理想的超越与现实的沉沦——《红楼梦》中甄宝玉的形象价值论

《红楼梦》中的甄宝玉与贾宝玉思想个性先同后异,并最终彻底分化。小说中二者并置,互相映衬,意在表现离经叛道与回归仕途两种不同的人生模式和人生态度。甄、贾二玉性格由合而分的过程,是作者在世俗化与个性化之间徘徊游移并最终取舍的过程;二玉最终的性格分裂,也流露了作者创作心理的矛盾:他虽然最终令贾宝玉选择了出世之路,但在感情上又不能全然跳脱俗世的牵绊,因此让甄宝玉从贾宝玉身上分离出来,选择了另一条人生道路。二者相互补充,既可以写出仕途经济对一个人的荼毒和异化,又可以突出贾宝玉最终抉择的艰难和可贵。

Transcendence of Ideal and Degradation of Reality:the Image Value of ZHEN Bao-yu in the Dream of the Red Chamber

In the Dream of the Red Chamber,the thought and personality of ZHEN Bao-yu and JIA Bao-yu are the same at first but become different later,and finally turn to be completely different.The author juxtaposes these two characters to show two different life modes and attitudes between rebelling against orthodoxy and regressing to the official career.The process of the two Bao-yu' character shift from resemblance to difference implies the author's final choice after wavering between succumbing to the mundane lifestyle and embracing unique individuality.The separation between the two Bao-yu'ss also shows the conflict in the author'ss mental state of composing.The author finally chooses a path of escaping away from worldly considerations for JIA Bao-yu,but on the other hand,he could not stay away from worldly emotions,so he decides to separate Zhen Bao-yu from JIA Bao-yu,and chooses a different way of life for the former.The two ways of life complement each other and demonstrate fully that the author has no alternative in the human life,so he not only portrays the torment and dissimilation of official career economy to a man,but also highlights the difficulty and value of JIA Bao-yu final choice.
