成英姝是台灣新世代女作家中的「黑色女王」，她擅用誇張詼諧的手法，呈現各種現代人在後現代社會的荒謬存在處境，書寫荒謬的主題。在她的小說裡，暴力一直是其中頗為常見卻難解的元素，從早期的詼諧式暴力，到後期殘酷的暴力美學，形成她的小說中獨特的暴力敘事，這樣的創作特徵是值得關注的。因此，本文想要探究成英姝小說中的暴力，與小說人物各種荒謬的存在處境有何關係？成英姝如何藉暴力凸顯荒謬的主題？暴力敘事的模式與作用為何，以及其所代表的意義是什麼？這些問題將是理解成英姝小說的荒謬主題與暴力敘事的重要關鍵。本文除了闡明暴力敘事在成英姝小說中的意義，也會論及其思想的矛盾性，並釐清成英姝小說的荒謬主題與現代主義和後現代主義的關聯，為其創作定位做一說明。

Cheng Ying-Shu is the “Queen of Darkness” of the new generation of Taiwanese writers. She is an expert in using exaggerating humor to express the modern absurd environment and writing about themes of absurdity. In her novels, violence has always been the common and puzzling element. The comic violence in her early works and the cruel aesthetic of violence in her late works made the violent narratives of Cheng’s novels unique and worthy of further research. Therefore, this paper intends to explore the relationship between the violence and the absurd situations of characters, the highlight of themes of absurdity, the presentation and role of violence, and the meaning of violent narrative. These questions will be the keys in understanding the themes of absurdity and violence in Cheng’s novels. In addition to exploring the connotations of the violence narratives in Cheng’s novels, this article points out the contradictions within her thought. Clarifications of the connections of Cheng’s theme of absurdity to both modernism and post-modernism, thus the positioning of her works, are also undertaken.
