家庭的社会异化——解读克莱斯特的戏剧《施劳芬斯坦家族》

Social Alienation within the Family——An Interpretation of The Family Schroffenstein by Heinrich von Kleist

家族纷争与随之导致的家庭瓦解是克莱斯特的戏剧《施劳芬斯坦家族》突出反映的主题。从社会因素的角度出发,分析不同家庭模式所体现的权力关系,探究人在利益的激烈角逐中发生的异化。最终,亲情抵挡不过物质的贪欲,爱情抵消不了仇恨,个体的幸福被扼杀在家族财产的争夺之中。

The drama The Family Schroffenstein by Heinrich von Kleist centers on the conflicts within the clan and the consequent family disintegration. From the social perspective, this paper probes into the varied power relations within different family patterns to see how human nature is alienated in competition for benefits. As a result of the alienation, kinship succumbs to rapacity, love to hatred, and the scrambling for heritage makes the individual happiness impossible.
