霁月难逢 彩云易散——《红楼梦人物谈》之一篇:晴雯

A Radiant Moon Is Rare to Meet While Colourful Clouds Are Easy to Disperse ——From " A Discussion on the Characters In A Dream In Red Mansions

作者以同情和钦佩的心情,赞扬了在《红楼梦》大观园中备受压迫而又不断反抗的女奴——晴雯。她身为奴婢,但她有思想、有感情、有意志,从不听从主子的奴役、不任由主子的践踏,处处维护着人的尊严。文章以晴雯和大观园里的奴婢作比,尤其是与袭人作比较,显示了晴雯具有不同于其他女奴的特点:聪明、勇散、正直、坦率、倔强、自尊、自重。由于封建势力的压迫,晴雯死于封建专制的压力下,她的死,是对封建专制势力的控诉。

The authors, with great sympathy and admiration, praise Qingwen the maid servant in Grand View Garden, who was suffered and oppressed, but resisted continually. As a maid servant, Qingwen has her consciousness, deep affection and strong willpower. She has never resigned herself to her masters' enslavement and never tolerated her masters' ravage. She always maintained her human dignity. By making a comparison between Qingwen and the other maids, especially Xi-Ren, the paper shows that she has her personalities quite different from those of the others, such as wisdon, bravery, integrity, frankness, deter-minedness, self-respect and self-esteem. She died through the cruel oppression by feudal power but her death is held as a condemnation for the evil of the feudal society.
