다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Alongside the drama of the court and academy there grew up another quite different form, Commedia dell'arte. It was actor-centered, improvied and adaptable to almost any playing condition.
The actor was the heart of commedia dell'arte and almost the only essential element. The script was a scenario which merely outlined the principal action and its outcome. The actors improvised the dialogue and developed the complications as the situation seemed to demand.
The same set of stock characters appeared in all the plays performed by a single troupe, and the same actor always played the same role. The typical characters may be divied into three categories : lovers, masters, and servants.
There are many theories about the origin of commedia dell'arte. Some scholars argue that it was descened directly from the Atellan farce of Rome, and that after the fall of Rome actors preserved traditions which sprang back into prominence when times became more favorable. There are similarities in physical appearance and basic traits among some of the commedia stock figures and those of Atellan farce, but there is no positive evidnece to prove any direct connection between them.
The commedia actors played for all types of audiences and produced a genuinely popular theatrical form. Many troupes ere invited to play at the courts, but they were equally at home in the market place or at fairs ; they at times performed regular drama, but wrer more famous for their improvised scripts.
After public theatres began to the built in Italy in the seventeenth centry, the troupes made use of them, and scenarios were written to take advantage of perspective scenery, machinery, and special effects.
The commedia exerted considerable influence on a number of later writers, perhaps most notably moliere in France.
The renewed interest in classical drama, the development of the picture-frame seage, perspective scenery, elaborate machinery for special effects and scene shifting, opera, and commedia dell'arteall of these products of the Italian Renaissance were to be important influences on the theatre of later times.
