梦幻与超越——《飘》和《红楼梦》中的女性意识

Illusion and Transcendence:Comparative Study of Women's Consciousness in Gone with the Wind and A Dream of Red Chamber

《红楼梦》和《飘》是中美文学史上较早关注和率先为女性立传的作品。尽管作品中的女性群像植根于相异的文化土壤,然而,作为女性意识的先觉者,曹雪芹和米切尔在创作心态、思想与创作内涵方面无疑存在着共通之处。两部作品都在努力探索、思考各自时代女性的真实处境,弘扬独立的女性话语权,从而成为女性解放自身的有机组成部分。本文对两部作品中的女性意识进行了整体分析比较,探索不同时期不同背景下女性主义特征的共性与差异,从而引发出对女性问题的再思索。

Cao Xueqin＇ s A Dream of Red Chamber and Mitchell＇s Gone with the Wind firstly focus on women and write biographies for women in the history of American and Chinese literature. Although these female ima- ges come from different cultural background, yet as pioneers in feminist consciousness, Cao Xueqin and Mitchell undoubtedly have common pursuit in the creative psychology, creative implication and thinking. These two novels try to explore and ponder over the true situation of women and also promote the right of words of independent women, and in this way, they become the integral part of women＇ self-emancipation. In this paper, the author makes an overall analysis of feminist consciousness in Gone with the Wind and A Dream of Red Chamber, explores the same nesses and differences of the feminism in different periods and different back- grounds and finally initiates with re-consideration of women issues.
