在钱欲与情欲的背后——浅析《金锁记》主人公曹七巧的悲剧命运

The Desire for Wealth and the Desire for Emotion——A Brief Discussion on the Tragedy of Chao Qi-qiao in the Story of Gold Chain

张爱玲《金锁记》中曹七巧的艺术魅力在于她鲜明的性格特征,病态的精神世界和女性性别的悲剧。曹七巧悲剧命运的根源在于情欲与钱欲的不可调和,赤裸裸的金钱关系和对情爱的渴念的激烈冲突,最终在“金的枷锁”下,情欲与钱欲一起耗尽人的生命。《金锁记》中鲜活的“七巧”形象,源于人性自我的深度审视。

Chao Qi-qiao, the heroine in Zhang Ai-ling's 'the Story of Gold Chain' has drawn wide attention because of her distinctive character, morbid psychology and her female sex. The origin of Chao Qi-qiao's tragedy lies in the contradiction between the desire for wealth and the desire for emotion. The fierce contradiction, under the control of money, finally leads to the death of Chao Qi-qiao. The author in this book bases the image of Chao Qi-qiao on her closely watching of personality.
