论柔石笔下的女性形象及其文化意义

On Women's Images and Their Cultural Significance in Rou Shi's Works

作为"左联五烈士"之一的柔石,由于其生存的独特时期和其在文学上的卓越成就而引起我们的关注。但是,目前很多人着重于研究柔石小说中的青年形象,即使是研究女性形象,也多是表现出柔石对女性悲苦命运的关注,并没有通过这种现象来进一步剖析这些女性悲苦命运的原因及其中透视出来的社会文化。笔者发现柔石对女性命运的高度关注和同情,尤其是下层女性包括一些母亲的生活和命运给予了很深刻细致的剖析,给人留下难以磨灭的印象。笔者认为有必要站在文化的视角上重新审视柔石的小说。柔石笔下的女性主要分为两类:一是未出嫁的的女子,二是身为人母的妇人。柔石叙述了女性生活和命运,表现了二三十年代中国女性的作为男性附庸的社会地位和下层女性的苦痛。

Rou Shi was a well-established writer and one of the five martyrs of the Left Wing League. Such complication interests many scholars. In terms of his literary achievement, more attention has been paid to youth than women constructed in his novels. If any, most will concentrate on their destiny instead of their images, no in-depth causal analyses either. The present study endeavors to fill in the gap, and investigate women's images in his works. Results reveal that in depicting lives of women, especially those marginalized ones like unmarried girls and mothers with deep concern and sympathy, Rou Shi exposed women's suffering as appendage to men.
