초록
This essay examines the sacred bodies symbolically and materially explored in The Croxton Play of the Sacrament. The play touches the late medieval polemic of transubstantiation through a conventional miracle play structure, in which a wicked Jew, Jonathas attempts to desecrate the host, only to have it miraculously transform into the body of Christ. Jonathas, however, deviates from the stereotype of the evil Jew, and happens to converge with the host when his hand is severed from the body. Although the play demonstrates the inclusive power of the sacred body miraculously containing even the most heretic and alien body of the Jew, Jonathas’s dismembered body attracts more attention on stage while creating the stark contrast with the inanimate image of the Christ. When Jonathas recovers the hand and achieves the wholeness, he becomes a living sacred body soon to be unleashed to the world, suggesting the most incredible miracle of the play.
Abstract
This essay examines the sacred bodies symbolically and materially explored in The Croxton Play of the Sacrament. The play touches the late medieval polemic of transubstantiation through a conventional miracle play structure, in which a wicked Jew, Jonathas attempts to desecrate the host, only to have it miraculously transform into the body of Christ. Jonathas, however, deviates from the stereotype of the evil Jew, and happens to converge with the host when his hand is severed from the body. Although the play demonstrates the inclusive power of the sacred body miraculously containing even the most heretic and alien body of the Jew, Jonathas’s dismembered body attracts more attention on stage while creating the stark contrast with the inanimate image of the Christ. When Jonathas recovers the hand and achieves the wholeness, he becomes a living sacred body soon to be unleashed to the world, suggesting the most incredible miracle of the play.
