The curtain rises; the Cardinal and Daniel de
Bosola enter from the right. In appearance, the
Cardinal is something between an E1 Greco cardi-
Line nal and a Van Dyke noble lord. He has the tall,
(5) spare form—the elongated hands and features—
of the former; the trim pointed beard, the imperial
repose, the commanding authority of the latter.
But the E1 Greco features are not really those of
asceticism or inner mystic spirituality. They are
(10) the index to a cold, refined but ruthless cruelty in
a highly civilized controlled form. Neither is the
imperial repose an aloof mood of proud detach-
ment. It is a refined expression of satanic pride of
place and talent.
(15) To a degree, the Cardinal’s coldness is artifi-
cially cultivated. He has defined himself against
his younger brother Duke Ferdinand and is the
opposite to the overwrought emotionality of the
latter. But the Cardinal’s aloof mood is not one of
(20) bland detachment. It is the deliberate detachment
of a methodical man who collects his thoughts
and emotions into the most compact and formi-
dable shape—that when he strikes, he may strike
with the more efficient and devastating force. His
(25) easy movements are those of the slowly circling
eagle just before the swift descent with the
exposed talons. Above all else, he is a man who
never for a moment doubts his destined authority
as a governor. He derisively and sharply rebukes
(30) his brother the Duke as easily and readily as he
mocks his mistress Julia. If he has betrayed his
hireling Bosola, he uses his brother as the tool to
win back his "familiar." His court dress is a long
brilliant scarlet cardinal’s gown with white cuffs
(35) and a white collar turned back over the red, both
collar and cuffs being elaborately scalloped and
embroidered. He wears a small cape, reaching
only to the elbows. His cassock is buttoned to the
ground, giving a heightened effect to his already
(40) tall presence. Richelieu would have adored his
neatly trimmed beard. A richly jeweled and
oranamented cross lies on his breast, suspended
from his neck by a gold chain. [br] Which of the following best characterizes the author’s attitude toward the Cardinal?
选项
A、He deprecates his inability to sustain warm familial relationships.
B、He esteems him for his spiritual and emotional control.
C、He admires his grace in movement and sure sense of personal authority.
D、He finds him formidable both as an opponent and as a dramatic character.
E、He is perturbed by his inconsistencies in behavior.
