《红楼梦》摔玉情节的叙事功能论

On the Narrative Function of the Plot of Breaking Jade in A Dream of Red Mansions

通过设置摔玉这一充满冲突与张力的情节,大旨谈情的《红楼梦》造就了一对情真意切的欢喜冤家。宝玉之“玉”是贯穿整部作品始终的核心主题物。摔玉情节不仅丰富了人物性格,更彰显出作者高超的叙事技巧。宝玉在黛玉面前两度摔玉,且两次摔玉间隔时间较长,其起因、经过与结果有较大不同。这一极具戏剧性的情节展现出宝玉的痴情与疯狂,并凸显了痴情女黛玉的深情形象,在宝黛爱情的发展历程中成为推动他们情感纠葛与深化的关键节点,具有独特的叙事功用。此外,脂砚斋的批语具有较高的学术价值,不仅为理解摔玉情节的创作意图提供了重要材料,更使摔玉情节具有较大的阐释空间。
