“追溯式”结构三部曲——从《俄狄浦斯王》到《雷雨》

The Trilogy of the Structure of Tracing Back: From King Oedipus to Thunderstorm

"追溯式"是戏剧创作的一种手法,经历了一个从传统到现代的历史演变过程。古希腊悲剧诗人索福克勒斯、挪威剧作家易卜生和中国戏剧大师曹禺都曾在自己戏剧创作中成功地运用过这一手法,并使其成为自己戏剧艺术的特征之一。他们的剧作《俄狄浦斯王》、《群鬼》和《雷雨》堪称是这一手法的典范性作品,可看作中外戏剧文学历程中"追溯式"结构的三部曲。

As a technique of drama creation, the tracing type has experienced a history of evolution from tradition to modernity. The ancient Greek tragedy poet Sophocles, Norwegian playwright Ibsen and the Chinese drama master Cao Yu all used this technique successfully in their drama creation, and made it one of their artistic features for their dramas. Their dramas, King Oedipus, Ghosts and Thunderstorm are the model of this technique, and they can be regarded as the trilogy of the structure of tracing type in the process of the Chinese and foreign drama literature.
