Abstract

Tom Stoppard was generally said to borrow plots, dialogues, dramatic actions, characters, and dramatic devices from other writers’ works. He did not merely imitate them, but creatively transformed them, put them into new contexts, and gave them new meanings. However, many studies on Stoppard’s plays regarded his writing style as a mere imitation and looked over the qualities intrinsic in the style. The purpose of this paper is to investigate these qualities. Stoppard explored the content and ideas rather than the forms of the plays, which he had set as his goal in writing these plays. He thought that borrowing from other writers’ works was much more economical and effective than originally writing plays on his own. Stoppard used famous classical plays as frameworks of his own plays. Especially, he consistently transformed Shakespeare’s works. He used them not to take advantage of the reputation of the plays, but to attract readers/audiences and to enhance the dramatic effect through the familiarity of the plays. Also, it is highly probable that he borrowed from the classical plays to ensure the authenticity of his works. In conclusion, Stoppard’s plays are not merely parasitic imitations or mimicries; they are very meaningful in that other writers’ works are transformed and recreated as new type of works. He demonstrates that excellent plays are created not only by using the playwright’s imagination, but also through creative transformations.
