The Divergence Between Author's Intention and Text Effect——Two Teaching Notes in Rickshaw Boy
Lao She's original intention is naturally to write Xiangzi as a"victim",thus exposing the darkness and irrationality of the social system and social environment.However,if a writer has an honest observation of life and human nature,he can always show the richness and complexity of life and human nature.Xiangzi's failure and degradation lies in institutional and environmental reasons,as well as the result of a series of choices—not all of which are forced,but in most cases are his own choices.Lao She has subjective malice towards the character of Tigress,but the character of Tigress constitutes a resistance and challenge to the female imagination of the patriarchal culture.Tigress is not a man's imagination of the woman,and she lives in their own imagination;Tigress is not a woman in a man's desire,and she lives in her own desire.
