摘要：阎真先生的《沧浪之水》在以主人公池大为的人生经历为主线展开故事的同时，亦着力刻画了几位女性的独特形象。作者在描写这些女性形象时全无雷同之嫌，由于她们的背景、经历、文化层次的不同，每个人有每个人的独特性格。许小曼、屈文琴、董柳这三个在主人公池大为的人生经历中最重要的女性各有其特征，但作者并不是仅仅从人写人，而是写出了每个人性格形成的根源，并把形成每个人性格特征的文化背景凸现了出来，深刻地刻画了在机关工作的女性形象，从而反映了深广的社会文化内容。通过对这些女性形象的性格特征以及命运的分析，可以看出，在20世纪90年代的市场经济条件下，“金钱至上，权力至上”的观念弥漫在整个中华大地上，当代的知识分子，尤其是知识女性面对这些诱惑是难以抵抗的，于是有不少人便成了权力与金钱的奴隶。在她们心中，“孔子死了！”而且早已将知识分子高贵的灵魂和良知出卖。这不仅是她们的悲哀，也是知识分子的悲哀，更是时代的悲哀。
