《春香传》与《西厢记》比较研究

A Comparative Study on Chunhyang and Romance of Western Chamber

朝鲜经典盘索里小说《春香传》和元杂剧《西厢记》堪称世界文学史上的两部经典名作,两部作品中所描叙的男女婚恋故事,呈现出朦胧的现代意识,具有反封建的思想主题。两部作品也存在很大的差异:一是文学体裁不同,《西厢记》为元杂剧,《春香传》是"盘索里"类小说。二是《西厢记》与《春香传》主人公身份地位不同,崔莺莺是相国千金,张生却家境贫寒;而《春香传》则相反,李梦龙是两班贵族,而春香是退妓之女。《西厢记》与《春香传》中男主人公在追求爱情方式上呈现出巨大的差异性,本文在此基础上考察中朝两国文学的共同性与差异性。

Chunhyang,the classical Korean novel and Romance of Western Chamber,Zaju of Yuan dynasty written by Wang Shifu,are two masterpieces in the world literature. The stories of marriage and love between heroes and heroines in the two books show obscure modern awareness and theme of anti-feudalism. The two books convey great distinction in literary genre and social status: one belongs to classical novel,the other is Zaju; Cui Yingying,a daughter of prime minister,while Zhang Sheng,a poor scholar in poverty. Quite on the contrary,Li Menglong,a nobility,and Chunxiang,a daughter of a retired harlot. The heroes in the two novels present different manners in pursuing love. Based on all above,this paper analyzes the similarity and difference between Korean literature and Chinese literature.
