摘 要:Edward Bond’s rather controversial play Lear which is saturated with profound dialectical insights marks a critical point of departure in his whole artistic *** from the lens of duality,this paper examines the significant role assumed by duality in Bond’s dramatic creation through three dimensions,namely,the characteristic complexity,the dramatic strategy and the political ***’s illustrative interpretation of duality embodied in the play Lear manifests his bitter critique towards the conventional binary system of value criterion as well as the outmoded social morality,but also adheres consistently to his fundamental artistic principle as a Marxist,that is,to educate his audiences by the means of literature,and,hereby,to effect practical changes in society.
