Abstract

This essay examines Carson’s The Trojan Women: A Comic, a 2021 translation of Euripides illustrated by Rosanna Bruno. Carson’s subtitle, through the intersection of classical and modern senses of “the comic” as a genre, demands that the reader ask of her book: What is the place of comedy in a comic about one of the bleakest plays in the Western canon? The comic elements of The Trojan Women reframe Euripides’ narrative and underscore, in a bitter irony, the disastrous impact on the Greeks of the reconciliation of the gods Athena and Poseidon.

卡森《特洛伊妇女》中的喜剧:喜剧
这篇文章探讨了卡森的《特洛伊妇女》:漫画》是由罗珊娜-布鲁诺绘制插图的欧里庇得斯 2021 年译本。卡森的副标题通过古典和现代意义上的 "喜剧 "这一体裁的交叉,要求读者对她的书提出疑问:在一部关于西方戏剧史上最悲惨剧作之一的漫画中,喜剧的地位何在?特洛伊妇女》中的喜剧元素重构了欧里庇得斯的叙事,以辛辣的讽刺手法强调了雅典娜神与波塞冬神的和解给希腊人带来的灾难性影响。
