A Study of Garden Scenes in English Renaissance Plays

通过研究早期现代英语戏剧文本，我收集了花园场景。有趣的是，在这些花园场景中发生的大多数事件可以分为以下5类：a.浪漫邂逅；B.亲密谈话和保密谈话；C.忧郁的沉思；d .窃听;大肠入侵。很明显，在创作戏剧时，莎士比亚和他同时代的人脑海中都有传统的花园观念和形象这些观念和形象是通过各种文学和文化传统传递给他们的。仔细分析一下这些花园场景，就会发现它们的编排有以下几个重要的特点。对花园的口头引用可以在舞台上创造一种特殊的氛围，将舞台空间转变为一个私人的，安静的，但潜在的脆弱的地方。花园的设置可以增强场景的秘密、浪漫、沉思或不祥的气氛。然而，即使对话中没有具体提到花园的背景，场景的地点也可能通过非语言的方式间接地暗示出来。舞台的结构很适合上演花园的场景。如果指定，舞台门、舞台阳台、幕布空间和舞台柱子可以作为花园门、花园窗户、凉亭和树木等多种用途。

Through examining early modem English play texts, I have collected garden scenes. It is interesting to discover that most events taking place in these garden scenes can be divided into the following 5 kinds: a. romantic encounters; b. intimate talks and confidential conversations; c. melancholic meditations; d. eavesdropping; e. intrusion.Clearly, while writing plays, Shakespeare and his contemporaries had in their minds the traditional idea and image of the garden that had been mediated to them through a variety of literary and cultural traditions.A close analysis of these garden scenes has shown the following important things about their staging.1. A verbal reference to a garden could create a particular atmosphere on the stage, transforming the stage space into a private, quiet, but potentially vulnerable place.2. The garden setting could enhance the secret, romantic, meditative, or ominous mood of the scene.3. Even if, however, the dialogue includes no specific reference to the garden setting, the scene's locality might somehow be suggested indirectly by non-verbal means.4. The structure of the stage was useful for staging garden scenes. If designated, a stage door, the stage balcony, the curtained space, and the stage posts could serve variously as the garden door, a window over the garden, an arbour, and trees.
