农村女性在买卖婚姻中受虐、被辱而走向“挥刀”杀人的无望反抗，是台湾作家李昂小说《杀夫》与旅美作家严歌苓小说《谁家有女初长成》的共同主题。两位生活在不同地域文化氛围中的女作家通过各自不同的书写方式，不仅将其笔下女主人公家庭中相似的生存困境展现在读者面前，也揭示了女性在生活中的多层次诉求，提供了文本背后的多重文化空间，引发了我们对合理婚姻的深入思考。%It is a joint theme in The Killing of a Husband by Li Ang, a Taiwanese writer, and Shuijia Younü Chu Zhangcheng by Yan Geling, a sojourning writer in America, that features rural women who are in such despair that they“brandish knives”and kill when they suffer ill-treatment and humiliation in mercenary marriages. These two women writers, living in different regional cultures and writing in their own very different ways, present to the readers not only the similar survival predicaments in the families of their female protagonists but also reveals multi-layered appeals women make in their lives, thus providing a multiple cultural space behind the texts that induces our thinking in depth on rational marriages.
