薛宝钗形象评价摭谈

On XUE Bao-chai's Image Appraisal

关于薛宝钗的评价,读者、评者喜欢置她于林黛玉对立的立场上,把她说成是封建意识的卫道士,说她是处心积虑地谋夺宝二奶奶宝座的人。其实,无论推究作者的构思,还是研析书中的实际描写,薛宝钗始终是作者着力塑造的一个正面形象。

When appraised by readers and critics,XUE Bao-chai was always set in the standpoint opposing to LIN Dai-yu and was described as an apologist of feudalism,a girl who incessantly schemed to marry Bao-yu.However,the study of the writer＇s conception and the development of the plot will show that XUE was virtually a positive character portrayed by the writer.
