《金瓶梅》是一部文人小說，作者有意識地讓小說人物互為參照、呼應、對比。全書的前八十回的男性是以西門慶為敘述中心，後二十回西門慶死後，男性以陳經濟，女性則以龐春梅為敘事中心，陳經濟見證了西門府的快速衰敗，他走出家庭走向市井。並以張二官作為繼起的，未來無數可能的西門慶之一為。同時，前八十回寫西門慶與連同一妻五妾在內的諸多女人的生活，是男性以權力財富交換他渴望的欲望與權勢。到了後二十回，依然是談家庭興衰，卻是以女性為欲望中心：從龐春梅看西門府的興衰，兼看周守備的榮盛與死亡；並從葛翠屏的角度再次確認，作為正室必須是大器，或者沈默面對其他妾室；通過以「愛」為名的韓愛姐，看到《金瓶梅》在重利寫欲之餘仍有救贖的可能，仍有一道從欲望裡提升的微光
