16세기 영국 유대인에 대한 문화담론과 크리스토퍼 말로우의 극적 재현: 『몰타의 유대인』

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In The Jew of Malta, Christopher Marlowe didn’t simply repeat anti-Judaic prejudices which had been constructed in a malicious intent in the course of shaping up the Western-Christian self-fashioning. Marlowe, with his bold and aggressive personality, certainly delivered dangerous messages on both Judaism and Christianity to his spectators. As an atheist who often derided the virgin birth of Jesus, Marlowe, on his stage, brought up impious questions on the self-righteousness Christian doctrine and behaviors. However, he still dramatizes the conventional stereotypes of devilish jews through Barabas who commits horrible evil conducts. Barabas’ atrocious crime scenes could meet the spectators’ expectation on the contemporary Senecan tragic trend as well as avoiding the censorship on the play’s problematic context.
Marlowe criticizes Christian hypocrisies through Brabas’ bold and fair questions. However, since Jews in the 16th-century England were not existing danger in real, the possibly dangerous messages might be within the limit of cultural tolerance. Those messages were solely left to spectators’ understanding. Despite the play’s rather careful and partial approach to the uncomfortable matters on anti-Judaism, it provides a rare case of hearing the Jewish views on the anti-Judaism in the era. Barabas becomes both the representative of Jewish voices and the stereotypes of Adversus Judeos.
