从虞姬到四小姐——探析张爱玲笔下战争中的女性形象

From Yu Ji to Miss Zhao Si——Exploration into the Female Images in War in Zhang Ailing's Works

最新出版的张爱玲未完稿小说《少帅》,以张学良与赵一荻的爱情故事为原型与主线,穿插了民国时期军阀混战的时代背景。此部张爱玲遗稿,在素材选择与文笔营运上,都与其先前发表作品关联甚多。对于英雄配美人这一素材模式,张爱玲尤为钟情,从其早期锋芒初露作品《霸王别姬》到晚期惨淡经营之作《少帅》,可见一斑。从追随远古枭雄征战沙场的虞姬到见闻民国少帅戎马倥偬的四小姐,及其晚期代表作《色·戒》中的王佳芝、《小团圆》中的盛九莉等,在以女性作为文本主角并从女性视角出发目睹战争对于两性关系影响的这几部作品中,贯穿张爱玲人文关怀和两性认知的始终是战争中的女性,或者说战争对于女性命运的掌控。
