布莱希特的“叙述体戏剧”事实上并非是把戏剧完全变为一种“叙述体”样式,而是要将小说的一些叙述因素放到戏剧中来,正如某些文学家将一些戏剧性因素放到小说中一样,两者目的都是为使作品更好地发挥揭示社会现实的作用。布莱希特赋予了戏剧这种艺术样式太多太重的社会责任,从而使戏剧艺术本质与戏剧艺术的表现方法颠倒,导致“本末倒置”。 Brecht’s “narrative drama” is not actually a complete transformation of drama into a “narrative style,” but instead puts some of the novel’s narrative elements into play, just as certain literary The family places some dramatic elements in the novel, both of which aim at making the work better to reveal the social reality. Brecht gives the social responsibility of drama, too much artistic style, so that the essence of dramatic art and the performance of dramatic arts can be reversed, leading to “putting the cart before the horse”.
