The aim of this article is to make an in-depth comparative analysis of the two classic literary images of Zhu Yingtai and Juliet from a feminist perspective. The article firstly introduces the background and significance of the study, and then, it conducts a literature review of feminist theories and the current status of domestic and international studies on the images of Zhu Yingtai and Juliet. This article focuses on the connotation of the images of the two female characters and their literary status in their respective cultural backgrounds, and analyzes the oppression and constraints they bear from a feminist perspective, and compares the courage and determination they show in rebelling against traditional concepts and pursuing free love. The images of Zhu Yingtai and Juliet not only convey the concepts of equal rights and free love, but also have far-reaching influence on the real society and literary creation.
