Abstract

Female issues are hotly debated no matter what time of the year it is, Jiang Heji's novel The Others published in 2023 is a novel about women's issues, and his women's images are three-dimensional and vivid, and the novel itself is very innovative, Jiang Heji takes the more sensitive issues of sexual assault and domestic violence as a subject matter of writing, and builds up the real lives of three women: Kim Zhenya, Yang Xiuzhen, and He Youli through the subjective perspectives of different characters. This paper tries to base on the female images in Jiang Heji's The Others, to systematically explore the female images in Jiang Heji's The Others by using the methods of interpretation and close reading of the text, to analyse the reasons for the lack of female consciousness of the female images in the novels, and to discuss the consequences of the lack of female consciousness of female images in the novels, so as to find ways to solve the problem of the lack of female consciousness.
