摘要：The.word.business.in.Shakespeare.is.a.word."rich.and.strange.".King.Claudius.defines.himself.in.his. agony.as."a.man.to.double.business.bound". [Hamlet,.III.iii.],.meaning.both. to.his."strong.intent".to.pray.and. also.to.the.burden.of. his."stronger. guilt".of.having.committed.his."rank.offense.".When.Edmund.hears.that.the.Duke.of.Cornwall.is. staying. tonight. at. Gloucester's,. he. exclaims:. "The. duke. be. here. to©\night.. The.better!.best!./.This.weaves.itself.perforce.into.my.business".[King.Lear,.I.ii.],.referring.to.the.devilish.treacherous.plot.against.his.brother.Edgar..Iago.agrees.to.give.Cassio."access".to.Desdemona.and.even.promises."to.draw.the.Moor./.out.of.the.way,.that.your. converse. and. business. /. may. be. more. free.". Once. the. seeds. of. a. terrible.misconception.as.to.the.nature.of.this.business.have.been.implanted.in.his.master's.mind,.he.swears.that."to.obey.shall.be.in.me.remorse./.what.bloody.business.ever.".[Othello,. III.iii.]. Seeing. her. husband. waive. in. his. "dark. intent,". Lady. Macbeth.demands. that. he. "put.this.night's. great.business. into. my. dispatch,". [Macbeth,. I.v.].and.the.last.instance.of.his.resistance.is.expressed.in.his.resolution."we.will.proceed.no.further.in.this.business.".[Macbeth,.I.vii.].For.the.final.restoration.of.Hermione.to.be. possible,. her. faithful. maid. Paulina. encourages. the. spectators. to. "awake. their.faith,". and.demands. that."those. that.think. it. is.unlawful. business. /. I. am.about,. let.them.depart.".[The.Winter's.Tale,.V.v.]
