本文旨在探討莎士比亞在其早期的敘事詩--露克麗絲的強暴--中所吐露的悲劇理念。湯馬斯賽蒙曾說，在該首詩中莎士比亞首次論及他的悲劇理論。更精確的說，那只是賽蒙自己的悲劇理論，因為莎士比亞不似亞里斯多德把他的悲劇理論筆諸於書，故以往每位批評家從本詩中所得到的莎翁悲劇觀都不盡相同。傳統閱讀經驗裡，僅只透過本首詩和莎翁四大悲劇表面的雷同及戲劇上的相似，粗略檢視露克麗絲的強暴。筆者企圖借助女性主義，形式主義，及心理主義各自關懷的重點，將本詩視為包含有豐富莎翁悲劇主題及悲劇意像的方式來閱讀。
本文共分為一篇序言及五篇章幅。序言總括的介紹各方學者對本詩的評價，列舉本詩的幾種閱讀方式，以及筆者對主題研究所欲採取的觀點與方法。首章試圖依據不同種類的衝突、矛盾來探討呈現在露克麗絲中的莎士比亞悲劇概念。第貳章討論邪惡真實存在背後所隱藏的哲學意含，與本詩中邪惡所具有的幾項特徵。第三章剖析男主角塔昆的內心。強調他具有莎士比亞悲劇英雄所特有的分裂心智。第四章描繪女主角露克麗絲所承受的痛苦，並且探索在她非應得的苦難中和怎樣的一個世界秩序產生關聯。最後一章論述女主角身為古羅馬人所必然採取悲劇死亡的行動為本詩畫下句點，同時亦探討潛藏於露克麗絲心湖中激烈的女姓復仇願望。 / In the thesis, I aim to delineate Shakespeare's concept of tragedy as revealed in The Rape of Lucrece. R.T. Simone remarked that in the poem Shakespeare states for the first time his theory of tragedy. To be exact, it is Simone's theory of tragedy because Shakespeare has never written a theory of tragedy as Aristotle has. So, the tragic visions that critics acquire from this poem are not altogether in accordance with each other. Traditionally, it is examined roughly by analyzing the external resemblance or dramatic parallels between Lucrece and his Great Four. I intend to read the poem as a storehouse of Shakespeare's tragic subjects and imagery with the assistance of feminist, formalistic, and psychological concerns.
My thesis is composed of an introduction and five chapters. The part of introduction sums up scholarly evaluations and various readings as well as includes the perspective I would apply to this research on the topic. In Chapter One, I would like to scrutinize Shakespear's concept of tragedy in Lucrece in the light of different kinds of conflicts. In Chapter Two, I will discuss philosophical implications behind the existence of evil and several features of evil. Chapter Three dissects the mental state of Tarquin. An emphasis is put on his divided mind that characterizes Shakespear's tragic figures. The fourth chapter delineates the suffering of Lucrece, the victim, and explores its significance in relation to a world order. The last chapter will concentrate on the pagan heroine's necessary action that ends up in a tragic death and explores the violent undercurrent of female revenge.
