论明清弹词小说中的男性弱化现象

On the Feminization of Male Images in Fiddle Ballads in Ming and Qing Dynasties

在明清时期江南女作家创作的弹词小说中,男性弱化现象非常突出。这些男性形象的显赫地位与他们在家庭、国家中所发挥的作用极不相称,表现出一种懦弱无能的状态,与作品中有勇有谋、敢作敢当的女性形象形成了鲜明对比。这种迥异于男作家笔下的男性形象是女作家在现实生活中对男性具体感触的外化,体现了她们对当时身居高位者的复杂情感。

The Feminization of male images in fiddle ballads by female writers in Yangtze Delta in Ming and Qing Dynasties is very conspicuous. Their eminent social position is dwarfed by their role in family and country, whose incapability is contrasted by the bravery and ingenuity of female characters. This kind of male images are the concretization of women writers＇ complex feelings about man, upper class in particular, in the real life.
