The internal driving forces for the dissolution of the family and its solidifiability in modern literature

In the New Culture Movement of the May Fourth Period, a major offense was launched against the institution of the feudal family, and there appeared many literary works on the dissolution of the family. A common characteristic of these works is that they tend to show that the internal driving forces for family dissolution come from women. Through an analysis of a series of literary works from this period, this paper examines the subtle mentality of people (including the authors themselves) of this period. It is argued that although the modern ideas accepted by people of this period includes an emphasis on the personal development of the individual and an attempt to break up the constraints of tradition, acceptance of such ideas at the intellectual level was not synchronized with their acceptance at the emotional level, and that in order to lessen the psychological impact of such ideas, the authors chose women from outside, i.e., daughters-in-law in extended families, to shoulder the task of breaking up the family, resulting in various women characters who break up the family in the history of modern literature.
