贾平凹《五魁》=韓江《素食者》

(2024-10-19 22:19:41) 下一个
The shared theme of respect for women's rights and dignity in the texts you provided touches on the profound emotional and psychological struggles women endure in oppressive social environments. These narratives—whether in *The Wooden Man's Bride* or *The Vegetarian*—highlight the extent to which patriarchal systems not only dehumanize women but also strip them of agency and voice. 
 
In *The Wooden Man's Bride*, we see a tragic portrayal of love and destiny constrained by rigid societal rules and oppressive structures. The film's core conflict revolves around the forbidden romance between Wu Kui, a worker, and the widow of the man he was supposed to help marry. This relationship, bound by class and gender expectations, leads to Wu Kui’s expulsion, symbolizing how women (and their emotional and sexual autonomy) are often suppressed or even punished when they challenge societal boundaries.
 
Similarly, in *The Vegetarian*, the female protagonist, Yeong-hye, begins a radical act of self-rejection by refusing to eat meat, which transforms into a symbolic rejection of her traditional role as a compliant wife and daughter. She seeks to escape the violence and expectations imposed by her family and society, but her quest for autonomy is met with escalating resistance, both psychological and physical. The act of refusing to conform becomes both an act of defiance and a cry for help, showing how women’s bodies, desires, and even thoughts are frequently not their own in patriarchal systems.
 
In both works, women are trapped in roles that demand submission—whether through familial obligations, social roles, or even forced marriages. The violation of their dignity is not just an external action but also a reflection of how society can distort and crush a woman’s identity. The narratives also underline how the lack of mutual respect, whether between a husband and wife or between a woman and her broader social circle, is at the heart of many emotional crises.
 
The theme of *mutual respect* echoes strongly across both the film and the novel. In *The Wooden Man's Bride*, respect for the widow’s feelings, autonomy, and grief is absent—she is treated as property, and her desires are irrelevant. In *The Vegetarian*, Yeong-hye’s own bodily autonomy is violated by her family’s refusal to understand her needs or respect her transformation. Both works emphasize how a lack of respect for women leads to the breakdown of familial and societal bonds, often resulting in tragic consequences.
 
On a larger scale, these stories reflect the broader societal issues that many Asian women, particularly in patriarchal cultures, face daily. They live in systems where their individuality, voice, and freedom are often disregarded or suppressed. This is particularly evident in the reflections on family life and marriage in both texts—where respect and equality are often sidelined, and emotional labor (whether through cooking, nurturing, or supporting men) is expected without question.
 
The tragic nature of these stories suggests a profound commentary on the need for societal change. To honor women’s dignity and autonomy, there must be an active shift in how women are viewed—not as tools to serve others, but as individuals with their own rights, desires, and voices. When respect is absent, relationships deteriorate, and both individuals and communities suffer.
 
These narratives are not just about women’s oppression—they are also calls for reform and a reflection of the emotional and spiritual toll that societal expectations impose on all individuals.

90年代是国产影视的黄金年代,尤其中国西部片,少之又少,还有一个《双旗镇刀客》,也是前无古人,后无来者的存在

听了开头的一部分,妻子做梦后未与丈夫商量就清空冰箱里的肉食,感觉很不妥。人与人之间应该相互尊重。维持婚姻的秘诀或许就在于“凡事有商有量”。

哎,译文语言如此平实,描写细腻如临其境,但是无法抓住作者想要表达的意义,而是为男女主角的困境而焦虑。

他们要的是服从,打着为你好的幌子,不惜一切代价逼你就范,本质上他们认为她只是个工具,工具不好用的时候,需要修理,修理一下而已……

故事太突兀,因为没有真正的利益冲突。发展到极端化太勉强。有点强说愁的感觉。真正反映社会生活的作品应该揭示错综复杂利益矛盾下的冲突。读后会发现很合理和真实。金瓶梅就是这样的作品。

