《三國演義》是一部以豐富、浩瀚的三國歷史資料為素材的史詩般的偉大作品，它反映了三國時代錯綜複雜的矛盾與衝突，描寫了九十七年間連綿不斷的戰爭。小說雖以史實為基礎，但在流傳的過程中，經過一代代人的加工改寫以及羅貫中的刪減潤色，編撰出不少史實和虛構相結合的故事情節與人物形象。在和戰交替的頻繁活動中，作者以其如　巨筆有機而完整地交織了兒女夫婦之情等愛憎恩怨。本論文擬通過三方面：愛情婚姻和小說思想傾向的聯繫等角度去探討人物的愛情與婚姻，也從愛情與婚姻的角度去窺視小說。儘管小說是從側面反映女性的命運，它還是讓讀者把握到了女性在那個時代的生活事實真相以及她們悲劇遭遇。這表明一種真正新穎的審美觀在這描寫戰爭的園圃中萌芽，一種美的格局在這裡起步。它深遠的影響了後來問世的一系列歷史演義小說。
