杀戮与救赎的两难抉择 ― 余华和金英夏的父权意识比较分析

Abstract

There are two similar features about Jin Yingxia, a writer from South Korea and Yu Hua from China. Both of them explore the thing of death in aesthetic style, and they also get the critical consciousness to fathers. This paper takes their novels as sample to study the features and differences of patricide consciousness in these works, to analyze the patricide impulsion and perplexity of these young writes who grew in cultural atmosphere of patriarchal system and matured in industrialized society of great change, and then reveals their introspection and seeking on social order. The two writers both grew in East Asian society with background of traditional Confucian culture, but because of different social system and culture, there are profound differences in their understanding on fathers. Jin Yingxia denied the capitalistic New Order based on interest relationship, but he still hovered in imaginative reconstruction of ideal society, while Yu Hua focused on history by revealing tininess of individual. The figure of fathers are ridiculed and deleted in Jin’s novels, while investigated and blamed in Yu’s work. As contemporary writers, they both took themselves in a contradiction of patricide impulsion and fear of lost their fathers. That is, when they attempted the new possibility of patricide consciousness, it’s hard to hide their restlessness and anxiety, and then showed their intention to do redemption for their fathers.
