A Comparative Study of Female Images Between Traditional Drama and Modern Drama—Taking Two for the Road and Dou E Yuan as Examples
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
As a mature work of ancient Chinese tragedy, Dou E Yuan not only accuses the cruel reality of disregard for human life, but also has a great influence on later literature and drama. Up to now, it has also appeared as a classic in stage performances, teaching books, etc. Many dramas are deeply inspired by its artistry, theme and realism. The "red literary works" with the same goal as "two for the road" also need a strong political propaganda means to publicize revolutionary thoughts by means of this art form. From the perspective of female images in Dou E Yuan and Two for the Road, this paper comprehensively analyzes the embodiment of female personality characteristics, values and artistic techniques in the two dramas, and compares and investigates the characteristics, situations and changes of gender consciousness of female images in the two dramas.
Keywords
