中西文化语境中的女性命运

The Women's Destiny in the Chinese and Western Cultural Context

鲁迅的《娜拉出走后怎么办》,让读者看到了鲁迅和易卜生在不同文化背景和价值取向下对女性解放及其命运的不同理解。娜拉的反抗被鲁迅从社会整体性去理解,显得尤其弱小与无奈。鲁迅更强调社会整体改变是女性解放和出路的基本前提保障,因此判给社会承担更多的责任。而易卜生从西方个性文化的角度强调个体觉悟与反抗的重要性。二位作家的不同选择看似纯主观的活动,但更具有内在的文化必然性。

From Lu Xun＇s ＂ After Nara Leaves Home ＂, readers can sense the different understandings of women＇s liberation and destiny by Lu Xun and Henrick Ibsen due to their different cultural backgrounds and values. As far as Lu Xun is concerned, he interprets Nara＇s revolt from the society as a whole, so her revolt is weak and has no alternative. Lu emphasizes that the change of the society as a whole is the basic prerequisite for women＇s liberation and way out and accordingly society should shoulder more responsibilities. Ibsen, by contrast, emphasizes the importance of individual＇s awareness and revolt from the western individual culture. Two writers＇ selections seem to be a purely subjective activity, but are internally determined by culture.
