本文以戲劇內容的比較來論述戲劇如何反映當代e世代的社會情況，作為文化展演及感覺社會脈動。在e世代中，媒體深切地影響戲劇研究與觀眾接受。本文以高級菁英文化裡的莎學(莎士比亞戲劇研究)，尤其針對莎劇《威尼斯商人》，輔以電影英國BBC《馴悍記》，與大眾通俗文化中的台灣電視劇《犀利人妻》為例。申論e世代媒體中的戲劇，如何反映當代社會脈動--從十七世紀莎劇《馴悍記》中的馴妻，到改編成現代舞台劇豫莎劇《約/束》中的馴夫，再轉變到2011年電視劇《犀利人妻》中鼓勵主角走出婚變，活出快樂自我。e世代科技協助戲劇研究，戲劇作為瞭解當代思想與再現文化的重要媒介之一。從e-化社會的角度，重新量度當代戲劇研究的本質與轉化。

This paper explores how drama reflects the contemporary social situation in the “e-generation”, by the comparison of the three plays, to serve as cultural performance and feel the social impulse. In the information society, media deeply influence theater studies and the audience reception. This article examines the three drama cases, from the high elite culture to the popular culture, including Shakespeare's plays The Taming of the Shrew, aided by the BBC's film The Taming of the Shrew, The Merchant of Venice, and the TV soap opera series The Fierce Wife in Taiwan. This paper argues that drama as a medium reflects contemporary society and social realities--from the “taming of the wife” in Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew in the seventeenth century, to “taming of the husband” in Bond in the modern Yu-Shakespeare stage performance, and finally to change to “live happily after divorce” in the year 2011 The Fierce Wife TV soap opera. This paper concludes e-generation technology aids theater studies, and drama as one of the important media helps understand contemporary thought and represent culture. From the perspective of e-society, this paper re-measures the contemporary theater research's essence and transformation.
