岳飛領兵抗金，為國抵禦外侮，卻終落得下獄身死的下場，其一生經歷傳奇，為人所關注。岳飛以彪炳功勳卻為奸臣秦檜所陷而置身死一事，尤其打動人心，令人忿忿不平，也因此成為戲曲作品取材時的重點。針對岳飛的冤獄，除寄予同情與表達憤怒外，也試圖制裁造成冤獄的兇手，使得他們獲得因有的懲罰，以達成惡有惡報，善有善報的道德指標，因此有關秦檜冥報的戲曲作品，成為岳飛戲的大宗。然僅有消極的惡有惡報，尚不足以圓滿民眾心中對岳飛遭遇的遺憾，於是徹底改寫歷史，扼殺冤獄於為形成前的戲曲作品應運而生。本文就目前可考之岳飛主題戲曲，對於其中如何面對岳飛冤獄與未能驅逐金虜等不圓滿所造成的遺憾，採取何種方式來療癒傷痛，作一爬梳整理，可發現岳飛戲面對歷史上的遺憾，以秦檜死後遭冥報劇情為大宗，雖有積極補恨翻案歷史的情節，但卻未如前者成為經典劇碼，搬演至今。
