雪国之美——论川端康成思想意识下驹子和叶子的女性形象

On the Beauty of Snow Country——on the Female Image of Komako and Yoko in the Mind of Kawabata

川端康成在他的作品《雪国》中,塑造了两个具有深远意义的女性形象——驹子和叶子。在川端康成恋母情结、男权思想、以死为美思想以及独具魅力的佛禅思想的影响下,这两个女性的形象丰满且生动。驹子充满活力的肉体象征着一种顽强的生命意识,即"肉"的理念符号。叶子则是一个完美化的形象,她象征了绝对的纯洁。这两个形象,反映出了那个时代平民的生活状态,表现了人们对未来美好的憧憬;这两个形象是我们研究川端康成创作思想的重要线索,也是探究日本文化的一个切入点。

Kawabata created two far-reaching female images： Komako and Yoko in his work ＂Snow Country＂. Influenced by Kawabata＇ s oedipus complex, chauvinism, death-eulogizing idea and Buddhism thought, the images of two women are very rich and vivid. Komako with his life full of vigor symbolizes an indomitable life, viz, the ideal symbol of＂flesh＂, and Yoko, a perfect image, symbolizes an ab- solute chastity. These two images reflect the life situation of civilians at that time and reveal people＇s hope for the future. Besides, the two images are very important clues for us to look at Kawabata＇s writing thinking, and a starting point to explore Japanese culture.
