다양한 신분의 네 쌍의 연인들이 빚어내는 사랑과 결혼

계층도 처한 상황도 가치관도 다른 네 쌍의 연인들이 펼치는 사랑과 결혼을 기본 뼈대로 형제간의 갈등과 화해가 천재적 작가의 언어를 통하여 멋지게 빚어진 낭만희극. 『좋으실 대로』는 셰익스피어의 희극이 지닌 공통된 요소들이 골고루 깃들어있는 대표적 희극작품이다. 지금까지도 이 작품은 다각도로 연구되고 꾸준히 공연되어 오면서 그 진가를 인정받았다.
셰익스피어의 5대 희극작품 중 하나로 꼽히는 『좋으실 대로』에는 셰익스피어의 대표 희극에 나타나는 공통적인 요소들이 모두 담겨있다. 청춘남녀의 사랑, 우여곡절 끝에 이루어지는 여러 쌍의 결혼, 목적달성을 위한 여성인물들의 남장, 부패한 궁정이나 도시와 대조되는 숲이나 목가적 전원, 언어유희, 놀이로서의 연극행위, 화해를 통한 행복한 결말 등이 이에 해당한다. 이런 특징들이 유기적으로 어우러져 있을 뿐 아니라 재기발랄한 어릿광대와 염세주의적 사색가의 등장 역시 극의 흥미를 더한다. 또한 인물들의 대사와 사랑에 대한 다양한 태도를 통해 기존사상을 풍자하고 전통에 깃든 모순을 지적하여 작품의 깊이를 더하고 있다.
한국외대 지식출판콘텐츠원이 작년 말부터 발간하고 있는 셰익스피어 전집은 국내를 대표하는 셰익스피어 문학 전문가들의 연구로 완성했다는 점에서 더욱 차별화된다. 셰익스피어 전집은 셰익스피어의 작품 총 40편을 다룰 계획으로 첫 작품 '베니스의 상인'에 이어 두 번째 작품 '한여름 밤의 꿈'을 발간했다. 두 작품 모두 원작에 충실한 깊이 있는 번역과 지금까지와는 다른 시각으로 접근한 번역으로 화제가 되기도 했다. 세 번째 작품인 이번 『좋으실 대로』 또한 셰익스피어 극작품 번역에 참여한 전문가들의 연구로 운문 대사 번역의 어려움을 해결했다고 전했다. 무리하게 행의 순서를 그대로 맞추기보다는 가독성에 초점을 두어 독자들이 쉽게 읽을 수 있도록 한 것. 말장난이나 동음이의어 등 언어적 차이 때문에 작가가 의도한 효과나 유머를 그대로 전달할 수 없는 한계는 각주를 통해 원서의 내용을 간략하게 설명하고 있다.

로잘린드와 실리아 등장

실리아 언니, 제발 부탁이니 좀 웃어봐.

로잘린드 실리아, 나는 지금 최대한 명랑하게 보이려고 애쓰는데, 여기서 얼마나 더 명랑해져야 하는 거니? 추방당한 아버지를 잊을 수 있는 방법을 알려주지 않는 이상, 내게 즐거운 일을 떠올리라고 말해봤자 소용없어.

실리아 그렇다면 내가 언니를 사랑하는 만큼 언니는 날 사랑하지 않는 거야. 큰아버지가 우리 아버지를 추방하셨다 해도, 언니가 여전히 내 곁에 있어준다면, 나는 언니의 아버지를 친아버지처럼 사랑했을 거야. 내가 언니를 사랑하는 만큼 나에 대한 언니의 사랑이 진실하다면, 언니도 그렇게 할 수 있어.

로잘린드 좋아, 내 처지를 잊어버리고 너와 즐겁게 지낼게.

실리아 언니도 알겠지만, 우리 아버지에게는 자식이 나 하나뿐이잖아. 앞으로 더 생길 것 같지도 않아. 아버지가 돌아가시면 분명 언니가 상속자가 될 거야. 우리 아버지가 언니 아버지로부터 강제로 빼앗아간 것을 내가 좋아하는 언니에게 돌려 줄 테야. 내 명예를 걸고, 꼭 그럴 거야. 그 맹세를 어긴다면 내가 괴물로 변해도 좋아. 그러니 장미꽃처럼 사랑스런 우리 언니, 명랑하게 지내자.

로잘린드 좋아, 이제부터 그럴게. 그럼 재미있는 놀이를 생각해 내야겠어. 음, 뭐가 좋을까? 어디 보자. 사랑에 빠지는 거 어떠니?

실리아 그거 좋아. 장난삼아 해보자. 하지만 진정으로 남자를 사랑해서는 안 돼. 장난삼아 사랑을 한다 해도 도가 지나쳐서는 안되고, 순수성을 지닌 상태로 다시 빠져나올 수 있어야해.

로잘린드 그럼 대신 어떤 놀이를 하면 좋을까?

실리아 음, 우리 앉아서 운명의 아낙네를 놀려주어 물레1)에서 손을떼도록 하자. 그렇게 하면 사람들에게 공평하게 선물이 돌아갈 것 아니야.

로잘린드 그렇게 할 수 있다면 얼마나 좋겠니. 여신의 선물은 주인을 잘못 찾아가는 경우가 많거든. 특히 인심은 좋지만 눈먼 여신은 여자들에게 선물을 줄 때 가장 실수를 하지.
