| Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 大眾傳播學系碩士班 === 101 === This dissertation is written in the light of original Taiwan musical. From four shows about people how to face death in Taiwan, I tried to observe the social opinion from analyzing the text and interviewing the show directors.The study shows that original Taiwan musical didn''t have a clear uniqueness in what we called "musical". But it still shows us some peculiar interests like taking things more positive and caring about the emotions.
On the other hand, there are still some old illnesses as metaphor in Taiwan-- including the military metaphor of cancer or accusing HIV of moral argument. Though as we can see in the show, the problems about the representations of these social images are solved in a positive way, but it also shows us that people still act biasedly to these groups, and it causes the consequence that we can not free them from prejudices in the course of time.
At last, about the latent capacity of musical in Taiwan. It could be a better way to take Broadway musical as a model, and find out what makes us unique through our culture. And, in that way, we will know how to tell exact our story.
