Earticle

초록

영어

Aristophanes' comedy, Wasps, disclosed the court jury’s malicious judgement against powerless citizens at the Athens court in the 5th century BC. Also, the work openly satirized the jury’s faithful commitment to instigaitve power. Wasps accused the corrupt trial system by satire and disclosure and scolded the tyranny of misappropriating the city's tax revenues for the benefit of individuals in power. The theatrical treatment of concepts of satire, revelation, accusation, and derision in the work went beyond imagination and fantasy and encouraged Athenian audiences to cheerfully cultivate the cognitive consciousness of reality criticism. The dramatic action of satire and revelation in this work was a performance that rebuked the wrong practice of corrupt political power while comically narrating an aspect of contemporary trial system. This paper gives a brief look at an aspect of the trial system conceived in the addiction of power and Aristophanes’ theatrical ways of resisting the tyranny of corrupt political power by textual analysis.
