Analysis of Lin Daiyu's Characters in A Dream of Red Mansions

[Abstract] Lin Daiyu's ideological character has both a self-esteem, sensitivity, sharpness, aloof and fragile side, as well as a respectful, upright, generous, modest and strong side. The former is external and the latter is internal, and the two are dialectical unity in her. The internal connection is: from the philosophy of life, I respect the principle that Daiyu respects me, which is full of the seeds of modern equality concept. Politically speaking, it is Daiyu's persistent rebellion against the life path and values endowed by this class to the younger generation. From the perspective of marriage, it is Daiyu who insists that marriage must be based on love, and love must be based on the rebellious thought of * * *. These three factors also form the essential characteristics of Lin Daiyu's ideological character.

Text: Among the many women in A Dream of Red Mansions, the author is the best, and she is also a figure admired by the author. She was born in a Zhong Ding family in Gusu, and her father Lin Ruhai had a criminal record. She used to practice medicine in Lantai and was appointed as Yangzhou Salt Affairs Ambassador. Mother is Jia's daughter and Jia Zheng's sister. Because her mother died and was not accompanied by her biological brothers and sisters, her grandmother pitied her loneliness and took her to Guo Rong's home to raise her. Daiyu grew up smart and comely, accompanied by poetry. After entering Beijing, I lived in Jiafu for a long time and loved Baoyu. She is aloof, pure and frank, stingy and suspicious, and she is a feudal rebel. She despises fame and fortune, shares the same ideals and aspirations as Baoyu, and really loves each other, but her love was brutally strangled by Mrs. Wang and others. Lin Daiyu, who has both ability and political integrity, was born with beauty, and eventually lost her fragrance in helplessness, leaving behind her eternal wishes. Why did such a tragedy happen? The following is a detailed analysis of Lin Daiyu's sexual characteristics.

First, Lin Daiyu's main personality characteristics

(1) Lin Daiyu is stingy and naive. Lin Daiyu is dependent on others, so everything seems to be carefully concerned for fear that her self-esteem will be hurt. Due to various environmental factors, she has a "narrow-minded" side in addition to her original personality. Everyone knows Lin Daiyu's "narrow-minded", but behind her "narrow-minded" is frankness. Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu really love each other, but she is also under great pressure. She regards Guo Baochai and Shi Xiangyun as rivals in love, being sarcastic and sometimes making fun of everyone, which is almost unreasonable. If Guo Baochai is ill, Jia Baoyu should visit, but when Dai Yu saw it, she said unhappily, "Oh, I came at a bad time! If I had known she was coming, I wouldn't have come. " If there is such a thorn, Guo Baochai and Jia Baoyu will not be able to step down. However, while revealing her shortcomings, the straightforward Lin Daiyu also opened her innocent heart to people. In her eyes, there is no room for dust, but this is different. When she has a problem with someone or something, she is sharp. But it is also practical, and it is this frankness that has won the friendship of sisters, and no one treats her as an outsider. Sometimes without her, everyone feels empty and lonely. Her soul is clear, "narrow-minded" and bitter, but this is only a flaw in jade. In the Grand View Garden, she regarded Guo Baochai as her rival in love, but later she frankly met each other and became sisters, writing the most touching chapter in friendship. She was moved by Guo Baochai's kind criticism and said affectionately, "It's great that you always treat others like this. However, I am the most considerate person, and I only think you have a traitor in your heart. The day before yesterday, you said it was not good to read miscellaneous books, and you advised me of those good words. Thank you very much for your challenge. I was wrong before, but now Lin Daiyu, who seems to be "narrow-minded", can make mistakes. Besides, it's stingy. Lin Daiyu is tolerant not only in front of the twelve maids, but also in front of the maids. The maid Zijuan once criticized Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu for their frequent quarrels: "Bao's three points are wrong, and the girl's seven points are wrong." "Of course, there are many unreasonable places in this kind of thing, but Lin Daiyu doesn't blame her at all. In these respects, Lin Daiyu, who is considered "narrow-minded" and "annoying in action", is very open-minded and tolerant. When Baochai offered to give her a bird's nest in the 45th chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, Lin Daiyu said with a smile, "It's rare that you are so affectionate. Others don't know, but I think Lin Daiyu is really a caring person. In fact, Lin Daiyu suspected Guo Baochai for a reason. Guo Baochai did cheat on Lin Daiyu. It is natural for Lin Daiyu to be wary of her. When Lin Daiyu was lonely and depressed, Guo Baochai sent her some bird's nest. After whispering a few words, she took out her heart and told her all her secrets. Here, Lin Daiyu only believed Guo Baochai in some trivial matters, which not only changed her opinion, but also frankly told the other party what she had disrespected in the past. All this does not mean that she is naive and ignorant, but embodies her virtue of simplicity, purity and frankness.

