论女性主义批评视角下潘金莲与傅彩云之异同

On the Similarities and Differences between Pan Jinlian and Fu Caiyun from the Perspective of Feminist Criticism

潘金莲和傅彩云是中国章回小说中非常特异的两个“女性形象”。她们具有反叛男权社会的共同气质言行,泼辣狠毒、工于心计,通过展现女性身体魅力获取男性宠爱,并以此为资本追求性爱享受。这些气质言行与一贯温柔贤淑的传统“女性形象”背道而驰,有力打破了男权意识下惯常的“女性形象”塑造。潘金莲和傅彩云在生存空间及对两性态度上有明显差异。潘金莲囿于狭窄的家庭空间,而傅彩云则在家庭空间与公共社交空间跳进跳出;潘金莲的异性交往体现为无目的的纵欲,傅彩云则是追求女性独立的性解放。这些差异不仅传示出各自时代的性别压迫,也体现出“女性形象”在章回小说中由晚明至近代的历史演进。

Pan Jinlian and Fu Caiyun are two special "female images" in Chinese chapter novels.They have the common temperament of rebelling against the patriarchal society. Their words and deeds are vicious and scheming. They get men’s favor by showing women’s physical charm, and use this as the capital to pursue sexual enjoyment. These temperament words and deeds run counter to the traditional "female image" which has always been gentle and virtuous, and effectively break the habitual "female image" shaping under the patriarchal consciousness. However, Pan Jinlian and Fu Caiyun have obvious differences in their living space and their attitude towards the sexes. Pan Jinlian is confined to the narrow family space, while Fu Caiyun jumps in and out of the family space and public social space;Pan Jinlian’s sexual intercourse is not purposeful desire, while Fu Caiyun pursues the sexual liberation of female independence. These differences not only show the gender oppression of their respective eras, but also reflect the historical evolution of "female image" in the late Ming to modern novels.
