从妓女到节妇——唐传奇《李娃传》悲喜剧内涵新探

Study on the Tragic and Comic Features in The Biography of Liwa

唐传奇《李娃传》的爱情故事情节存在着由悲剧到喜剧的转换。"李娃对郑生有无真情"的问题无法定论,且与情节的发展之间并无太大关系。出身妓女的李娃懂得遵从唐代"狎妓文化"的潜规则,郑生却试图打破这一点,因而落得悲剧下场。李娃最终与郑生结合,成就喜剧的大团圆结局,是一个从妓女到节妇的转变过程,恰恰体现了作者对封建门阀制度的迎合,而非反抗。

There is a conversion from cothurnus to comedy in the love story Tang Dynasty named The Biography of Liwa. We can not pro-vide a definitive answer for“Is there any true love between Liwa and Zhengsheng？”and that is no impact on the development of the plot. Liwa is a prostitute,she knows that to comply with the unspoken rules of“the culture of going whores”,but Zhengsheng wants to resist it,and then he is abandoned. Finally,Liwa marries with Zhengsheng,there is a conversion from prostitute to vestal virgin about Liwa, it shows that the author agrees with the feudal system,rather than resistance.
