“安娜”的影子——莫言《怀抱鲜花的女人》与村上春树《眠》中的女性形象比较

The Shadow of“Anna”——A Comparative Study of the Female Images in Mo Yan's Short Story The Woman with Flowers and Haruki Murakami's Sleep

本文以俄国作家列夫?托尔斯泰的《安娜?卡列尼娜》中的经典女性形象——安娜为中间媒介,通过文本分析和比较研究相结合的方式,探讨了莫言作品《怀抱鲜花的女人》与村上春树《眠》中的女性形象的异同点。分析表明,莫言和村上在作品中偶然塑造了两个非常相近的女性形象,他们都与安娜的形象有不谋而合之处,然而他们的不同之处以及造成这种差异的原因则是必然的。在此基础上,进一步指出尽管两位作家作品中的女性形象不尽相同,但表明两位作家十分关注女性的生存状态和各自命运。最后,通过此种比较研究,以期能为解读莫言和村上作品开辟一条新的路径。
