红楼独立人格纵横谈

A Free Discussion on the Independent Personality in Red Mansions

用自己的思维思考问题,按照自己的意愿来生活,此之谓独立人格。顺从专制者的意志生活,是谓顺民。专制者奉行"顺我者昌,逆我者亡",由此,红楼到处是顺民。顺贾政的傅试、赖大、赵姨娘们,昌;逆贾政的贾宝玉,虽然是亲生子,差一点儿亡,幸好有老祖母救命。贾政是无能的专制者,又是无能的顺民。薛宝钗、花袭人是有能的顺民。人的异化,顺民的普遍社会化,是专制制度的产物,是社会退步和消亡的基本原因。社会的发展依赖于人的独立人格的复归。"红楼三玉"和贾探春,是独立人格的佼佼者。贾探春独立人格的完善过程,更有典型意义。她与曾经合作伙伴薛宝钗的决裂,标志着她人格的升华。此外,贾惜春和司棋的独立人格也很特别。

I think, so I exist, which is the so-called independent personality. One who lives in accordance with the will of the dictator is called an obedient. Because dictators pursue a creed that let those who comply with them thrive and those who resist them perish, there are obedient subordinates everywhere in the mansions. Jia Yucun and some others submit to Jia Zheng and become thrived, while Jia Baoyu, though as Jia Zheng＇s son, almost becomes perished for his disobedience. A society＇s development relies on the return of independent personality of its members, but the alienation of man and the generalized social enslavement are a product of despotism and a principle cause of social degeneration.