(2) Lin Daiyu's self-esteem and inferiority complex.

In Lin Daiyu's rich personality, the most prominent thing is that she is bitter and critical of everything. In fact, these are superficial phenomena, and behind her personality is her very strong self-esteem. Insist on maintaining your self-esteem. It is required to respect and safeguard human dignity, and can not tolerate the slightest blasphemy against personality and self-esteem, which is the root of all her personality and the core part of her personality. After Lin Daiyu's mother died, she entered the capital and was placed under a patron. She "pays attention step by step, always cares, refuses to say a word easily, and goes further for fear of being laughed at." This just reflects her strong self-esteem. Lin Daiyu's heart is like this, because she often hears her mother say that grandma's house is different from other homes. These third-class domestic servants she has seen recently have extraordinary food and clothing, not to mention her home today. But now I am in a dependent position, not a "serious host", so I am more cautious, lest my self-esteem be damaged in front of everyone. It can be said that Lin Daiyu came to Jiafu with such strong self-esteem. Knowing this, we will find that Lin Daiyu's vitriolic remarks are closely related to her strong self-esteem. It is like a tightly stretched string, installed on Lin Daiyu, who is extremely sensitive. Whether consciously or unconsciously, it will vibrate strongly as long as it is touched lightly. The eighteenth time in A Dream of Red Mansions, Lin Daiyu mistakenly cut it. In "Celebrating Home for the Lantern Festival", Baoyu gladly gave all his possessions to his pages. When Lin Daiyu learned about it, she thought that the "purse" she gave him was also robbed by the pages, and said, "I gave them the purse I gave. Can you give me my things tomorrow? Say that finish, angrily returned to his room, holding a sachet made for Baoyu, and "picked it up and took a bite". Later, after Baoyu explained it to her, she also knew that Baoyu's "purse" was treasured in her arms, but she was still angry. Baoyu apologized to her, and she cried and said, "You don't have to treat me badly for the time being. If you want to be angry, just let it go. It's nothing! "Finally, I can't help asking Baoyu to make a short apology and be a' good sister' and' good sister'. At first glance, it seems that Lin Daiyu is really stingy and unreasonable. But as long as careful analysis, we can see that behind her "narrow-mindedness", what is hidden is her beautiful personality and her strong self-esteem. It is the expression of this strong self-esteem to ask for a special job in love, respect people and safeguard their dignity. [1] In the 26th episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, Lin Daiyu knocked at the door of Yee Hong Yuan and happened to meet Qingwen who was angry. She didn't hear Lin Daiyu's voice clearly, but she didn't open the door. Lin Daiyu was wrong about Jia Baoyu. She just sobbed under the shade of a flower. "After returning home, he" leaned against the railing of the bedside, holding his knees in his hands, and his eyes were full of tears, just like wood carving and clay sculpture, sitting straight for more than 20 days. "Guo Baochai and Shi Xiangyun have been viciously contradicted by Jia Baoyu, but they are all flushed, while Lin Daiyu is heartbroken because of a little misunderstanding, which shows her strong self-esteem. In order to defend her self-esteem, Lin Daiyu showed too many examples. But the most telling thing is that Lin Daiyu treats love with dignity, and life and love can be lost. In the 23rd episode of The West Chamber, Lin Daiyu found that Baoyu was reading Hui Zhen Ji, so she put down all the flowers and read the book, and the more she read it from the beginning, the more she loved it. She also smiled and said, "That's interesting. "But when Jia Baoyu took the opportunity to say," I am a sad and sick person, and you are the beauty of the country "to express love, Lin Daiyu suddenly raised two frowning eyebrows, stared at two staring eyes, and her cheeks were angry and her face was angry. She pointed at Baoyu angrily and said, "You're fucking talking nonsense. It's all right. I told my uncle and aunt. Speaking of bullying, my eyes are red. Turn around and go. All this shows how strong Lin Daiyu's self-esteem is. To sum up, for Lin Daiyu, self-esteem and inferiority are just twin sisters, the former is the externalization of the latter, and the latter is the connotation of the former. Different from Jia's family background and dependence on others, she has a deep inferiority complex. Therefore, she always tries to maintain her self-esteem in front of others, covering up her inner inferiority with self-esteem.

(3) Lin Daiyu's suspicious personality.

