Causes of female tragic fate in Lu Xun's works

Lu Xun wrote many works describing the tragic fate of women in feudal society, and created many images of women in feudal society in his works By describing the tragic experiences of their lives, he profoundly exposed the evils of the feudal patriarchal clan system and angrily accused the feudal society of cannibalism.

While sympathizing with their fate and paying attention to their lives, the author also made an in-depth exploration of their liberation road.

In the article My View of Chastity published by 19 18, Lu Xun lashed out at the view of chastity advocated by the feudal ruling class, pointing out that "praising chastity" is actually a kind of "abnormal morality" imposed on women. In the article "About Women", he even hit the nail on the head and pointed out: "This social system has crushed women into all kinds of slaves, and it wants to put all kinds of charges on her head.

This shows Lu Xun's deep sympathy and pity for women's tragic experience and unfortunate fate.

Second, analyze the female images in Lu Xun's works.

Consistent with Lu Xun's thought and behavior, his novel creation is also full of angry criticism of the evil behavior of the feudal patriarchal clan system.

Tomorrow's hero Shan Sisao is a "stupid woman", a painful and sober woman.

She is hardworking and kind. After losing her husband, she followed the concept of "loyalty to her husband" and dared not remarry.

She has no wild desires, and her only hope can only be pinned on her son; I just want to support myself and my son with my own hands.

However, bad luck befell her.

Bao er was ill. He asked for a visa, made a wish and ate a single meal. Bao Er's condition has not improved.

She had to pin her hopes on the quack fairy.

The indifference of society prevented her from even saving Bao Xiao's life.

After Bao Xiao's death, the widow's last hope was dashed.

Her spiritual world is empty. What will the endless tomorrow mean in front of her? She can't get any sympathy around except those who want to rob her. The lack of human feelings is really chilling.

Poisoned by feudal ethics and superstition, Sister Sans developed a slave character of resignation, ignorance and numbness, and no sense of struggle.

All the blows and misfortunes she has suffered are only through the dreamy "tomorrow" entrusted to her, and it is still a dream that can never be realized.

Blessing shows the profound cruelty of feudal ethics to women.

Sister Xianglin in this article, a hardworking and kind ordinary village woman, is also a weak person who was eaten by feudal ethics.

The buying and selling marriage in feudal society made Sister Xianglin marry a man ten years younger than her. After her husband died, her mother-in-law sold her to He Laoliu in the mountains like an animal.

But the second marriage is even more unfortunate. The husband died, the son died, and the uncle closed the house and kicked her out of the royal family.

Desperate, she went to Fourth Master Lu's house as a helper and was convicted by feudal ethics: it is immoral for a widow to remarry; Cocokezi is even more ominous.

Master Lu Si, a feudal moral guardian, warned the four aunts not to let Sister Xianglin get her hands dirty during the sacrifice.

People in Luzhen also treated her with a "cold and sharp" attitude.

Sister Xianglin was discriminated and oppressed mentally; Liu Ma also told her that after her death, she would be cut in half by Yan Luowang and given to two men, which made her extremely painful and her soul could not get a trace of peace.

In order to atone for her sin, Sister Xianglin used up all her salary and donated a threshold to the Land Temple as her body. body double said, "A thousand people step by step, and ten thousand people cross".

However, no matter how hard she struggled for her own destiny, her efforts were never recognized and forgiven by the feudal forces.

After donating the threshold for atonement, Siyi said, "Put it away, Sister Xianglin", which gave her the final fatal blow in spirit.

She died in the street the night she prayed in Luzhen.

It can be said that Xianglinsao was strangled alive by the four ropes of political power, clan power, husband power and theocracy in feudal society.

Fourth Master Lu, a feudal guardian, not only brutally exploited Xianglinsao, a cheap labor force, but also mercilessly attacked her mentally, accusing her of "impurity" and "corrupting customs".

Finally, he was kicked out of the door, became a beggar, and finally died in the street.

Mother-in-law and uncle, representatives of clan rights, one sold her as a widow and the other drove her out of the house.

This betrayal and expulsion fully exposed the hypocrisy and cruelty of feudal ethics, and also dealt a blow to Sister Xianglin's body and mind.

After that, the ubiquitous theocracy in society continued to hit her hard mentally.

Advocating to her what goes around comes around when Yan punishes widows to remarry, made Sister Xianglin, a woman who is enslaved both physically and mentally, fall into extreme fear. Although Liu Ma's harmless threats have the color of feudal superstition, Sister Xianglin, who is ignorant and numb, is convinced.

Sister Xianglin was finally crushed by the mountains of feudalism.

Her death is Lu Xun's thorough criticism and denial of the political power, clan, husband power and theocracy of the feudal patriarchal clan system.

Lu Xun not only exposed the persecution of Xianglinsao by feudal forces, but also excavated the resistance factors in her.

But her rebellious consciousness is hazy.

For a long time, because of the poison of feudal reactionary cultural thought, Sister Xianglin instinctively regarded the code of conduct regulated by feudal culture as the basis and standard of her life, so her resistance was dominated by feudal thought.

