초록
The purpose of this study is to examine Shakespeare’s Cymbeline from an ecofeminist perspective in order to illuminate the notion of liberation from the Anthropocene. To this end, this study focuses on the three central plots of Cymbeline to explore how the core ideas of ecofeminism facilitate a transition from the Anthropocene to a post-Anthropocene paradigm. First, in the marriage plot of Imogene and Postumus, the overthrow of the oppressive system that has defined the former as superior and the latter as inferior in dichotomous structures such as city/countryside and male/female is explored. Second, in the plot of Bellarius and the two princes’ lives in the forest, it is revealed that the ethics of care in an ecological community without hierarchy or domination represents an alternative community based on consideration for others and mutual care. Third, in the political plot of the struggle between the Roman Empire and Britain, the restoration of the ecosystem is examined through the process of conflict, reconciliation, and reunion, as well as the establishment of a network of relationships through solidarity rather than the logic of domination.
