Abstract
The subject of this paper is deconstruction of ghosts in Shakespeare's plays. It is explained that deconstruction is not merely a method of analysis, but close reading of the text which exposes the inconsistency of the observed elements in the text. The various contexts in which ghosts appear are explained in order to approach Shakespeare's plays and understand the potential interpretations. Of great importance are Catholic and Protestant interpretations of ghosts in the context of religion and history. A ghost can function on a metatheatrical level when analysed in the context of theatre, much like it can be understood as a linguistic phenomenon in the context of language. Political, philosophical and psychological implications of a ghost greatly influence Shakespeare's works. Richard III, Macbeth and Hamlet are chosen as the main body of deconstruction of ghosts. In Richard III, the focus is on the duality of the protagonist as a Lacanian subject. In Macbeth, the psychological aspect is explored further and directly connected to Derrida's interpretation of the unconscious. In Hamlet, the limitations of language show that not even ghosts can escape that same language. The end result of this deconstructionis knowledge that a ghost is a linguistic phenomenon which destabilizes the inner workings of the text and reveals the ghostly nature of language.
Abstract (croatian)
Predmet ovog rada jest dekonstrukcija duhova u Shakespeareovim dramama. Dekonstrukcija je objašnjena ne kao puka metoda analize, već kao pomno čitanje koje razotkriva nedosljednosti uočene u elementima teksta. Različiti konteksti u kojima se duhovi pojavljuju objašnjeni su kako bi mogli pristupiti Shakespeareovim dramama i razumjeti potencijalne interpretacije istih. Od velike su važnosti katolička i protestantska interpretacija duhova u kontekstu religije i povijesti. Duh može funkcionirati na razini metateatra kad je analiziran u kontekstu kazališta, na isti način kao što se da razumjeti kao lingvistički fenomen u kontekstu jezika. Političke, filozofske i psihološke implikacije duha od velikog su utjecaja na Shakespeareova djela. Drame Rikard III, Macbeth i Hamlet odabrane su kao glavni predmet dekonstrukcije duhova. U Rikardu III, fokus je na dvojnosti protagonista kao lacanovskog subjekta. U Macbethu, psihološki aspekt istražen je dublje i izravno je povezan s interpretacijom podsvjesnog koju je iznio Derrida. U Hamletu, ograničenja jezika pokazuju da čak ni duhovi ne mogu pobjeći od tog istog jezika. Rezultat ove dekonstrukcije jest spoznaja da je duh lingvistički fenomen koji destabilizira mehanizme u tekstu i razotkriva bestjelesnu prirodu jezika.
