Pan Jinlian was a slave since childhood, and was later "rewarded" or "sold" to Wu Dalang, who was short and ugly. This marriage has no feelings at all. Under the bondage of feudal moral system, Pan Jinlian had no choice but to endure. That's already unfortunate. If she doesn't meet a second man in her life and stay in a cooking room in Wu Dalang, she will wither and die, just like countless ordinary women in China for generations, which is still a great tragedy that suppresses human nature. If the people of China give Pan Jinlian a moral laurel, no matter how beautifully decorated, it can't cover up the evil that destroys youth and stifles human nature.
However, in the end, life did not let Pan Jinlian go along this tragedy, but turned to another tragedy.
After all, Pan Jinlian is a living person. After all, she is young and beautiful. No matter how depressed she is, she needs emotional life and sexual comfort. All this, Wu Dalang can't give her. In this case, the encounter with Wu Erlang awakened Pan Jinlian's sense of emotional life, and dry wood was caught in a fire for a long time. However, in the snare of feudal moral system, divorce is impossible, which should be regarded as a big violation. She had to follow the path of many women persecuted by unfortunate marriages: cheating. This is immoral behavior oppressed by inhuman society; Under the oppression of the evil moral system, it is a perverted struggle to seize the right to life. Why should we be so mean to Pan Jinlian and insult them for hundreds of years when we agree with those women who cheat and incest in ancient Greek dramas and praise them as great and sad women?
If Wu Erlang agrees to Pan Jinlian's request, then according to logic, various developments may occur. First, uncle and sister-in-law commit adultery, which has not been discovered for a long time, with hypocrisy outside and thieves and prostitutes inside; That is the most common phenomenon in China's ancient and modern society. Even if it happens, no one can make irresponsible remarks. Second, uncle and sister-in-law eloped successfully, eloped and established a new life. I believe Pan Jinlian will also be a wine seller, accompanying Wu Erlang all his life and becoming a historical story. Third, when uncle and sister-in-law cheated on each other for a period of time, Wu Erlang got bored and left. Pan Jinlian either went back to the old times and stayed with Wu Dalang to suppress his humanity more cruelly; Or meet Simon, and write the same story as the existing water margin. Fourth, uncle and sister-in-law conspired to kill Wu Dalang, which constituted an accomplice.
But Wu Erlang is not good at womanizing, doesn't know Pan Jinlian and doesn't want to have an affair with him. So Pan Jinlian is facing great challenges. On the one hand, Chun Qing's madness is irreversible, and on the other hand, there is no vent channel, which is one of the most easily destroyed emotional states. So the powerful Simon officer came to pick up the bargain, and Wang Po, who was engaged in emotional and physical trading, was able to start. In order to get rid of the tragedy of his unfortunate marriage with Wu Dalang, Pan Jinlian fell into another deeper tragedy and regarded being played as love.
One of the characteristics of China's feudal absolutism concept system is to completely deny the existence of individual humanity, and absolutely require all individual humanity to obey the rational norms respected by the group. Compared with social composition, each individual's humanity has lost the value of existence. Under the rule of this concept, any thoughts and practices that require affirmation of personal existence value, respect for personal feelings, personal will and personal life are regarded as violating moral precepts and accused of the degradation of personal quality. Pan Jinlian is such a victim of social moral evil.
Unfortunately, Pan Jinlian's desire to satisfy her love life finally drove her into Simon's arms. On the one hand, any individual must reflect the social group in which he lives. On the other hand, any individual has a thousand reasons to exist independently and be affirmed. Therefore, no matter how many life choices Pan Jinlian may have, no matter how she actually spent her life, her tragedy is by no means a lack of personal character, but a real social tragedy.
It's sad enough to be treated as love. Master Simon further turned a helpless and weak woman into a murderer. It is conceivable that if Wu Erlang was not such a hero and didn't fight for his brother's revenge, Pan Jinlian would naturally get away with it according to the power of Simon. However, it is not difficult to estimate that after playing with Pan Jinlian for a while, Master Simon will definitely find another woman and kick Pan Jinlian away. At that time, Master Simon would still put Pan Jinlian on death row for murder or sell him to prostitutes. In short, no matter how you imagine, Pan Jinlian can't escape a tragic ending.
