Abstract

Nowadays, more and more women have joined social life, and the consciousness of women has been paid more and more attention. More and more scholars have devoted themselves to the study of female consciousness. Based on the opera or drama scripts of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and many versions of ‘White Snake’, the author analyzes the characters representing the female characters of the East and the West. The study found that both works praise the awakening consciousness of women, but in ‘Romeo and Juliet’, Juliet still compromises, and ‘White Snake’ reflects the submission to the secular. The two works are still greatly influenced by the patriarchal society. However, both writers are important figures in promoting the emancipation of women’s thoughts in the history of literature.
