《路得记》人物角色的转换

On the Role Change in the Book of Ruth

本文运用"角色发展模型",对危机状态下《路得记》中人物角色发展变化进行了分析研究。笔者认为故事情节的演变也是主人公角色转换的过程。在此过程中,角色的特征尤其是性别特征表现出相当强的模糊性和流动性,《路得记》中人物角色的转换就鲜明地体现了这一特征,这表明故事中人物角色的转换具有很强的社会功能,它是危机得以解决的重要手段。

In term of a three-stage modle of role development, role change is examined through crisis initiated in the Book of Ruth. The study shows that the development of the story is accompanied by the process of role change as well. During this process the character especially the role gender boundaries of the people in the story are deconstructured, which functions as a rational for social change in response to crisis.
