苏童对女性悲剧生存境遇的反思——兼谈《伤逝》《妻妾成群》的叙述差异

Su Tong’s reflection on women’s tragic living conditions——Also on the narrative differences between Regret the Past and Wives and Concubines

苏童在《妻妾成群》中以一贯细腻的文笔书写对女性生存的思考,在新历史主义的写作观念下通过对女性欲望的发掘和精神世界的描写,展示现代早期女性在历史缝隙中的悲剧性命运与生存状态。鲁迅的《伤逝》与苏童的《妻妾成群》,都对20世纪初新女性的婚姻选择与命运走向、悲剧性的生存境遇进行反思,虽然存在叙述视角性别差异,但在隐秘的对话关系中交相呼应着一个一直未完成的命题——对人与女人内涵和处境的思考。

In Wives and concubines, Su Tong continued to show his concern about women’s survival with delicate writing style. Under the new historicism writing concept, Su Tong showed the tragic fate and survival state of the early modern women in the historical gap, describing the desire and mental world of women. Lu Xun’s Regret the Past and Su Tong’s Wives and Concubines both reflect on the new women’s marriage choice, fate, and tragic living situation in the early 20th century. Although there are gender differences in narrative perspectives, the hidden dialogue relationship echoes an unfinished proposition on the connotation and situation of man and woman.
