從傳統節婦劇看王仁傑的《節婦吟》劇中的人文關懷
The Humanities Concnern of Wang Renjie's "Chaste Widow Recites" from the Perspective of Traditional Chaste Widow Play
摘要
節婦劇是古代戲劇中頗具教化意義的劇作，古老的節婦劇中所強調的往往是節婦們在守寡或等待遠離的丈夫時所承受的苦難，這類戲劇中，劇作家並不用教化的語氣去勸告婦女守節，而是透過婦女對丈夫的情感，來強化他們守寡的理由，更用旌表門戶與官誥加身來強化守節的意義，一般女性觀眾喜歡看這樣的戲劇，間接的為婦女抒發了身為媳婦的辛苦，家族演劇喜歡搬演這類作品，因為教化婦女守節，可以強化家族的向心力。但在現代的社會中，貞節觀已不再能限制女性的思維，然而王仁傑卻接二連三的創作了以寡婦為主題的劇作，仍能引起廣大的迴響，因為王仁傑在劇中所投入的不再只是教化的，有的是更深的人文關懷，在逐漸轉型的社會中，婦女的心理也逐步的改變中或已經是過度的改變，節婦劇對當代人而言，無疑是一種反省與探討。
並列摘要
”Chaste Widow Plays”, which emphasized the misery and the hardships of the widows or of the women whose husbands were away, is one of the plays serving educational purposes in the traditional Chinese operas. Instead of enlightening women with the doctrines, the play writers rationalized widowhood through describing these women's love and memories of their decreased husbands. Women at that time enjoyed these plays which indirectly helped them ease the pain and difficulties of being the daughters-in-law in their husbands' family. Actors also enjoyed performing this kind of dramas because they believed that the messages of chastity and widowhood could strengthen the women's loyalty and coherence to the family. In modern society, the idea of widowhood and chastity may not have much influence on women. However, Wang(王仁傑)'s play centered with these concepts still have elicited a broad responses because that he goes beyond just educating but expresses deep concern of human affairs. Women nowadays have different attitudes and ideas from those in the traditional societies. ”Chaste Widow Plays” do serve as a good reflection and inquiry to the people in the modern society.
