连番溃败后的救赎与终结——重读《高老夫子》

Redemption and End after Repeated Failures——Rereading of Professor Kao

《高老夫子》中的高老夫子身处五四时代却不规避旧式文人的恶德,以金钱弥补欲望、不学无术与好色尤为触目,“巨婴症”的心理更是加剧了其形象的喜剧性。鲁迅在《高老夫子》中对知识分子的讽刺与批判上承《儒林外史》的讽刺传统,下启钱锺书《围城》的反讽叙事,更积极呼应了1920年兴起的“反智识阶级”文学文化思潮。

Professor Kao,the main character in Professor Kao by Lu Xun,has many characteristics of the old intellectuals,being money-hungry,ignorant,and lustful.The psychology of“a giant infant”aggravates the comic features of Professor Kao’s image.Lu Xun’s satire and criticism of intellectuals in Professor Kao connects the tradition of satire in The Scholars and the satirical narrative in Qian Zhongshu’s The Besieged City and actively echoes the literary and cultural trend of thought of“anti-intellectual class”in the 1920s.