韓江獲頒諾貝爾文學獎,是首位獲頒該獎項的韓國作家和亞洲女性作家。她現年53歲,代表作有小說《素食者》。諾貝爾文學獎評審表彰她「以強烈的詩意散文直面歷史創傷,揭示人類生命的脆弱」。
 
《素食者》2015年首次翻譯成英文,2016年她榮獲國際布克獎 (International Man Booker prize),是首位獲得該獎的亞洲作家。該書描述女主角英惠在一場噩夢後拒絕吃肉和煮肉,甚至把自己當成一株植物,她反叛了本來的生活,面臨家庭和社會的各種暴力。
 
作品呈現人內心抑壓的瘋狂與傷痕,探討暴力、惡、欲望、美和救贖等議題。諾貝爾文學獎委員會主席安德斯·奧爾森表示,韓江對身體與靈魂、生與死之間的關系有獨到見解,其「詩意與實驗性的風格」讓她成為「當代散文的創新者。韓江有豐富的文學背景,還致力於藝術和音樂,這也反映在其創作裏。」
"尊重"是多數亞洲人需要學習的功課! 需要被尊重的對象從年紀小到剛出生的嬰兒,到斷氣前一刻的任何人!

小說由三部分組成:素食者、胎記、樹火。可看作三個獨立短篇小說,但又組成了一個情節有相互聯系進展的小說,分別通過女主人公英惠的丈夫、姐夫、姐姐的視角展開小說。

《素食者》是小說開始發展部分,而《胎記》是高潮部分,《樹火》是結局,故事雖落幕,但看完小說帶給讀者的感受卻深遠,讓人深思,一個人能成長為一棵樹嗎? 為了逃避來自丈夫、家庭、社會和人群的暴力,她決定變成一棵樹。

在英惠的丈夫鄭先生的眼中,「病」前的英惠,是個再普通不過的女子:不高不矮的個頭、不長不短的頭發,相貌平平,著裝一般,溫順、平淡、文靜。正如他所希望的那樣,英惠完美地扮演了平凡妻子的角色——料理家務,伺候丈夫,就像千千萬萬的傳統婦女一樣。

然而,一場噩夢之後,妻子卻突然開始拒絕吃肉,拒絕為家人準備葷菜,甚至到最後,她開始拒絕自己的「人類」身份,把自己當成了一株植物,一株只需要陽光和水,謝絕任何食物和交流的植物。而隨著她被動的反叛以越來越極端和可怕的形式表現出來,醜聞、虐待和疏遠開始讓她螺旋進入她的幻想空間。在精神和身體的完全蛻變中,她現在危險的努力將使英惠——不可能的、狂喜的、悲劇性的——遠離她曾經為人所知的自我。

从头到尾,妻子的感受和需求,都没有被关注过一点点。那场聚餐,大家在知道她是素食主义者之后,哪怕点一个素食的主菜呢,是觉得她不配被关注和照顾吗?丈夫没有想到其他人也没有想到。她只是被期待了种种满足他人需要的social功能 服务功能 家务功能,但作为一个人,她的想法和感受,不重要不被关心。


也许这就是韩国女性,亚洲女性,父权制家庭女性的真实生存处境。她必须热气腾腾的为他人燃烧自己,而自己的一切毫不重要,无人在意。
而吃素,无论作为饮食方式生活方式,也许就是韩国女性准备离开这个父权吃人(女人)的游戏。

如果一个群体为了随众化,连一个素食人都容忍不下,那,即使已经获得了自由,也很容易回复专制,这就是亚洲国家民主自由体制很脆弱的原因,一受稍加别有用心的人或者群体的颠覆,就会回到专制

好可憐的英惠…感覺是他爸爸虐狗殺狗還吃家裡養的狗!讓她心裡出現了陰影、但長輩和家人們卻不以為錯!並且家人們皆忽視她的人權、導致她精神逐漸崩潰…雖然我非素食者、但是那樣的家人應該為她的病情負上責任
尤其是她爸爸!
