About This Novel
What needs to be expressed on the stage is the situation, not the character. The masterpiece of drama by Diderot, the outstanding French Enlightenment thinker, is the culmination of Diderot's drama creation thoughts. "The Dramas of Diderot" is the eighth volume of the "Collected Works of Diderot" and contains three representative works of Diderot's plays - "The Bastard or the Test of Morality", "Head of the Family" and "Is He a Good Man?" Or a villain? ", And a talk about theater - "A Talk About." Among them, "The Bastard" tells the story of Dorval, an illegitimate son who was invited by Clavier and his sister to stay at their home. During this period, Doval fell deeply in love with Clavier's fiancée Rosalie, and was tortured by his conscience for this. "A Conversation About" explains Diderot's thoughts on drama creation through the dialogue and debate between Doval and Diderot, the male protagonists of "The Bastard". Diderot's "serious drama" - "People cannot always be happy without pain, so there must be a middle ground between comedy and tragedy" - advocates no longer focusing on myths and historical legends, but getting the source of life from the joys and sorrows of ordinary people.
