This paper explores the rival relationship of visual and verbal modes of representation as well as the relationship between drama and narrative in The Winter’s Tale. Although The Winter’s Tale presents the dramatic spectacle of Hermione’s statue in the end, most of its significant events are not represented on the stage. Meaningful scenes including Antigonus’s dream and death, the sixteen-year gap in the play’s action, and the reunion of Leontes, Polixenes and Perdita are described or narrated by one or more of the play’s characters. Through many acts of vivid narration in the play, Shakespeare suggests that verbal description can sometimes persuade us that we are seeing the thing itself. In other words, we are asked to believe in events that are only described to us by the play’s characters such as Leontes, Antigonus, Autolycus, and gentlemen. In that sense, it seems that The Winter’s Tale’s is bold ekphrasis itself and can be read as a confident trick by Shakespeare. Shakespeare’s ekphrasis is presented as a trope that can create a powerful illusion of presence, describing many absent events that we cannot see on the stage. Skillfully juxtaposing narrative description and visual immediacy in the closing scenes, Shakespeare seems much more sophisticated than Atolycus, a narrative artist and con-man that he creates. Eventually, Shakespeare’s remarkable exploration of narrative sometimes makes the play’s characters as well as us not to tell the difference between representation(or fictions) and reality, which is related to the way in which The Winter’s Tale itself blurs that difference.
Abstract
This paper explores the rival relationship of visual and verbal modes of representation as well as the relationship between drama and narrative in The Winter’s Tale. Although The Winter’s Tale presents the dramatic spectacle of Hermione’s statue in the end, most of its significant events are not represented on the stage. Meaningful scenes including Antigonus’s dream and death, the sixteen-year gap in the play’s action, and the reunion of Leontes, Polixenes and Perdita are described or narrated by one or more of the play’s characters. Through many acts of vivid narration in the play, Shakespeare suggests that verbal description can sometimes persuade us that we are seeing the thing itself. In other words, we are asked to believe in events that are only described to us by the play’s characters such as Leontes, Antigonus, Autolycus, and gentlemen. In that sense, it seems that The Winter’s Tale’s is bold ekphrasis itself and can be read as a confident trick by Shakespeare. Shakespeare’s ekphrasis is presented as a trope that can create a powerful illusion of presence, describing many absent events that we cannot see on the stage. Skillfully juxtaposing narrative description and visual immediacy in the closing scenes, Shakespeare seems much more sophisticated than Atolycus, a narrative artist and con-man that he creates. Eventually, Shakespeare’s remarkable exploration of narrative sometimes makes the play’s characters as well as us not to tell the difference between representation(or fictions) and reality, which is related to the way in which The Winter’s Tale itself blurs that difference.
