第一章討論的是惹內運用劇中劇的形式，來凸顯他的劇作是經由人為精心策劃的這個事實。他更認為所謂的真實，也和虛幻一樣，是人建構出來的東西。第二章則是關於作者如何以後現代諧擬的手法，打破他劇作的虛構性，刻意使觀眾察覺幕後製作技巧的運作方式。第三章要談論的是他劇作所展現出的不定性及流動性。第四章旨在指出他劇中人物主體性的定義，是基於他們角色的不同，和他們相互間的差異性。本章並且探討作者如何以二元對立的形式，解構傳統中一尊一卑的二元對立模式。 惹內以劇場的形式解構了傳統寫實劇場。他利用自我顛覆的技巧，不斷地強調虛幻比現實更真實，創造了一動盪不定且虛無的戲劇世界。 / This thesis aims at exploiting the postmodern characteristics of Jean Genet's plays: The Maids, The Balcony, The Blacks and The Screens. The first chapter discusses how Genet makes use of the form of a play within a play to foreground the theatricality of his plays. With this structure, he expresses his view on reality: it is constructed in the same way as illusion. He considers that nothing can be real. The second chapter talks about the way postmodern parody functions in his works: to reinforce the artificiality of the plays and to make the audience aware of how theatrical devices woek. The third chapter probes the indeterminacy and fluidity of his plays . The fourth chapter discloses the playwright's notion that one's identity is defined in terms of one's role and one's difference from the others. It also elaborates how he deconstructs the traditional binary opppsition(in which there is always a superior and an inferior). Genet subverts the conventional realistic theater by using its form. As he keeps destabilizing his plays and emphasizing that appearance is more real than reality, he creates a theatrical world of uncertainty and emptiness.

Critical studies on the comic drama of the seventeenth-century French playwright, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin de Moliere (1622-1673), center attention on biography, production, stylistics, and thematic development. Because of the diversity of themes, and because of the considerable productivity of this dramatist, the analyses of the style and substance of these comedies have often been focused on the use of themes or techniques employed in a single comedy or associated with one single sort of comedy. This thesis, "Farce, critique sociale, et ccm6die morale chez Moliere," proposes to deepen, in two ways, our appreciation of Moliere's combined use of themes and techniques that, in turn, create three sorts of comic modes. First, through a close reading of three of Moliere's major plays (Le medecin malgre lul, Les Precieuses ridicules, and Misanthrope), this thesis attempts to describe the techniques that develop and elucidate a particular comic focus, and thereby enhances our awareness of Moliere's recognition of the necessary relationship between theme and technique in the creation of comedy. The description of this use of comic techniques and the subsequent development of themes encourage classification of these representative plays into three sorts: farce, social comedy, and moral comedy. Such a classification thus expands the narrow perspective of criticism, and encourages a study of the necessary relationship between theme and technique and, perhaps, will suggest future study of the development of Moliere's comic artistry. / Department of Foreign Languages
