契訶夫作品中的治療者形象

Abstract

安東﹒契訶夫（AHTOH ПaвлиЧ Чexoв，1860－1904）是眾所周知的醫生作家，醫治病人與文學創作是他生命中的兩大重心。由於職業使然，契訶夫對於生老病死的體會較一般人來得多，也因行醫接觸各階層與年齡的人，這些都為他的文學創作提供絕佳的題材。作家在作品中描繪形形色色的人物，其中一部分是他的同行－醫生。本文則試圖探討契訶夫作品中的治療者形象，而不侷限於「醫生」的形象，是因為契訶夫的作品中，提供醫療照護者，除了醫生之外，還有使用民俗療法與同類療法的治療者。儘管後者在他的作品中所佔比例相當少，但若略過不提，將無法獲得其作品中治療者形象的全貌。

Chekhov depicts all kinds of people, including his colleagues-doctors.This article focuses on the images of healers, not just doctors`, in Chekhov`s works. Since in his creations, there is not only doctor, but also folk remedist and homeopathist, providing medical care.
