 note = {application/pdf, 紀要論文, One of the remarkable conventions within the English Renaissance was the dramatic practice that women’s roles were played by actors defined as ‘boys’, who were considered to be immature as their sex/gender had not yet developed fully to adulthood. In this paper, I will first illustrate the representations of the Virgin Mary and Eve in early Modern Protestant England, with a special emphasis on a virgo, a woman of inviolate chastity, and a virago, an Amazon-like saviour. Within patriarchal society, it is men who must maintain control of female bodies because of the male fear that all women are rabidly sexual creatures. After the　Reformation, the concept of virginity was developed and the importance of wives’faithfulness was advocated. My focus is on virgin characters who repudiate marriage and enter the patriarchy system unwillingly, such as Moll Frith, a virago character in The Roaring Girl written by Middleton and Dekker. These female characters occupy an uneasy position within the drama, and at the same time what the character symbolizes was forbidden in the society of the period. I will also explore how boy actors, who are crossing the sex/gender boundary of the period, function in order to represent these women.},
