本論文以女性主義的觀點來探討莎士比亞的劇本＜脫愛勒斯與克萊西妲＞。傳統的讀法傾向於將克萊西妲視為典型的淫蕩女性；然而我想證明批評家及劇中男性的對她譴責之不當。事實上她是被父權文化所壓迫的受害者。 本文共分為一篇序論及五個章節。序論中簡介來自各方批評家對本劇 的評價以及我對於本主題的研究動機。首章探討男女之間失衡的關係並揭露對愛情偏頗的觀念如何貶低了劇中戀人。第二章試圖揭穿劇中男性對於海倫的價值所持之無理性的觀念，海倫被貶為商品，一種所有物。第三章描述脫愛勒斯與克萊西妲之間的會面並仔細觀察克萊西妲對於女人規範的遵從。然而她刻意的屈從女性的角色反而被解釋為城府深沉的輕浮女子。第四章我希望顛覆傳統上所謂的「真誠的脫愛勒斯與虛偽的克萊西妲」之謬論。事實上她只是脫愛勒斯滿足性慾的獵物。她身為一個弱女子仰人鼻息的處境使得她沒有能力去愛。在最後一章我希望對本劇提供一個全面性的重新評估。藉由細心地審視莎士比亞對待這個傳奇性故事的描寫手法，我們可以發現莎氏其實免除了克萊西妲的罪過，她是被嚴重的誤解為虛偽的原型。 / The aim of this study is to examine Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida from a feminist perspective. Traditional reading tends to deem Shakespeare's Cressida to be a type of inconstancy, a female wanton, but I would like to prove that she does not eserve all the blame from critics as well as from the men in the play. In fact, she is oppressed and victimized in her patriarchal culture. The thesis is composed of one introduction and five chapters. The Introduction briefly outlines the various assessments from critics and the motivation of my research on the topic. Chapter One discusses the unbalanced relationship between man and woman, and uncovers how the contaminated conception of love degrades the lovers in the play. Chapter Two attempts to expose the irrationality of the male characters with regard to the worth of Helen, who is reduced to the status of commodity. Chapter Three delineates Troilus and Cressida's encounter, and scrutinizes Cressida's conformity to woman's decorum. However, her intentional subjection to woman's role is interpreted as a calculating flirt. In Chapter Four, I would like to subvert the traditional fallacy of "true Troilus" and "false Cressida." In fact, Cressida is only a prey to Troilus' sexual appetite. Her precarious position as a powerless woman renders her incapable of love. In the last Chapter, I wish to provide an overall reappraisal to the play. By carefully examining Shakespeare's treatment of the legendary story, we may discover that the playwright indeed exonerates Cressida who is seriously misunderstood as an archetype of falsehood.
