本論文以王安憶小說中女性對於現代化的嚮往與追求為主題,試從女性的角度討論現代化一議題,討論九0年代以來現代化以強大的力量改變人們的生活,隨之而來的改變與影響成為重要的課題。透過王安憶的小說試圖探討現代化對女性的吸引之大,除了傳統社會給予女性的束縛得以在現代化城市中解除,現代化城市更是提供女性的空間發展自我,成為女性前進現代化城市的動力。論文首先說明女性對於情愛與現代性的想像。王安憶筆下的女性對於現代化生活主動追求的形象,翻轉自古以來女性是被動的角色,成為主動積極的自我主體。但女性對於現代化生活不甚了解,只憑著她們對現代性的想像,急欲突破現狀,最終是不自覺地又依附於男性之下。女性自覺到該主動追求現代化生活,但是資本體制的強大力量使得這些女性身陷其中而不自覺,成為資本化社會中的商品之一。伴隨現代化而來的商品化現象,除了使人容易淪為商品之一,也讓懂得掌握時尚流行趨勢的女性,創造所謂的流行趨勢,讓她們在現代化城市中找到自己的舞台。當王安憶為追求現代化生活女性找到明亮的出口時,商品化帶來的重複與單調,讓她感嘆現代化對傳統生活形式的侵蝕,也同時表達出她對現代化的懷疑與焦慮,她便將焦點轉移至淳樸的農村生活裡。但王安憶自知她無法抵擋現代化所帶來的改變,所以她才會一面批判現代化生活,一面又想讓女性在現代化生活裡有所發展,導致她徘徊現代與傳統之間。
