摘要
本研究旨在调查希腊民间故事中恶魔女性的形象及其在反映社会对女性的看法方面的意义。我们选取了希腊出版业的 17 个版本的民间故事作为主要原始资料,并采用内容分析法进行分析。我们以凶残、恶意、野蛮、邪恶和丑陋等负面价值观为标准,研究了恶魔女性的外貌和性格。弗拉基米尔-普罗普(Vladimir Propp)的《形态学》(Morphologie du conte,1970 年)是研究妖妇的素质,如姓名、出身、社会地位、年龄、外部特征和外貌特征的参考书。我们还关注了女魔头的行为以及与男女主人公的关系,以突出其内心世界的可怕之处。本研究揭示了希腊民间故事中恶魔般的女性形象如何揭示了社会和传统对女性性别的假设。我们的研究结果旨在展示希腊民间故事中恶魔女性的不同面貌,并呈现恶魔的集体表征。
Who’s the scariest of them all? Depictions of evil women in Greek folktales
This study aims to investigate the portrayal of demonic women in Greek folktales and their significance in reflecting societal perceptions of femininity. We selected 17 editions of folktales in the Greek publishing industry as our primary source material and utilized content analysis as our method of analysis. Negative values such as ferocity, malice, brutality, wickedness, and ugliness were used as criteria to study the demonic woman's external appearance and personality. Vladimir Propp’s Morphologie du conte (1970) served as a reference for examining the demonic woman's qualities such as name, origin, social position, age, external characteristics, and peculiarity of her appearance. We also focused on the demonic woman's actions and relationship with the hero/heroine to highlight the terrifying aspects of her inner world. The study sheds light on how the representation of demonic femininity in Greek folktales reveals societal and traditional assumptions about female gender. Our findings aim to demonstrate the different faces of the diabolical women in Greek folktales and present a collective representation of the demonic.
