论李益形象的改变与戏剧形式之关系——以汤显祖《紫钗记》为例

The Relationship between Li Yi's Character Changing and the Dramatic Modality——Taking The Purple Hairpin By Tang Xianzu for Example

戏剧中某些人物的功能,就是为戏剧冲突赋予动机,为矛盾发展提供推动力。卢太尉的出现使汤显祖《紫钗记》克服了其前身《紫箫记》缺乏戏剧性的致命伤,也使李益的形象发生了本质性的改变。李益内在的薄幸秉性被转化为卢太尉可见的威逼利诱行为,李益随之变成了可爱的纯情天使。这表明戏剧的独特形式对角色的设置有特定的规定性,并在中国古代文学那些流传不息的人物形象的迁延中起着重要的作用,同时也表明了戏剧在汤显祖手中的发展和成熟。

The function of some character in the drama is to provide motive for the conflict of dramaturgy and to promote the development of conflict itself. The appearance of LuTaiwei has made up the lack of dramaticism in The Purple Flageolet before and brought about the complete change of the figure of Liyi. Li Yi＇s inner character of being heartless is transferred to the outer combination threats with inducements from Lu. So compared with Lu, Li Yi becomes a lovely, innocent angel, which explains that the special prescriptive role setting owes a great deal to the unique form of drama which has played an important role of those distinguished characters in ancient Chinese literature. At the same time, it indicates the maturity of dramas of Tang Xianzu.
