3705 Theme and Genre in "Du Tenth Sinks the Jewel Box in Anger". This paper will argue that the story "Du Tenth Sinks the Jewel Box in Anger" exhibits the generic conventions of vernacular stories. Its narrator functions like a popular storyteller, breaking into the action to comment or judge, and generally maintaining a chatty, oral folkstory tone within the form of a written text. However, as will be seen, in its theme interest the story also echoes the preoccupations of its era. Ming China in the seventeenth century was a world dominated by urban mercantile culture. Thus, even in a story of romance and love such as "Du Tenth Sinks the Jewel Box in Anger" there is a preoccupation with commerce and exchange, and even love is shown to have a price. 6 pgs.