Lin Daiyu has some defects in her personality, which sometimes leads to her being unpopular with some people in Jia's family. Then how can she doubt it? There is a passage in the 26th episode of A Dream of Red Mansions: "Two people were just talking when Zijuan came in. Baoyu smiled and said," Zijuan, make me a bowl of your good tea. Daiyu said, "Ignore him." "Go and get me some water first." "He is a guest," said Zi Juan. "Naturally, he makes tea first, and then scoops water. "I said, and went to make tea. Baoyu smiled and said, "Good girl! If * * * you are affectionate and Miss * * pays the bill, how can you make the bed? "Lin Daiyu cried when she was in a hurry." Now all the newcomers have heard the dialect in the village, told me about it, read the fucking book and made fun of me. I became a man's liberation. "Crying out of bed go toward outside walk. Jia Baoyu was forced to swear: "Good sister, I will die for a while. You'd better not tell anyone. If I dare to say these words again, my mouth will grow boils and my tongue will rot. "Obviously, they watched The West Chamber together, and Lin Daiyu knew these words by heart. At this time, Baoyu casually said that he was "teasing" her. Fine chuai Lin Daiyu's psychology, probably because Zijuan was there, afraid of being teased by others, so she had to be reserved. However, Zijuan is loyal to Lin Daiyu, and even for her sake, she does not hesitate to contradict Jia's "serious master". Lin Daiyu is still so wary of people close to her, which shows that she is suspicious by nature. On another occasion, Lin Daiyu went to the hospital at night and met Qingwen quarreling with other girls. She couldn't recognize the voice, but she couldn't open the door, so she thought about it and rolled down her tears. I only heard a burst of laughter inside. Listen carefully, it is Baoyu and Baochai. Lin Daiyu was more and more moved and thought about it. It suddenly occurred to her that getting up early was the reason why Baoyu was angry with me and told him. Then the more she thought about it, the more sad she became. Soon, the pale platform was cold, and the flower diameter was cold. Under the shade of flowers in the independent corner, she sobbed sadly. Here, Lin Daiyu is not only suspicious, but also imaginative, and can mix completely irrelevant and unreasonable things together, thus fulfilling Jia Baoyu's ruthless charges. Before that, Baoyu told her that Tao Di said, "You are so smart that you don't even know' Don't get close, don't be arrogant first'". Although I am confused, I understand these two sentences. First of all, we are aunts, uncles and sisters. Sister Bao is two aunts and sisters, and relatives are farther than you. Second, you go first. The two of us have a table to eat and a bed to sleep. We grew up. She just came here. Is there anyone who is far away from you for her? This understanding can't dispel her doubts, which shows that Lin Daiyu is really an incomprehensible person. Logically speaking, even now, it is impossible to hear people talking at normal volume when standing outside the unit building. Besides, Baoyu Baochai is not loud, and Lin Daiyu is standing outside the door, so she can't hear you. There was a burst of laughter inside, and when I listened carefully, it turned out to be Baoyu and Baochai. These are just auditory hallucinations produced by Lin Daiyu's hypochondriac attack. This is inseparable from Lin Daiyu's suspicious character.

Second, the causes of Lin Daiyu's complex personality

As can be seen from history, Lin Daiyu was originally a pure, frank, warm and generous, gentle and considerate person, but due to various environmental factors, various complicated personality characteristics were caused. The 45th time in A Dream of Red Mansions, it was written that it rained at night, and Baoyu wanted to go back from Daiyu: Daiyu took a glass hydrangea lamp from the bookshelf, lit a small wax, and handed it to Baoyu, saying, "This one is brighter than that one, and it was lit in the rain." Baoyu said, "I have one, too. I'm afraid they slipped and broke, so I didn't order it. " Daiyu said, "Is it valuable to lower the lamp or to lower the value of people? What a sudden change of temper that puts triviality above importance! These places that open Daiyu's heart exude fragrance. How pure and beautiful her heart is! But Daiyu is also "narrow-minded", mean, stingy and suspicious. For example, in the 19th section of "Making Fragrance with Quiet Jade", Baoyu smelled a faint scent in Lin Daiyu's sleeve and grabbed it to see what was in the cage. Lin Daiyu said, "It must be the smell in the cupboard. The smell on the clothes is unknown. Baoyu said, "This is a strange smell, not those from sweet cake. "。 Lin Daiyu sneered, "Don't I have a' Lohan' or a' real person' to give me some incense? Even if I got strange fragrance, I didn't get flowers, frost or snow. I only have the smell of cereal. Baoyu said with a smile, "I smell strange." . Is there a' warm fragrance'? Baoyu couldn't untie it for a moment, so he asked, "What is this' warm fragrance'? "？" She smiled and said, "Fool, fool, if you have jade, people will have gold to match you, and if they have Leng Xiang, you will have no warm fragrance to match? Later, Baoyu spread. As we all know, Xue Baochai is the only person who owns "Leng Xiang" in A Dream of Red Mansions, and the "home" mentioned by Lin Daiyu certainly refers to Baochai. Start here, for example, sentence by sentence. The word "mother locust" describes all the scenery yesterday. Pour it out quickly! "In this way, it really depicts the petty and suspicious Lin Daiyu. From the analysis of so many things in Lin Daiyu's life, we can know why her personality is so complicated. Jia Fu, where Lin Daiyu lived, was a declining feudal family with typical traditional forces. Here I can find many unreasonable phenomena in feudal society. For example, it is this awakened person's values that make her pursue real life and true love, and fall in love with such disgusting "filial piety" as "the heart of Wang Xifeng" and "the colorful clothes with dramatic effect". Baochai's attentions to Lady Jia in eating, wearing, playing and guessing, her flattery to Princess Yuan in writing poems, and her actions in front of the maids. Mrs. Wang's crocodile tears in front of people, and the legacy of feudal society such as "Guo Menjing's love talk comforts the delusion". Although Lin Daiyu is a weak woman, she chose the life path of "clean, better than dirty ditches". In this way, she is noble and noble, and refuses to be vulgar and vulgar, which is bound to break away from the secular world. Therefore, because Lin Daiyu insists on her innate noble essence, she can't tolerate this filthy and secular greater dissatisfaction. It is the circular action of these reasons that forms the sharp contradiction and conflict between Lin Daiyu's personality and reality, and these conflicts form Lin Daiyu's rich and complex personality characteristics.

