从《官场现形记》解读近代女性的金钱意识
|
摘要
《官场现形记》通过描摹不同身份的女性参与官僚体系腐败活动的行为,集中体现了近代女性尤其是官家女眷的金钱意识。作者超越了性别的藩篱,笔下的女人同男人一样,充满对金钱的极度渴求,并独立地将之付诸行动。作为有条件近距离接触官场的官家女眷,她们的金钱意识与其对权力的膜拜紧紧相随,其中也反映了女性更为沉重的生存焦虑。她们接受权力的安排,听任金钱的掌控,金钱意识与权力意识互相促发,愈演愈烈,一齐将人和社会推到堕落的深渊。
By describing women of different identities participating in bureaucratic corruption,Revealing Original State of Officialdom embodied the money consciousness of modern women,especially the female family members. Beyond the barrier of gender,the author wrote about women who,like men,were full of the extreme desire for money and acted independently. As the females of the official families who had conditional close contact with the officialdom,their money consciousness closely followed their worship of power,which also reflected women's more serious survival anxiety. They accepted the arrangement of power and allowed money to control them. Money consciousness and power consciousness promoted each other and became more and more intense,pushing people and society to the abyss of degeneration.
