從六○到八○年代台灣言情小說敘事的發展，從瓊瑤的純愛言情敘事到廖輝英、蕭颯等人的社會言情敘事，展現對於愛情、親情的各種層面，以及社會變遷、傳統倫理、與人際關係之間的種種糾葛，言情敘事這個類型隨著社會的變遷發展愈發地豐富多元。女作家所創作的言情敘事成為書巿暢銷的寵兒，並迅速地在文化場域累積聲譽、作品的知名度，進而成為大眾媒體──影視，競相改編的素材。本文試圖以瓊瑤、廖輝英、蕭颯三人的言情小說被改編成電影為例，其小說文本皆觸及傳統價值觀與現代婚戀觀之間的矛盾掙扎，具備言情通俗的敘事元素，而在小說被改編的電影裏，其視覺化的空間，如何將現代性的想像，異國的情調，飄泊離散的心緒與言情敘事綰合在一起，並且成為推動電影敘事的重要元素。
