《玉米》的世界是一个两性斗争的世界,如果说缺少了男性会让小说暗淡失色的话,那么如果缺少了女性小说就会失去它存在的意义。然而,女性虽然是小说的主角,但她们却始终生活在不同权力交织的阴影下,在各种权力的摆布下沦为男人的财产、生育的工具、玩弄的对象,显示出强烈的悲剧性。 The world of “corn” is a world of gender struggles. If the lack of men will dim the novel, the absence of a female novel will lose its meaning. However, although women are the protagonists of the novel, they always live under the shadow of different powers and are reduced to the property of men, the tools of reproduction and the object of play under the merits of various powers, showing a strong tragedy.
