出走堕落的娜拉——《沉香屑·第一炉香》与《日出》比较

Run Away Nora Degraded——A Comparison between Crumbs of Ligumaloes——the First Incense Burnt and Sunrise

张爱玲的《沉香屑.第一炉香》和曹禺的《日出》,都给我们讲述了一个女性出走后堕落的故事,但是这两个故事恰好前后承接,互为文本,演绎了女性出走后,因经济原因受诱惑而堕落,在堕落中必然走向死亡的全过程,由此传达了两位作者对女性问题的不同思考。

Both Crumbs of Ligumaloes — the First Incense Burnt by Zhang Ailing and Sunrise by Cao Yu tell the story of a lady running away from home and becoming degraded. However, these stories happen to be sequel in texts one to the other in describing the tragic situations of the female characters, in which beth go degraded because of economic reasons and consequently die in that status. Both writers convey different thinking on the issue of women folk.
