人性的两极观照——沈从文、张爱玲作品之比较

沈从文和张爱玲,两位孜孜不倦探索人性的作家,同样是以人性作为创作切入点和衡量尺度,但是在人性表现上,两人的侧重点却向两极化方向延伸。沈从文侧重于表现人性、人情的真善美的一面,对人性的回归、人的人格价值尊严的发掘和张扬。张爱玲侧重于表现人性的假恶丑、人的异化、人的人格价值尊严的扭曲和泯灭。

Two opposing extremes of viewpoints about human nature——Comparative reading between Shen Congwen and Zhang Ailing

Shen Congwen and Zhang Ailing are two writers who seek for human nature indefatigably.Both regard the human nature as the point of tangency and standard.But in the expression of human nature,their points of view are absolutely different.Shen Congwen expressed the true, the good and the beautiful of human nature.He called for the resuscitation of human nature,excavated and spread human dignity;on the contrary,Zhang Ailing emphasized the false,the evil and the ugly of human nature and the alienation as well.In her works,the twisted and violable human dignity can be found everywhere.
