《西游记》真假悟空与《红楼梦》真假宝玉的比较

A Comparison between the Real and Fake Sun Wukong in Journey to the West and the Real and Fake Baoyu in A Dream in Red Mansions

《西游记》和《红楼梦》都属于中国古典四大名著,二书中都有关于真假主人公的经典故事,前者是真假孙悟空,即孙行者和六耳猕猴;后者是真假宝玉,即甄宝玉和贾宝玉。孙悟空和贾宝玉本身就有着相同的"因石而生"身世和叛逆性格,两个故事更是在人物设置和二心主旨方面如出一辙,但也有着不同的丰富内涵和情节设置。真假悟空和真假宝玉的情节都体现了人性追求自由和难避约束之间的矛盾,值得对比分析研究。

Journey to the West and A Dream in Red Mansions both belong to the four classical masterpieces of Chinese literature.In the two books,there are classic stories about the true and false heroes.The former is the true and false Sun Wukong or Sun Walker and six-eared macaque and the latter is the true and false Baoyu or Zhen Baoyu and Jia Baoyu.Sun Wukong and Jia Baoyu have the same experience of"being born of stone"and rebellious character.The two stories are all the same in character setting and two-heart theme,but they also have different rich connotations and plot settings.The plots of true and false Wukong and Baoyu in the two novels reflect the contradictions between human nature’s pursuit of freedom and the difficulty of avoiding constraints,which is worth comparative analysis and research.
