On The Female Prototype Of Contemporary Romantic Fiction In China

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the original connotation,its aberrance and explication of some female prototypes existing in contemporary romantic fictions of China.By so doing,it will be illuminated that the unique permanent charm of contemporary romantic fiction and its significance in Chinese contemporary literature .The tinctures of phase, expiation, moralization and consultation have come into being in contemporary romantic fiction of the Great China because of the archetypal stamps of fictional style which manifest that the prototypes in western novels and plays have been utilized for reference and the prototypes in traditional novels acceded in contemporary romantic fiction.Action is to be taken from four aspects to investigate the female prototype in contemporary literature.At first,sex ,goodliness and virtue are focuses of the female prototype.Due to the poignant jostles among all kinds of ideas,men's intrinsic sexual conception and the significance of their sexual action is unprecedentedly oppugned and challenged by the female.Confronted with the sex,women feel not only fearless,but also puzzled.Goodliness is an important benchmark to evaluate the aesthetic worthiness of woman in Chinese traditional culture.As far as the contemporary romantic fiction is concerned,the good looks of women is much more a focus which is always a vital factor to help the female carry it in love affairs.Virtue should be absolutely regarded as an ancient topic about woman.Although its patriarchal clan contents has been discarded and the male has also been bandaged by virtue,the female is the victim without reference to what happened to the virtue.Secondly, Cinderella, White-Snow princess, Regina and Huo Xiao-yu are four representative love models of the female prototype.Cinderella could be found in China and foreign countries.When the main body of the love story between Cinderella and prince was kept down,to some extent,this model was twisted and explicated,which makes such a model can be equal to traditional popular romance with a handsome scholar and pretty girl and which is prevailing in readers. The model of Regina refers to the strongwomen in contemporary romantic fictions whose consummation in love always takes on visional tinge because she is defaced innocent womenfolk whose affection is larruping since she has to be after both love and personal evaluation.Huo Xiao-yu turned into prostitutes in contemporary romantic fictions whose images and significance has been altered for harlots are denied by law and social ethic.Thirdly,elopement,dying for love and incest are three prototypes of tabu concerned with the female.The common ground among them is that their formation and survivorship have something to do with the long-run regulations on sexual actions and relationships.These prototypes embody the violation to sexual tabus which was severely punished and in which the female was always contraposed. Elopement's violation to sexual tabu renders sex a free and self-conscious demeanour,which was criticized by traditional ethic in China.Dying for love offends not only the sexual tabu,but also the tabu of death.It is rare that a couple die for love at the same time and the female always dies for love in contemporary novels,which indicates in essential that the womenfolk should be sternly castigated because of their behaviors. Incest is obscure in contemporary romantic fictions,which is not only interpreted into that love has break away from abnormality and obscuration because of social civilization and development,but also displays that incest is an action hated by Chinese people.Finally,the power of mother,vengeance and recompense are three emotional prototypes.There are much difference on perceiving and expressing emotion between male and female.When opening out the process of hankering,feasting and losing love,the contemporary romantic fiction brings forth sufficient proof to comprehend the expressing style of female sensibility.Coping with the love and marriage of offspring,Chinese mother, esp. widowed mother always avail herself of mother right to interfere with child's choice.Confronted with enmity,the female would take the same action as the male would to revenge;meanwhile love might be the cause of vengeance and maybe the effective trick to avenge.The method of woman's repaying an obligation is to be his wife.Although such deportment was criticized in some works and woman was suggested to discriminate love from recompense,the female's final decision was determined by her social status and rational recognition on recompense.Impersonal is the flaws of the contemporary romantic novels.It is severely castigated that the expressive force of art is poor and much contention is identical and too simple and the creation is short of individuality,etc. .Fortunately,a powerful libido was injected into the contemporary romantic novel by inheriting and processing a lot of prototypes,which is the main cause to make those fictions prevail permanently.
