男性的凝视与“淫妇”形象的生成——简论《水浒传》对偷情女性的叙事

Men’s Attitude toward"Immoral Women"——A brief introduction to the narration of women with extramarital love in Water Margin

《水浒传》中,潘金莲、潘巧云与阎婆惜三个女性都因红杏出墙,最终惨死在男性刀下,留下了"淫妇"的骂名。在和男性交往中,三人虽性格不一,表现各异,但在根本上都处于被观看和审视的弱者地位。除了书中的男性人物,在她们背后,叙事者那带有偏见的目光更笼罩了一切,并潜入文本,通过强行干预的叙事行为导致了"淫妇"形象的生成。

In Water Margin,three females Pan Jinlian,Pan Qiaoyun and Yan Poxi are all killed by men because of extramarital love and leave a bad name as'immoral woman'.Though these women with different characters have their own skills in connecting with men,they are,fundamentally speaking,at a weak position of being watched and examined.It is narrator’s bias towards females through the whole story and forcible intervention in narration that bring the image of'immoral woman'into being.
