对西方文学弃妇形象走向特点的思考

Developmental Features of Abandoned Wife Figure in Western Literature

西方文学中的弃妇形象虽然不像中国文学那样络绎不绝,但也不约而同地出现,这是社会发展历程和男女不平等类似的结果。西方文学中的弃妇形象与中国文学中的弃妇形象呈截然相异的走向特点:一是不平衡和淡化的趋向,甚或时而出现"缺失"现象;二是弃妇形象从反叛型走向主体型。这种走向特点是由其思想文化的发展决定的。

Owing to similar social progress and inequality of men and women, western literature has employed the figure of abandoned wife as Chinese literature has done. But in the development of western literature, the abandoned wife figure has transformed from a revolt type into a subject type and had gradually faded out or even become absent. This trend is directed by the thinking and culture development of the western literature.
