在莫言的小说世界里,有一类卓尔不群的女性人物形象,她们性格鲜明、形象丰满,她们所处时代社会环境不同、身份地位外貌各异,多是某种时代悲剧、某种制度弊端或情感“被压抑的”“第二性”,是“被牺牲者”和悲剧命运的苦难承受者。虽然她们的最终命运与结局不一,但都体现了莫言试图借助“女性”这一性别视角解构历史、描画时代精神、批评社会弊病和表达人文关怀的叙事意图。
In the fictional world created by Mo Yan, there stand some unique and distinguished female char- acters, whose distinct personalities and fleshy images leave the audience unforgettable impressions. The fe- males, living in different historical and political settings, holding various social positions, wearing sundry ap- pearances, take roles of the "oppressed second sex", "the sacrificed" and the sufferers of tragic destiny, which were caused by historical tragedies, corrupt social malpractices or sexism. Though their life stories vary in endings, their images and temperaments provide Mo Yan magical perspectives to realize his literary dream of deconstructing set historic narration, depicting the times, fustigating social ills and expressing his humanis- tic concerns.
