争荣夸耀人皆谤 温柔和顺岂同嫌——袭人形象解读

Analysis of Slavishness and Flaunting in Xiren's Character

文章尝试运用荣格集体无意识理论中的“人格面具”这一原型解读袭人性格中长期受人诋毁的“奴性”及其“争荣夸耀”之心,并通过细读文本,试图找出证据说明袭人因晴雯之死所蒙受的冤屈,以期对该人物形象作一相对合理的评价。

This paper analyses slavishness and flaunting in Xiren＇s character with Carl Gustav Jung＇s collective unconsciousness theory of personality mask. Through reading the book in details, this paper also tries to find out evidence to prove that Xiren suffered from injustice due to Qingwen＇s death in order to give her a relatively ration estimation.
