论苏童《妻妾成群》叙事空间与颂莲悲剧成因

Discussion on Narrative Space of Wives and Concubines and Reasons for Song Lian’s Tragedy

《妻妾成群》是苏童的经典之作,小说营造了包蕴着精神原乡与自由想象的府外空间以及由肉体监狱与心灵陷阱构成的府内空间,两个异质性叙事空间产生的对立冲突与女主人公颂莲的悲剧性命运具有内在联系。苏童利用空间叙事展现的女性悲剧既是作者心灵轨迹的别样展现,又是对人性的一次深度思考。

Wives and Concubines is Su Tong’s classic.The novel created the outside-of-the-mansion space that contains spiritual homeland and free imagination,as well as the inside-of-the-mansion space composed of physical prison and mind trap.The conflict between the two heterogeneous narrative spaces was intrinsically linked to the tragic fate of the heroine Songlian.Su Tong employed spatial narration to unveil the feminine tragedy,which was not only a different presentation of his spiritual track,but also a deep thinking of human nature.
