摘要
英国早期现代戏剧家使用医学话语"刺肤",把复仇定义为一种手术过程,展示复仇暴力在剧本世界和观众世界中的伦理效果。复仇归因于暴君由"血液过剩"生发的"性欲",当"性交"不能让暴君彻底根除"强暴"行为时,复仇者必须向暴君"刺肤"放血,弑杀暴君以根治国家疾病。考虑到"坏血"与"好血"难以分开,被强暴后的臣民之妻女的纯血被暴君的"坏血"所污染,唯有给她们"刺肤"致使其血液流尽,家族才能重获健康;对邪恶复仇者来说,只有让他们"刺肤"死去,自己的血液洗清复仇罪恶时王国才能新生。
The early modern English playwrights use medical discourse of skin penetration, defining revenge as an operation process, and displaying the ethical effects of revenge violence in dramatic texts and audience. Sexual desires of tyrants can be interpreted as ＂plethora＂, and when sexual intercourse cannot root out raping actions, avengers must stab at tyrants to let out their blood to cure national diseases once and for all. Since it is difficult to distinguish bad blood and good blood, when wives and daughters of the subjects are raped, their blood is polluted by the bad blood of the tyrants, and only if they can be allowed to be stabbed to let out blood, can evils be washed clean and can their family be healthy again. As to wicked avengers, only if they can be allowed to be stabbed to death can their blood wash clean their evils and can their kingdom be reborn.
