《牡丹亭》结局探微

An Exploration of The Peony Pavilion's Ending

《牡丹亭》的结局,一般都认为是大团圆结局,然而杜宝始终不认可杜、柳二人的自由婚姻,故《牡丹亭》并非传统意义上的大团圆结局。如此安排,让《牡丹亭》中的现实世界与浪漫世界的冲突和碰撞展现在观众、读者面前,使其具有更加深刻、丰富饱满的社会现实意义。

Readers generally consider The Peony Pavilion＇s ending as a happy one,but Du Bao,a character in the story,always disapproves of the unconventional marriage of Du Liniang,his daughter and Liu Mengmei.Thus,The Peony Pavilion＇s ending is not a happy ending in a traditional sense.The storyline of The Peony Pavilion presents to play audiences and script readers the conflicts between the real world and the romanticized world,thus giving the play a touch of deeper and richer social significance.
