Abstract:Both Mrs Dalloway written by British novelist Woolf and Miss Lü Fangshi by Chinese novelist Conxue emphasize the confrontation between body and spirit, and consider it as the contradiction of human nature. The specific representations of body in the two texts on the three levels of nature, concept and society are contradictory to each other. Mrs. Dalloway retains gender as a fact and re-establishes sexuality of pleasure; cancels the abstract universality of the body and establishes the individuality of the body; conceives the body that has no physical boundary and may perish, attributing the meaning of body to spirit. This reveals Woolf’s inclination of regarding the body as a means. In contrast, Miss Lü Fangshi cancels the gender fact and reconstructs the sexuality of passion; cancels the individuality of the body, aiming at establishing the deep universality of the body; conceives a universal body structure that owns physical boundaries but don’t perish, believing that the meaning of the body exists in the body itself. Thus, body exists as the end in Canxue’s intention. These two kinds bodies, which are equally valid but contradictory propositions to each other, constitute a stable antinomy relationship, reflecting the coexistence of aesthetic body and life body among differences in modern context.
