祥林嫂的“罪与罚”——《祝福》的另一种读法

Another Interpretation of New Year's Sacrifice

除了旧礼教、鲁镇的大环境、封建迷信及众"看客"们等外部因素,祥林嫂的悲剧实则别有隐情。贺老六与阿毛之死均间接地和祥林嫂的失责有关,祥林嫂因之自觉肩负重罪,受限于鲁镇的现实环境和社会机制等因素,负罪的祥林嫂无法进行忏悔和得到救赎。被贺老六强暴之事在鲁镇被发酵成其无法摆脱的人生重耻。这不可饶恕的罪和坚硬的耻最终将祥林嫂导向自罚。祥林嫂和"我"的对话不是希望无"魂灵"、"地狱",而是希望其存在以便和家人团聚,进而继续赎罪。对一个不断努力突围现有生存场、逐渐发声且富有担当意识的祥林嫂的形象塑造体现着鲁迅的现代意识。

Apart from exterior factors such as the overall context of old moral codes,Lu Town,feudalistic superstition and numerous＂lookers-on＂,the tragedy of Sister Xianglin can also be attributable to other causes. Given the indirect link between the death of both He Laolu and Ah Mao with her dereliction of duty,Sister Xianglin was afflicted with an acute sense of guilt and was even unable to confess and redeem her guilt due to the actual milieu of Lu Town and the social mechanism at that time. Above all,Sister Xianglin＇s rape by He Laolu turned into an inextricable disgrace in her life,thus leading her to her ultimate self-punishment. As shown in the conversation between Sister Xianglin and ＂I＂,it was her wish that there were such things as ＂the soul＂and ＂the hell＂so that she could reunite with her family and continue atoning for her crime. The characterization of the image of Sister Xianglin who was constantly striving to break through the then living environment and airing her view and filled with the awareness of responsibility is demonstrative of Lu Xun＇s modern consciousness.
