課程欲透過古典小說來一窺古今社會及人性的同與異，並結合時事或相關議題來加強每則故事的論點，同時思考與現今社會有何不同。是否有些事情儘管時空變化，但情節仍是不斷循環？而我們又該如何在故事中找到學習或引以為鑑的部份呢？所以本學期將從「我」、「愛情態度及分手藝術」、「社會百態」三個角度切入，透過小說的詮釋，再藉由課堂的分析、討論，希望可以吸取其中的養分，作為日後我們在面臨這些人生重要課題時的參考。同時藉由這些主題的呈現，學會由不同的角度及站在他人的立場來思考、分析問題，以增進自我對文學及人生的多種想法。

The course aims to use classical novels to gain a glimpse of the similarities and differences between ancient and modern society and human nature. It also combines current events or related issues to strengthen the argument of each story, while thinking about how it is different from today's society. Are there some things that continue to cycle despite changes in time and space? And how do we find parts of the story that we can learn from or draw lessons from? Therefore, this semester will approach it from three perspectives: "I", "Love Attitudes and the Art of Breaking Up", and "Society". Through the interpretation of the novel, and through the analysis and discussion in the classroom, we hope to absorb the nutrients and use it as a reference when we face these important issues in life in the future. At the same time, through the presentation of these themes, students can learn to think and analyze problems from different perspectives and from the perspective of others, so as to enhance their own ideas about literature and life.
