Femme Fatale 妖姬(繡妙)

妖姬(黑寡婦、調情者、【希神】塞壬、【希神】塞斯、勾引男人的女人、女巫)
有時如唐璜般的女人,增加了極致扭轉的操控能力,因而顛覆了傳統的性別刻版印象。
就像唐璜,妖姬展現了在不投入個人情感下操控男人的高超技巧。其代表了來自於抑或是獲取錢及權力的性及財力之原型。儘管妖姬並不尋求家或者是家庭生活,但為了錢財、權力、個人的控制及生存而誘惑男人,其可謂之箇中翹楚。
像唐璜的原型,當男性面拒絕操蹤或附屬於女性面時,其會展現心胸開放的正向面。就像亂世佳人中白瑞德最後離開郝思嘉。

Femme Fatale (Black Widow, Flirt, Siren, Circe, Seductress, Enchantress)

The female counterpart of Don Juan sometimes adds the twist of killing her conquests as an
expression of her ability to dominate, thereby reversing the conventional sexual stereotypes.
As with Don Juan, the Femme Fatale represents highly refined skills at manipulating men without investing personal emotion. The Femme Fatale is a sexual and a financial archetype, and either comes from or is drawn to money and power. Seducingmen with money and power and for the sakeof personal control and survival is a classic part of this archetype, although the Femme Fatale is not looking for a home in the suburbs and the pleasures of family life.
As with the Don Juan archetype, the positive aspect of this pattern is the opening of the heart, which often occurs when the male object rejects the manipulations and dependency of the Femme Fatale, as Rhett Butler rejects Scarlett O’Hara at the end of Gone with the Wind.

Her name is Zeleikha in Islamic tradition); Tapairu (Polynesian nymphs who inhabit the waters that lead to the underworld. The goddess of death employs them to seduce men away from the earth); Lorelei (in Teutonic myth, a beautiful maiden who drowned herself after being spurned by her lover, and was then transformed into a siren whose hypnotic music lured sailors to their death).
