贾宝玉罪感心理的文化分析

The Cultural Analysis of the Psychology of Jia Bao-yu’s Guilty Sense

贾宝玉是《红楼梦》中十分复杂的人物形象。他身上表现出的鲜明、强烈的罪感心理是其形象的一大特征。他不是以文化的创造者而自居,却以文化的罪人而自命,他的自轻自贱自贬就是罪感心理的表现与流露。从文化成因上分析,贾宝玉的罪感心理是对君父思想的忏悔,希望以此来向国家、君父负荆请罪。这样的忏悔又表现为一种救赎行为,他认为男权文化对女性犯有“原罪”,他主动地担荷此罪而负重前行,故而使他的生命历程充满了浓厚的悲剧意识,而罪感心理又使他获得了超越生命悲剧的内在力量。

Jia Bao-yu is a very complicated personage＇ s image in A Dream of Red Mansion. The distinct, strong guilty sense demonstrated on him is a great characteristic of his image. He does not pose as the creator of culture and regards himself as the sinner of culture. Therefore his self-belittling and self-denigrating are the expression and revelation of his guilty sense. Analyzed from the original cause of cultural formation, Jia Bao-yu＇ s guilty sense is the confession to the father＇ s thought, hoping to proffer a birch to ask for a flogging for the country, that is, the father. Such confession could also be regarded as one kind of self-salvation, since he thinks that the man-centered culture has committed the original sin to women. So he would like to take the responsibility of burdening this kind of crime voluntarily, as a result of which he moves forward with difficulties. This makes his life journey firll of strong tragic consciousness, while the guilty sense makes him gain the inherent power to transcend the life tragedy.
