What were the endings of the women in Dream of the Red Chamber? (To be seated)
Dream of the Red Chamber was a classic Chinese novel that told the story of Jia Baoyu and his family at the end of the feudal society of the Qing Dynasty. There were many important characters in the novel, such as Jia Baoyu's cousin Lin Daiyu, Jia Baoyu's cousin Xue Baochai, Jia Baoyu's wife and concubine Xiren, etc. Among these women, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai were two important characters in the novel. Lin Daiyu was a smart, kind and beautiful woman, but her family was weak and easily bullied in the feudal society. In the end, she passed away due to excessive grief. The novel did not give her final ending. Xue Baochai was a smart, decisive and intelligent woman. Her character and thoughts were different from Lin Daiyu. In the novel, she eventually married Jia Baoyu and became a happy wife, but she was also ostracized by her family because of her ambition and power, and finally spent her old age alone. The other women also had different endings. For example, Xiren left Jia Baoyu because she was pregnant and was married to someone else after being accepted as Lady Wang's daughter. Although Wang Xifeng was also Jia Baoyu's cousin, she was demoted to a commoner because of her conspiracy and power. The granddaughter of the Grandmother Jia, Shi Xiangyun, died of illness. All the women in Dream of the Red Chamber had different fates and endings. Their lives were filled with joys and sorrows.
