被侮辱者成为被谴责者——论《金瓶梅词话》中的秋菊形象

The insulted becomes the condemned On the image of Qiuju in Jin Ping Mei Ci Hua

《金瓶梅词话》以西门庆家庭为描写中心,除了宅邸的男女主人公外,亦有大量笔墨描写了下层婢女的日常生活。她们处于被侮辱被凌辱的地位,本是值得同情的对象,但不可理解的是,《金瓶梅词话》的作者非但不同情她们,反而站在道德的高度对她们进行种种的谴责,被侮辱者成为被谴责者。其中秋菊的形象最为典型,其所受侮辱在众多婢女中最为严酷,而作者对其谴责又最为严厉,这实际上是作者维护封建等级制度深层意识在作品中的反映。

The novel Jin Ping Mei Ci Hua is mainly about Ximen Qing’s family. In addition to the description of the hero and the heroines in the mansion,there are also a great amount of descriptions of the daily life of the maidservants. They were insulted and abused,who should have been worthy of sympathy.However,it is inconceivable that the authors showed no mercy to them,instead he relentlessly condemned them with morality. Therefore,the insulted become the condemned. Qiuju is a typical one,for the insults upon her were the most severe among others,and so were the condemnations. Actually,the author’s deep consciousness of maintaining the feudal hierarchy is reflected in the works.
