鬼狐有性格,笑骂成文章——从《司文郎》、《胭脂》看《聊斋志异》人物的性格塑造

On the shaping of the characters in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" through "Si Wen-lang" and "Rouge"

司文郎是掌管文教事务的官吏,居然一度由聋子代管,瞎眼的和尚居然可以用鼻子辨别文章的优劣;《胭脂》的一连串奇之又奇的巧合,构成了千古奇冤,也凸现了一批活灵活现的人物形象。蒲松龄就是这样以夸张、烘托、辛辣、尖刻之笔,塑造着他作品中人物的丰满性格,揭露、鞭挞着封建科举、法律制度的黑暗与不公。

Si wen-lang is an ancient official in charge of educational affairs,which was once taken over by the escrow deaf.With his nose,the blind monk can identify what a good article is and what the poor one is.A series of odd coincidences constitute the peculiar injustices,and also highlight a number of vivid characters.Pu Shong-lin shapes the characters of his works with rich personalities in exaggeration,contrast,bitterness irony,exposing the feudal imperial examinations,the legal system of darkness and injustice.
