FROM BODY IMAGERY TO FREE CONSCIOUSNESS——ON THE EVOLUTION OF FEMALE CONSCIOUSNESS IN"BREAST AND HIP ENHANCEMENT"
In"Big Breasts and Wide Hips",the body is a symbol of female freedom consciousness.The novel shapes Shangguan Lu's contradictory body,which has both the ethical orientation of breeding tools and the iemotional sustenance of great maternal love.The novel portrays the perfect,deformed,and incomplete bodies of Shangguan Laidi,Shangguan Lingdi,and single breast Lao Jin as meta-phors for the changes in women's self-awareness.The development of female consciousness can be divided into three stages:reflection of female consciousness,renewal of female consciousness and rise of female consciousness,which are respectively reflected in Shang-guan Lu,Shangguan Lu's daughter and single breast Lao Jin.From this,we can sort out the internal context of the evolution of women's freedom consciousness.
