有講到重要劇情。
很簡單但是很有韻味的一個劇本,
描述一名前工業時期的蘇格蘭村姑發現了文學的語言、文字的力量以及上帝的偉大,
然後殺了她的丈夫:p
(好好一個劇本被我講得這麼聳動0rz)
很有意思,最喜歡作者從頭到尾不說這村姑的名字。
(但是是刻意不講的:)
(情境:村姑到磨坊去,磨坊主人是個怪人,沒事就在寫字讀書,
村姑覺得寫字很邪惡,因為它讓人不去記憶,
而且她也討厭筆和紙這種浪費的邪惡發明,
磨坊主人激她,說她明明就是文盲,
村姑說她不是(她學字是用粉筆和黑板),磨坊主人就要她寫字證明,
她雖然怕磨坊主人把她的字拿去作法之類的,但是硬是嚥不下這口氣,就答應了。)
Yound Woman: What you wanting, miller?
Gilbert: ... Your name.
[Silence. Finally she comes to the table. He pushes paper towards her.]
Young Woman: No tricks.
Gilbert: None.
[She has difficulty mastering the pen. Resolute.]
Young Woman: Show you I'm no dung-brain.
[She holds the paper up so he can read.]
Gilbert: Tell you what, horse-wife. You're beautifully named.
(Harrower, 1997: 21)
