論宗璞小說〈紅豆〉的人物塑造

宗璞(1928-)，為大陸當代學者型的女作家。1957年，她在「雙百」方針提出後發表的小說〈紅豆〉，是她開始受到文壇矚目的成名作。這篇描寫中共建政前夕女大學生江玫在革命與愛情間抉擇的小說，異於當時圖解政策的主流作品風格，超越中共十七年文學的公式化和概念化傾向，以細緻筆觸呈現人物的情感世界和內心掙扎，得到讀者共鳴，但這也使宗璞為此遭逢政治磨難，直到文革結束後，〈紅豆〉才被收入《重放的鮮花》，重新面對讀者。本文聚焦於〈紅豆〉的三個主要人物－江玫、齊虹、蕭素，透過對這些人物形象和性格的分析，說明宗璞〈紅豆〉的人物塑造；並藉由艾青敘事詩〈火把〉對〈紅豆〉人物的投影，以及兩作品「遊行」情境的表現，解讀〈紅豆〉以〈火把〉作為潛文本所延伸的想像空間。

Zong Pu (1928-) is both a contemporary female writer and scholar. In 1957, with the practice of ”Double Hundred” policy, she published the novel ”Red Beans”, which was her first well-known piece in the literary circle. This novel describes the conflict between the choices of revolution and love of a female college student, Jiang Mei, right before the rule of Communist Party of China (CPC). The writing style is different from that of the mainstream works, which mainly demonstrate the policies at that time; instead, her novel surmounts the inclination to literary formulation and conceptualization in the past seventeen years under the rule of CPC, and presents the emotional world and inward struggle of characters through her delicate writing skills. Her works inspired many readers; however, it also led her to the tribulation of politics. Only after Cultural Revolution was her ”Red Beans” collected into ”Reblooming Flowers”. This paper focuses on the three main characters of ”Red Beans”, Jiang Mei, Qi Hong, and Xiao Su, and explains the characterization of Zong Pu's ”Red Beans” by analyzing the image and personality of these characters. In addition, it uses the projections of ”Torches”, a narrative poem of Ai Qing, on ”Red Beans” to explain the expression of the context of ”parades” in these two works, and interpret that how ”Torches” played the role of the extension of imagination as a latent text to ”Red Beans”.
