesar and Hamlet - in which Italian translators deal with the highly-charged, and deeply challenging, “language of the soul” that these theatrical moments showcase.
