红楼"尴尬人"--论尤氏

尤氏在《红楼梦》中是一个尴尬人的形象。她的尴尬不仅表现在她尊上敬长而不得宠 ,携幼助弱而不得尊 ,善待奴仆而不得敬 ,凡事任劳任怨而不得怜 ,甚至常遭到排挤和欺辱。形成尤氏在贾府中的尴尬地位的原因 ,既有她的容貌、才干和德行等个人表层的原因 ,也有社会出身、嗣下无子、一味顺应丈夫自保的深层家庭和社会方面的原因。曹雪芹通过尤氏塑造了封建大家庭中少奶奶群像中的一个典型 ,是有审美价值的

An Awkward Person in Red Mansions--On Mrs You

Mrs You is an awkward figure in "A Dream of Red Mansions".Her awkardness is manifested on many aspects:she honored the elders but could not be noted; she brought along the young and the weak but could not be testowed; she treated the servants well but without being repected; she worked hard regardless of criticism but without being sympathized; and even she was pushed aside and insulted consequently.The cause of Mrs You's position in Jia's family,to the surface level, is her own appearance,competence and moral integrity, and to the deep level of the society and family, is her class background, heirless and comformity to her husband for self-protection.Bearing the aesthetic value,Cao Xueqin portrays a typical character of the young mistress groups in a big feudal family.
