摘要 本文以紀德根據盾徽所提出之內在重複結構，探討美國劇作家山姆謝普的「家庭劇三部曲」。〈烈火家園〉結尾的預言故事說明了家庭成員互相毀滅的行為模式，〈埋葬的孩子〉劇中所揭發的弒子秘密與舞台上的演出相對應，〈西部實錄〉劇中的西部電影大綱正是男主角兄弟鬩牆之爭的寫照。
Chapter I relates the American playwright Sam Shepard’s life and career. Chapter II introduces the evolution of the idea of "mise en abyme." Chapter III interprets the concluding fable in "Curse of the Starving Class" as the mise en abyme of the play. Chapter IV interprets the secret of the child murder as the duplication of the action of "Buried Child" on stage. Chapter V interprets the Western scenario in "True West" as a reflection of the two brothers’ sibling rivalry in the play.
