女性意识的觉醒与历史困境——以莫言《蛙》中姑姑的形象为例

The Awakening of Female Consciousness and Women’s Historical Plight——A Case Study of the Image of the Aunt in Mo Yan’s Frog

莫言的作品塑造了众多个性鲜明的女性形象。最具有鲜明特色并倾注作家丰沛情感的莫过于《蛙》中的姑姑。莫言对姑姑重男轻女集体无意识的质疑、雄性化的女性形象等描写无不彰显了姑姑追求与男性平等的主体意识。在《蛙》中莫言有意遮蔽对男性形象的塑造,着力于将女性个体融于宏大的国家历史背景之下,在“极致”的计划生育环境冲突中凸显女性的命运。女性觉醒者无路可走的历史困境往往造成了女性的悲剧结局。这也是莫言的《蛙》带给读者的思考与文学价值所在。

Mo Yan has created many female images with unique personalities.Mo Yan has poured distinctive emotion and energy into the portrayal of an aunt in his Frog.His collective unconscious questioning of the preference for boys and portrayal of masculine female images all highlight the subjective,female consciousness of pursuing equality with men.In Frog,Mo Yan deliberately obscures the shaping of male images,focuses on the integration of female individuals into the grand national historical background,and highlights the fate of women in the"extreme"environmental conflicts.Trapped in their historical dilemma,awakened women have no way out and cannot avoid their tragic fate.This is also the connotation and literary value that Mo Yan's Frog brings to readers.
