项目摘要

This study aims to examine the significance of the multiple plot structure widely seen in English Renaissance Drama in terms of audience involvement in the theater. The most significant function of the sub-plots of English Renaissance Drama is to associate dramatic action with everyday life of the audience and the function plays an important role in English Renaissance Drama which was primarily intended for theatrical performance.In this study the author argues the following two points: (1) In The Changeling, a collaboration of William Rowley and Thomas Middleton, the idea of sublunary world which was understood as full of changes and changelings in Western philosophical tradition, plays the unifying role between the two plots which seem to present discrepant actions in the light of causal relations between the two plots. (2) The concept of equivocation which plays an important role in the thematic formation of William Shakespeare's Macbeth is rooted deeply in the political context of Jacobean age, especially in the political crisis exemplified in The Gunpowder Plot. Shakespeare makes use of the concept effectively for his manipulation of how audience perceives Macbeth's tragedy, alluding to the contemporary political issue when he gives giving a dramatic form to the original story of Macbeth which is supposed to happen in eleventh century Scotland. Therefore the Porter scene of Macbeth serves the similar function, however small in its magnitude, as other multiple plots of English Renaissance Drama.

本研究旨在探讨英国文艺复兴时期戏剧中普遍存在的多重情节结构在观众参与戏剧方面的意义。英国文艺复兴时期戏剧的次要情节最重要的功能是将戏剧动作与观众的日常生活联系起来，这一功能在主要用于戏剧表演的英国文艺复兴时期戏剧中起着重要作用。(1)在威廉·罗利和托马斯·米德尔顿合著的《变灵》中，西方哲学传统中被理解为充满变化和变灵的地下世界观念在两个情节之间起着统一的作用，从两个情节之间的因果关系来看，这两个情节似乎呈现出不同的行为。(2)歧义概念在莎士比亚《麦克白》的主题形成中起着重要作用，它深深植根于詹姆士一世时代的政治语境，尤其是《火药阴谋》所体现的政治危机。莎士比亚有效地利用了这个概念来操纵观众对麦克白悲剧的看法，暗指当时的政治问题，当他给麦克白的原著故事赋予戏剧形式时，这个故事应该发生在11世纪的苏格兰。因此，《麦克白》中的波特场景与英国文艺复兴时期戏剧中的其他多重情节有着相似的作用，尽管它的规模很小。
