《儒林外史》中王太太形象分析

Analysis of the Image of Mrs Wang in The Scholars

《儒林外史》中的王太太是一个微不足道的泼妇形象,吴敬梓一方面刻画了她的"泼"相,另一方面也描写了她的不幸,她用撒泼向社会、向礼俗挑战,无奈封建的男权社会最终注定了她的悲剧人生。作者通过这一人物的塑造,对封建礼俗社会进行了辛辣讽刺,同时也在一定程度上表现了自己进步的妇女观。

Mrs Wang depicted in The Scholars was an insignificant virago image. On the one hand, Wu Jingzi depicted her shrewish image, and on the other hand, Wu described her unfortunate experience. She challenged the society, etiquettes and customs with her unique behavior, which eventually doomed the tragedy of her life in a male -dominated feudal society. Through this character, the author satirized rituals and customs of feudal society bitterly, and showed his own progressive attitudes towards females to some extent.
