การสร้างอารมณ์สะเทือนใจในบทละครเรื่องอิเหนา พระราชนิพนธ์ในรัชกาลที่ 2

Abstract

The thesis aims at studying the process of creating emotion in Inao of King Rama II in an attempt to prove that the creation of emotion in the characterization, dialogue and setting is a distinctive literary value of the text. The study reveals that the creation of emotion in Inao is evident in three elements : characterization, dialogue and setting. These three elements are well integrated and well unified. The use of powerful language conveys powerful feelings whereas the use of metaphor conveys vivid and exquisite imagery. These two literary devices give the reader marvellous impression of the characters as well as the dialoge and the setting. Setting. Thus the reader, delighted and moved by the beauty of the characters, is drawn to feel sympathy with them in all their joys and sufferings. The lively dialogue and the exquisite setting also enhance the moving beauty of the story as a whole. This well designed process of the creation of emotion in Inao is undoubtedly an evidence of the greatness of Inao as one of the most cherished gem in Thai poetry.
