封建等级制度下的薄命红颜——鸳鸯和鸣凤悲剧命运探析

Ill-fated Life of Beauties under the Feudal Hierarchy——Analysis of the Miserable Destiny of Yuanyang and Mingfeng

鸳鸯和鸣凤分别是《红楼梦》和《家》中美丽坚贞的女性形象,她们有相似的身份相同的结局,同样是心比天高、身为下贱,宁为玉碎、不为瓦全。同时,不同的性格特征又使她们有不同的人生际遇,鸳鸯智慧通达、不卑不亢,在贾府过着被主仆敬重的生活;而鸣凤怯懦单纯、自卑隐忍,过得是吃打骂、流眼泪的日子。虽然面对封建统治者的逼迫,她们最终选择的都是用死亡捍卫自身尊严,但不同的胆识让她们生前的境遇迥然不同。她们的悲剧根源并不在欲纳她们为妾的贾赦和冯乐山身上,而在于对女性当私有财产占有的封建等级制度,在于根深蒂固的的封建意识。因此,只有废除了私有制,粉碎了封建等级制度,唤醒千千万万妇女的独立意识,鸳鸯和鸣凤们才有幸福可言。

Yuanyang and Mingfeng are beautiful and faithful female images in the literary works of Dream of Red Mansions and Home.Both of them are lofty-minded,ill-fated and better to die with honor than to survive in disgrace,they have similar status and ending.While different personality traits make them have different life circumstances,Yuanyang is neither humble nor pushy,respected by the master and servants for her wisdom in the Jia family;Mingfeng,however,is cowardly,simple,self-abased,and forbearing,which thus led to a life of tears.Facing the pressure of feudal rulers,they maintain their own dignity with their death,but their lives are very different because of their courage.Their tragedy does not depend on Jia She and Feng Leshan,but on the private ownership of regarding women as private property.Therefore,Yuanyang and Mingfeng can obtain the right to pursue happiness only by abolishing the private ownership and smashing the feudal hierarchy.