For the first time, she fled to Luzhen to work for a living. This resistance to clan rights and husband rights is justified.

But she doesn't understand that this is her right to live. The only purpose of her escape was to escape the abuse of her mother-in-law. Finally, it was robbed by her mother-in-law and sold.

When she was forced to remarry, she also tried to resist, but this was a kind of persistence in "lifelong loyalty" and a foolish loyalty to the feudal concept of chastity.

Finally, when she died, she bowed to whether there was a soul hell, which showed that she had doubts about feudal theocracy, but her thoughts were superstitious.

Xianglinsao's series of struggles and resistance are unconscious, and her strength is weak and pale. She was finally killed by the deep-rooted feudal network.

Xianglinsao's final death is not unrelated to her ignorance and weakness, but the fundamental reason is that the feudal system eats people.

Compared with Xianglinsao, the love aunt in Divorce is the most rebellious rural female image in Lu Xun's novels about women.

Iago/Kloc-married Shi Jia at the age of 0/5. She denounced her husband as a "little beast" and her father-in-law as an "old beast" in front of everyone. This bold, provocative and indomitable character makes the struggle fierce and full of gunpowder.

"How many fights have been fought and how many times have been talked about?"

Finally, under the "mediation" of seven people, Aigu "unwilling to divorce" finally left.

Faced with the huge and solid feudal forces, the restless Fish Love Valley can only splash a few splashes in the pool, and finally it can't get rid of the fate of being eaten.

She wants to break through the powerful feudal network woven for thousands of years by herself, which can only be wishful thinking.

When she realized this, she sadly pinned her hopes on those seven people, thinking that he would uphold justice for her.

The maintenance of feudal order and interests was manipulated by seven people.

This naive idea and behavior of loving menstruation can only swallow the bitter fruit of failure in the end.

Subconsciously, Aigu thinks that being divorced by her husband is a "disgraceful" event.

In feudal society, there was only divorce, which was considered the most shameful thing in the society at that time, especially by women. The status of divorced people is even worse than that of widows.

To this end, Aigu resisted and wanted to get back a "statement."

Ai Gu's behavior shows that her soul is still firmly ruled by the concept of "one-sided" in feudal ethics.

From this point of view, although her resistance is fierce, its significance is limited.

The typical images of rural women in feudal society, such as Xianglinsao and Aigu, were poisoned by feudal thoughts and suffered heavier mental pressure during the long and dark course of thousands of years, and their souls were enslaved and distorted more seriously.

Lu Xun showed more concern and sympathy for them, but also showed infinite sadness and anger.

As a great thinker, revolutionary and writer, Lu Xun paid attention to women's issues, not only rural women, but also new urban women.

Regret for the Past is Lu Xun's work featuring urban intellectual women.

Zijun is another type of woman.

She is an intellectual woman who was baptized by the May 4th New Culture Movement.

She said, "I am my own, and none of them has the right to interfere with me."

"This is the voice of female personality liberation.

She used this as an ideological weapon to fight for her freedom of love and marriage and established a small family with Shi Juansheng.

But the joy of victory is the starting point of tragedy, and the tragedy and social roots are the oppression of feudal forces.

Feudal forces regarded young people's free love as immoral, the director's dismissal order led to Juansheng's unemployment, and the heavy economic pressure accelerated the separation of Juansheng's feelings from Zijun.

However, the limitation of the hero's belief in personality liberation is also the ideological root of the tragedy.

Zijun pursues only the freedom of love and marriage.

To achieve the goal, we should regard the narrow world as the whole world and the small family life as the whole meaning of life.

As Lu Xun said in his essay "What happened after Nora left", the social system has not changed and there is no economic right. Even if Nora goes to society because of her personality awakening, I'm afraid there are only two ways to fall or come back.

Zijun went out of the feudal family and entered the small family. Under the oppression of the old forces, he returned to the feudal family and died of depression in a loveless world.

Personality emancipating the mind and "not extinguishing old thoughts" are the subjective reasons for Zijun's tragedy.

Although Zijun became a victim of the pursuit of personality liberation, she rushed out of the feudal shackles after all.

Her call for a resolute break with feudal ethics and ethics will become a strong voice of the times, and her tragic image will inspire and inspire China women under feudal oppression.

Three. abstract

With the enlightenment spirit of "life-oriented" and deep regret for oppressed women, Lu Xun exposed the soul of morbid society with the realistic style of grief and indignation in order to cause healing.

The author created several fleshy artistic images, such as Sisao Shan, Sisao Xianglin, Aigu and Zijun, and exposed and criticized the evil caused by the dark and ignorant policies of the feudal patriarchal clan system through their tragic life fate persecuted by the feudal society and its ethics.

This is also one of the purposes of Lu Xun's shaping these women.

The female images created by Lu Xun half a century ago, although their resistance and struggle ended in failure, their fighting spirit and unyielding character inspired and inspired countless women, and they finally won through their own efforts.

These female images created by Lu Xun have tragic results, but they have far-reaching significance.
