明清短篇白話小說中許多關於偽稱患病的段落展現了患者將疾病當作一種策略的做法，其中女性的貞節問題常常是這類情節的核心。有兩種情形最為常見：第一種，女性以疾病為藉口來拒絕她不願接受的婚姻或性關係，在這種情形下，疾病既是女性身體的破壞者，又是其貞節的保護者。第二種是誤傳病亡事件。男性被誤傳病亡，有利於檢測他的妻子是否忠貞，因為他由此得以窺測到自己死後情形的預演。與之相對，關於女性病亡的假消息得以傳播，則可能是為了掩蓋她和心上人私奔的事實，這則假消息隱含著對其道德的強烈價值批判。這些小說探索了作為策略的疾病的種種敘事潛力，彰顯了慾望和社會道德標準之間的張力。 [Go to the full record in the library's catalogue]
