本文旨在先建構〈蛇郎君〉故事的主要情節，再以臺灣〈蛇郎君〉故事（含異文）為出發點，對於「連續變形」的部分探究定位，再將〈蛇郎君〉故事中的變形物群統攝在「食、衣、住、行」四大層面，可窺知本土文化的滲入，包舉節慶飲食、民間俗信，以及傳統家庭婚姻等文化肌理。又研究視域聚焦在傳統婚姻家庭中女性身分之定位，以及傳統社會結構對女性之期待。其中〈蛇郎君〉故事的最後情節常與「螺女型」、「巧媳婦妙對無理問型」結合的現象，得出結論即〈蛇郎君〉故事或許隱喻一位困陷在傳統父權婚姻社會下的女性，從「成妻」到「成媳」心路歷程的展演，更體現父權體系下女性為妻的典範要求──巧媳婦形象。

This paper aims to focus on three aspects. The first one is to construct the main plots of the Taiwanese story Snake Husband, and then to discuss the part on Change Shape based on this story with Different Editions included. The last part is to classify each object in the deformable group into the four categories: Eating, Clothing, Housing, and Traffic, in order to analyze traditional Chinese culture, for example, food and festival, beliefs, marriage, and traditional Chinese family. In addition, this paper also focuses on female’s status in Chinese traditional family, and how female is expected to behave under the traditional structure of Chinese society. The ending of Snake Husband is usually combined with Field-Snail Woman and Question Answered by Absurd Counterquestion. This is perhaps a metaphor to indicate that women need to be not only wives but also daughters-in-law under Chinese traditional society and that women are forced to fit in the figure of Clever Daughter-in-Law under the patriarchal society.