Third, the love tragedy of Lin Daiyu's life.

The love between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu is doomed to be a tragedy. Stubborn feudal ethics allowed their love to exist. Therefore, she dislikes her sick body and small family and warns them of their love again and again. From Today's Jade is a Good Marriage to Huizijuan's Love History, and then to Qingwen's Death, love finally reached the stage of destruction in Cha Daguan Garden. In this catastrophe, Si Qi, Fang Guan, Si Er, etc. Become victims one after another. Even sister Lin, who has eyebrows and eyes, was forced out of the Grand View Garden when she was seriously ill and finally died of surrender. All good ideals were finally destroyed. Lin Daiyu won love, but didn't get a happy marriage. Lin Daiyu is a naive girl after all. She fantasized that her love with Jia Baoyu would be recognized by feudal forces, but the beautiful fantasy was not attached to her. She is not as confident as Jia Baoyu. She is worried about not knowing what will happen in the future, and more about the tragic ending of love. Love without marriage is incomplete. It is Lin Daiyu who has developed love into a marriage that is more threatened and seems powerless. The fact is that their love is shrouded in a dark cloud, and the maker of the dark cloud is Jia Mu, and it is an important problem that Jia Mu chooses her beloved Baoyu's spouse for a long time. Lin Daiyu became a victim of her arrangement. Lin Daiyu was narrow-minded and offended many people around her in the Grand View Garden. She didn't consider her marriage. Her personality is aloof, she has no scruples about others, and her frankness is amazing. Lin Daiyu's character defect concealed her rebellious thoughts. She showed such courage and determination when her love and happiness were strangled. She expressed her strong resistance to the dark society by death. In addition, her strong self-esteem is also an important reason for her love tragedy. For example, it is also fully displayed in the 26th "Spring Sleepiness in Xiaoxiang Pavilion". Baoyu looked at the maid Zijuan in front of Lin Daiyu and said with a smile, "Good girl,' how can you make the bed if you are affectionate?" "At that time, Lin Daiyu was so angry that she was" face down "and cried:" Now she is emerging. She listened to the village outside and told me; Read fucking books and make fun of me. I became a man to relieve boredom. "Crying out of bed, go outside. Why did Lin Daiyu have such a big attack? When Baoyu came, she clearly heard Lin Daiyu sighing in bed, "sleepy every day", which showed that Lin Daiyu's love for Baoyu was infinitely hot. Every day, I am confused about Baoyu, thinking about songs and lingering, and what I say in my mouth is the so-called "mixed words." "Originally, the contents and words in Baoyu's words could bring Lin Daiyu joy of love, but Baoyu's way of expressing love hurt her dignity and made her unacceptable. Obviously, her strong self-esteem doomed her love tragedy. Such a beautiful, weak and brave tragic image will always be engraved in readers' hearts and in the history of China literature.

In a word, Lin Daiyu's personality in A Dream of Red Mansions is rich, profound and multifaceted. His personality characteristics are endowed by the times and formed in the struggle with the filthy secular world. Her artistic image is deeply rooted in people's hearts, touching readers and making people resonate. But this image is vivid. Her complex personality and obvious weaknesses, as well as her distinctive personality of daring to resist and pursue love, constitute a living individual. Let us feel that she is someone we know well and someone we love deeply. A Dream of Red Mansions is not only an ode to women, but also a tragedy for women. It is these outstanding women who are highly praised by the author, but they are doomed to have no happy ending in the book "Unfortunate Division". The authors use their tragic tears to brew mellow and sweet artistic wine, which is what the book says: "A thousand red caves (crying), a glass of Wan Yan (sadness)." It has become a thrilling love tragedy through the ages.
