《孔雀东南飞》中焦母历来为人们所贬斥,焦母作为封建家长制的反面角色,似乎从来没有改变过,“姑恶”也早成定论。本文试图从“姑恶”本身出发,联系那个时代的历史事实,重新解读焦母形象。造成焦仲卿﹑刘兰芝婚姻悲剧之元凶并非是某个人,而是多种力量共同作用的结果,是在宗法社会孝文化及礼教压力下,人性被扭曲,个人失去“自由”所造成的。 “Peacock flying southeast” in the focus has always been denounced by the people, as the feudal patriarchal mother of the negative role, it seems that has never changed, “” “aunt” is also a long way into the forefront.

It is caused by the distortion of human nature and personal loss of freedom under the pressure of patriarchal culture and ethical standards in the patriarchal clan society.
