振保的抉擇：以〈鶯鶯傳〉、〈紅玫瑰與白玫瑰〉之比較論傳統道德價值對男性擇偶觀的影響
Zhenbao's Choice: Discuss the Influences of Traditional Morality on Male's Spouse-selection Values from the Comparison of Biography of Yingying and Red Rose, White Rose
摘要
張愛玲（1920－1995）短篇小說〈紅玫瑰與白玫瑰〉，看似「聖潔的妻」與「熱烈的情婦」之紅、白對抗，但實際上卻是男主角佟振保遵循社會價值而放棄所愛（娶非所愛），因而致使的愛情悲劇。〈紅玫瑰與白玫瑰〉在思想及結構上與唐代傳奇〈鶯鶯傳〉有其相似之處，皆為追求外在社會價值的肯定與認同，不顧內心的真實感受而「忍情」、放棄所愛，然筆者認為，在小說內容上，張愛玲實透過反諷的手法來繼承《紅樓夢》之思想。本文試圖比較〈紅玫瑰與白玫瑰〉及唐代傳奇〈鶯鶯傳〉，探討傳統道德價值觀對男性擇偶觀的制約與影響，並從中梳理舊時代的價值觀念如何繼續綑綁新時代的男女，而張愛玲筆下的人物又是如何面對此種束縛，以及小說背後所反映的深刻思想與價值。
