救赎：周朴园的性格本色

《雷雨》中周朴园对梅侍萍的感情性质始终是学术界争议的焦点．把周朴园对梅侍萍的感情归结为其阶级本质的虚伪表现，或错开文本干脆认定是一种未经充分展开的真爱命题，都有不当之处．本文认为周朴园对梅侍萍的怀念已经滤净了爱情的世俗因素，它超越了情感的现实可能而仅仅是一种宗教赎罪的程式．

Atonement-the True Character of Zhou Puyuan

The nature of Zhou Puyuan's feelings for Mei Siping in Thunder Storm is a focus of controversy in academia. This paper argues that it is inappropriate to regard Zhou's feelings for Mei as hypocritical-typical of his social class, or based on staggered text simply hold them as a proposition of true love that is not fully developed. Zhou's yearning for Mei is free from the worldly elements of love, beyond any possibilities of emotions. It is only a form of religious atonement.
