肯定人性需要和张扬个体权益——“三言”与《十日谈》的叙事声音比较

Approval of Human Needs and Praise of Individual Rights——A Comparison of Narrative Voice between“SanYan”and The Decameron

作为中西方启蒙文学的开创性文本,"三言"和《十日谈》都不同程度地冲击、动摇了禁欲主义、蒙昧主义等禁锢人性的观念,奠定了人性解放的方向和基调。但由于中西方文化价值观念的不同,两部作品所传达的思想启蒙的叙事声音存在着明显的差异:前者的叙事声音比较外显,着重于肯定人性需要的合理性;后者的叙事声音比较内隐,着重于展示个体权益的至高无上。本文主要借助于对两部作品中女性的婚恋目的、私情的处理原则、难题的应对方式等内容的对比分析,来揭示其叙事声音的意义生成作用及不同意蕴。
