셰익스피어의 여성 구현 : 미랜다

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Shakespeare depicts various woman characters in his dramas. The characters reflect the magical women Shakespeare forges over through his comedies and tragedies as a blacksmith does to refashion a thing. Miranda is the last woman character Shakespeare reforged in his last sole-authored play, Tempest. She is an embodied human being by Shakespeare's magical pen, rather than a hackneyed woman in the Shakespearean era.
For the readers in the beginning of the twenty-first century, the essence of Miranda is that she is an independent and progressive woman who transcends gender, teaches her tutor more than being taught. On the other words, she as a natural woman is a 'tutor' who teaches the intellectuals of the world, just like Prospera who symbolizes the flower of culture. The power Miranda has is not an artificial power like Prospero's which is derived from knowledge and intelligence, but a natural one which grows without any help, which is based on altruism, not on egoism or self-centered. Miranda has Prospero realize what is working on and what he is doing with his magic.
Miranda seems to be an ideal woman in the world where the racial, cultural, religious conflict is surging forth. She is the woman who merges various cultures to 'brave new world' with an outlook on the world, which takes human beings with conflicts to be 'goodly creatures' and 'brave men' rather than excludes them, and the world with conflicts to be 'brave new world'.
