On the research into feminine literary at present, the female writers' works or the female images in it have been paid too much attention. However, the male images in the female writers' works should be another growing-point, what the male images should be at all through the description of female words? Why does the image characteristic occur? What kind of female mind does it indicate? The research on these systematic questions still remains empty. The essay tries to analyze dependence and confront between men and women in order to observe the change of female psychological procedure and arouse further thinking by simple analysis.The male images in the female writers' works embody much more personality lack, which is completely different with the traditional big and strong male images. We may find out the female psychological procedure whose reason is exactly the permanent chase by inspecting the reason caused the change.Because originally the female gains male cognation from her father, the evaluation the female makes on the male sex is influenced at a great extent by her own father's image. We may figure out a fatal trouble, that is, the lackness of the ideal father by inspecting the father's images in their works. The hurt and lack in her childhood makes the female really disappointed to the shortness of the male ideal characteristic and produce a adamant psychological state, that is, to chase after the ideal father image again and again which losses from other men as compensation while growing up. The female chooses love to escape hardship. In the paternity society, they were not the main body and the fate of the three obedience -obedience to father before marriage, to husband after marriage, and to son after husband's death decided that the full meaning for the female to exist was whether their marriage was happy or not. Therefore, their yearning for love and attachments to marriage become strong. But they face emptiness and in completeness behind the male mirror image. The Utopian ideal picture is doomed to vanish into thin air and this kind of vanish is inevitable to impel the female who is lack of personality orientation to doubt her own life value and living significance and rebel actively and further. That so-called love to father has been substituted by female vindictiveness and patricide which cannot be fulfilled. The substitutive father has degenerated into a crazy abnormal person whose existence wins complete living hope of the female leading character. It is sure to cause vindictiveness after humiliation and will certainly be banished to death beneath contempt. The female existence in the male writer's works is demonstrated through male's lust. But the female quality changes in female writer's works. They dress according to their own preference, conduct themselves in society according to their own personality, select work according to their interests even catch partners according to their sexual desire. The male gradually become targets those are controlled by the female beneath their attracting smell. The relation between the female and the male is changed completely from originally powerful male and weak female to weak male and powerful female. While the female status in economics, policy, culture etc is increasing gradually, they are more sensitive to the male's coward wretchedness and inability. The sturdy and straight father image disappears gradually and those substitutions have degenerated into tools controlled by the female and banished or withered away in the female writers' description. Emptiness with support of mind turns them to pursue psychological diversion. The instinctive intimate feeling dissimilates the intendancy to the female, but afraid ness of mistaken sex-intendancy or silly psychology make them stop on time while facing dangerous attraction and feel lonely to the bone and desperate deeply while realizing the boundary of homosexual feeling. They even attempt to combine the front-back parts and the up-down parts of the same sex and the opposite sex, in o...
