초록
In revenge tragedies during the British Renaissance, playwrights exposed hidden evils and secrets and realized the justice by causing the wicked to face punishment. In addition, they concluded their works with ‘open ending’, revealing the problems of society that were maintained at that time. In The Changeling, Thomas Middleton and William Rowley focus on men’s and women’s changes induced by lust, and especially emphasize punishing women by revealing their immorality through their changes. They raise the moral problem of Beatrice-Joanna, one of the most dramatic and steadily changing female characters, to highlight women’s riskiness in the patriarchal society. By punishing the women who disturb the patriarchal system, the society seems to be rearranged and the justice seems to be realized. Through ‘open ending’, however, we have got to know that men can not control women’s morality, men can not properly judge true nature by their incompetence, and the male society has been built on women’s immorality. The playwrights emphasize that social justice or moral justice can not be expected or sustained.
Abstract
In revenge tragedies during the British Renaissance, playwrights exposed hidden evils and secrets and realized the justice by causing the wicked to face punishment. In addition, they concluded their works with ‘open ending’, revealing the problems of society that were maintained at that time. In The Changeling, Thomas Middleton and William Rowley focus on men’s and women’s changes induced by lust, and especially emphasize punishing women by revealing their immorality through their changes. They raise the moral problem of Beatrice-Joanna, one of the most dramatic and steadily changing female characters, to highlight women’s riskiness in the patriarchal society. By punishing the women who disturb the patriarchal system, the society seems to be rearranged and the justice seems to be realized. Through ‘open ending’, however, we have got to know that men can not control women’s morality, men can not properly judge true nature by their incompetence, and the male society has been built on women’s immorality. The playwrights emphasize that social justice or moral justice can not be expected or sustained.
