复辟喜剧:“不道德”与道德教诲

Restoration Comedy: Immorality and Moral Instruction

复辟喜剧从问世以来,就因其大胆地表现复辟时期贵族男女间的生活情事,夫妻间的种种背叛和不忠,被打上了"不道德"和"猥亵"的标签。然而,这些表面现象的背后,实质体现出复辟喜剧家们对当时社会状况和制度的深入思考。喜剧家们以讽刺的手法表现社会现实,并暗含了强烈的道德教诲。

Since the birth of Restoration Comedy, it has been labeled as ＂immorality＂ and ＂profaneness＂ for its bold representation of love affairs and infidelities in aristocratic families. However, behind the apparent bawdy plots, the profound thinking of dramatists on the social problems and institutions has also been revealed. Therefore, the playwrights use the satirical techniques to depict society as well as insinuate their strong moral instructions.
