<威尼斯商人>中的物質宰制 / The Force of Objects in The Merchant of Venice

莎劇<威尼斯商人>已被廣泛地從種族、性別和宗教等角度討論。然而這些非物質的角度並無法全然地描繪全劇。劇中有許多物件,並且深深地影響著劇中的角色們。這篇論文將試著探索物件和人們之間的關係,以三種人與人之間的關係來著手:猶太人和基督徒、父母親和子女以及愛情和友誼。很明顯的,在劇中,角色和物件之間的關係密不可分,甚至物件的力量會高過人們,進而產生控制。維根斯坦以聖奧古斯丁的論點來做為他的語言哲學的開端:語言以物件命名為基礎。但維根斯坦認為語言的運用並不全然建立在為物件命名,而是在不同的情境之下使用且產生不同的意義,換言之,語言重要的目的不是表達意義,而是在情境中發揮功能。而這樣使用語言的方式,描繪了人們的生活形式(Form of Life)。在劇中,物件在不同的情境之下有著不同的意義。由於戲劇能夠反映人生,因此透過探索劇中物件與角色間的關係,可以反映出人們的真實生活抑是和物件密不可分,也反映出人們的生活形式。 / The Merchant of Venice has long been discussed with the view of race, gender and religion. These immaterial aspects, however, are not able to depict the totality of the play. There are many material objects in the play, those objects which strongly involved in characters’ relationships. The thesis aims to explore when people grant force on objects and objects act upon people in return by examining objects in the play. The importance of objects can be found in three relationships: Shylock and Christianity, parents and children, love and friendship. It is obvious that objects function diversely in different situation and objects do have influence on characters. Ludwig Wittgenstein starts his linguistic philosophy with St. Augustin’s observation: the use of languages starts from naming objects. However, Wittgenstein thinks that languages function in activities, so we should consider the function of language within activities of life instead of an abstract meaning. The way people use languages can be seen as participating in activities which presents the form of life. Similarly, objects function differently in activities and have diverse impact on characters. Drama is formed by many activities and reflects people’s life. Through finding the importance of characters and objects in The Merchant of Venice, the result can reflect people’s real form of life.
