紅樓十五釵

by 歐麗娟 ...

《紅樓夢》中有歷久彌新、令人神往的雅文化，即貴族文化的精華。大眾往往誤以為貴族就是有權有勢，享受龐大的財富、過奢靡的生活，但這僅止於物質範疇，更重要的，則是精神層面的那份涵養和優雅。古人的思想、感受和所關心的問題，和現代的我們截然有別，何況曹雪芹寫的是貴族世家的故事，而多數人卻不見得有類似的生活體驗，那就注定帶著先天的隔閡，容易將故事讀反了。例如把林黛玉當成寄人籬下的灰姑娘、把王熙鳳看成是心腸歹毒的反面人物、把脫軌放任當作追求自由平等、把貴族看成暴發戶……還有，把曹雪芹想要展示雅文化之美，以及最終卻失落了這份價值而感傷哀輓，誤以為是反封建禮教。有不少研究者都是從這樣的角度切入，《紅樓夢》便如此被套上了重重的誤解。探索《紅樓夢》已逾二十年的歐麗娟教授，帶著讀者重新理解紅樓人物，要看懂「紅樓夢中人」為了活得更有價值可以做哪些奮鬥，特別是其中的女性角色，如何用更堅忍、更高貴的美好姿態來面對人生 ...
