The Evolution of the Image of Ordinary Females in Cities from the Perspective of Patriarchy——From Song and Yuan Dynasty Scripts to The Water Margin
Comparing different female protagonists in Song and Yuan Dynasty Scripts and The Water Margin,it can be seen that the latter inherited and changed the female images in the former.They both depicted intelligent and talented females,and gave them the same tragic fate.Unlike the simple portrayal of women's own desire in-dulgence in the Song and Yuan Dynasty Scripts,The Water Margin vaguely expressed that the mismatch of marriage and the dissatisfaction of post-marital emotions were important reasons for women's tragedies.Compared with the patriarchal society of the Song and Yuan dynasties,the author of The Water Margin had made great progress in un-derstanding women's emotions.
