【移動的樂聲】爵士長笛手張瑛蘭 談長笛演奏人生的音樂探索之旅與可能

Act.23 渴望成為情婦的女人 4-2:就算是有人聽我的歌會流淚
這集,我們要繼續來看哀綠綺思死不想跟阿伯拉結婚、成為妻子的原因。 你可以發現,哀綠綺思最在意的,無非是自己的情慾是否夠刺激、愛情是否夠自由,還有阿伯拉的事業和才華是否能不受婚姻家庭阻礙,最大化地發展。 可是,作為同樣才氣縱橫的女子,哀綠綺思似乎從來沒考量過自己的才華是否得以全盤發揮,彷彿她把畢生成就期待,都押在阿伯拉的功成名就之上。 而這正是問題所在。 #本集包含歌曲,請至KKBOX收聽完整曲目。 ●本集大綱 - 拒絕女僕告白的阿伯拉,換來被閹割的下場 - 妻子總是知道,丈夫和自己在一起是因為別無選擇? - 犯賤和虐戀作為某種剛需,是穩定婚姻無法給予的? - 單純只是「久久才能見一次面」使婚外情永保新鮮? - 婚姻孩子會讓才子偏離目標,等等,那才女自己呢? - 那些將景仰轉為激情、以肉體滋養天才才情的女人? - 真正害怕被婚姻束縛才華的,也許是哀綠綺思自己? - 拒絕哀綠綺思愛意的阿伯拉,真的是自私的渾蛋嗎? ●本集參考資料 - 片頭曲目:〈不必在乎我是誰〉,《不必在乎我是誰》林憶蓮,1993 - 參考書目:《情婦》,Victoria Griffin,藍鯨出版,2001 《阿伯拉與哀綠綺思的情書》,梁實秋,九歌出版,1987 《情婦史(下卷)》,Elizabeth Abbott,時報出版,2015 ●波瑟芬妮粉專連結:https://www.facebook.com/pershephone.numerology/ ●命理諮詢預約連結:https://forms.gle/1ZPbCLYviKX4g8ax9 ●若想匿名留言給我:https://forms.gle/JVUp4BQKbHJE3efs6 ●若對本節目有疑慮,請收聽及參考第0集「Act.00 艷段:在展開地獄探險之前」的聲明內容。 🍎由於本節目目前為無商業收入之製作(aka我做節目不會有任何收入,所以還要兼職其他有給工作)。如果你希望可以長期且穩定收聽到本節目,歡迎你「包養」本節目,支持我有更多時間可以專心做podcast。 「包養」方案有二。你可以選擇「一次性援助」(金額隨喜),或選擇「月付贍養費」(每個月100元/共12個月)贊助,成為本節目的乾爹/乾媽。 「包養」連結如下 💍定期贊助:https://p.ecpay.com.tw/C03D1EC 💍單次贊助:https://p.ecpay.com.tw/CFF4183 --- ●背景音樂版權 巴赫:A小調長笛獨奏組曲作品1013 Bach:Partita in A minor, BWV 1013 演奏者:Paula Robison 來源:Musopen https://musopen.org/zh-hant/music/3780-partita-in-a-minor-bwv-1013/ Powered by Firstory Hosting
