论陈最良在《牡丹亭》中的结构功能

On the Structure and Function of Chen Zui-liang in the book"The Peony Pavilion"

陈最良在《牡丹亭》中虽然是一个小角色,却有着非常重要的结构功能。他是杜丽娘爱情的启蒙者,是柳梦梅接近杜丽娘的桥梁,是杜柳最终团圆的促成者,对推动剧情的发展起到了不可替代的作用。

As an excellent love work,'The Peony Pavilion'focuses on its main idea and the figure of dramatic personae,ignoring other roles and thinking little of them,as is the case with Chen Zui-liang. However,he plays an important related part in the play.He was the torchbearer of Du Li-niang's love,the bridge between Liu Meng—mei and Du Li—niang,a help to bring about a happy union of the lovers and a decisive role in the smooth development of the play.
