Maurice Maeterlinck(1862-1949)is a Belgian playwright,poet and essayist.He won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1911.His unique concept of drama set him on a different path from the traditional one,and influenced many later playwrights,directors and even musicians.His drama and drama theory added new vitality to the symbolic drama,expanded the performance time and space of drama and the depth and breadth of drama theory,which has important academic value.Maeterlinck's drama narration of time and space has its own unique views on the inheritance of predecessors.The overall narration of space and time in his plays has the following characteristics: realistic space and time coexist with illusory space and time;dynamic space and static space coexist;visible space and time coincide with invisible space and time.The space and time narration of Maeterlinck's drama has had a profound influence on other narrative elements.First,as a stage art,the space and time narration of drama has an obvious effect on the elements of dance beauty,such as setting,lighting and sound.Secondly,different time and space narration influences the language of the characters,making the language play a unique role in shaping the characters' characters and promoting the plots of the stories.Thirdly,different time and space narration plays an important role in narrative rhythm,which determines the pace of drama and reflects the theme and creative idea of drama.The time and space narration of Maeterlinck's drama contains the philosophical meditation and aesthetic thought of the playwright.The characters in the drama are unable to understand and comprehend the signs conveyed by the invisible space and time,and cannot escape the control of mysterious forces and destiny arrangement,which indicates the playwright's pessimism and mysticism about the future of human beings.The drama describes the tragedy of daily life with a peaceful dramatic tone,profoundly reflects the essence of daily life,and presents the playwright's static drama theory and the aesthetic thought reflecting the essence of life.Maeterlinck's "soul" aesthetic thought highlights the mystery and powerful power of the spiritual world,and the information contained in the soul is closely linked to people's life,life and future,forming an all-embracing space-time narrative.The narration of time and space in Maeterlinck's drama broadens the artistic scope of the presentation of time and space in drama and adds diversity and possibility to the forms of expression of time and space narration.The combination of time and space narration of drama and the idea of Maeterlinck's drama makes drama as a whole distinctive in ideology,artistry and innovation,which is unique and unique in the development history of western drama and shows its important ideological value and theoretical significance.
