《水浒传》作者并非刻意贬低女性浅论

The Author of Heroes of the Marshes Not to Mean to Belittle the Female Figures

《水浒传》中写了不少女性,其中有的长得丑,有的遭到好汉们的残忍杀戮,有的与好汉们被逼上梁山有关系,但不能据此认为《水浒传》作者施耐庵是仇视女性并且刻意贬低女性的。透过对《水浒传》整个文本中男性描写与女性描写的比较,以及对女性类别多样性、女性对好汉们前途的作用分析,可以看出作者并非刻意贬低女性,更多的是同情和赞美女性。

Quite a few female figures are depicted in the Chinese classical fiction, Heroes of the Marshes, among whom some look ugly, some got killed cruelly by the heroes, some of which were related to the heroes＇ being forced to rebel. But We can＇t conclude that the author was hostile to the female and belittled them intentionally.Comparing the descriptions of the male with that of the female throughout the entire text and analyzing the varied women of all sorts as well as their impacts on the heroes＇ future, we see the author＇ s sympathies and admiration for females rather than belittling them.
