强制的幸福或“不幸”的权利——分析《美丽新世界》中的异化现象

The Forced Happiness or the Right to “Misfortune”—An Analysis of Alienation in Brave New World

追求幸福是人类永恒的主题。无论是最初的安居乐业还是如今的躺平自由,都是对幸福的不同解答,人们为实现幸福的奋斗从未停止,希冀着早日到达幸福的彼岸。现实虽漫长,但文笔可先行,英格兰作家赫胥黎为我们刻画了一个距今600年的未来新世界,在那里人们终于可以衣食无忧、解放自我,摆脱生活带来的“不幸”,但是这种幸福的背后是“泯灭人性”,所有人都在“被幸福”即强制幸福,这样的生活让读者反思是否拥有“不幸”的权利才是幸福。文学帮助人们了解自己,本文试图通过分析《美丽新世界》中的异化现象,从而让人们深悟到真正的幸福精神和价值追求。

The pursuit of happiness is the eternal theme of human beings. Whether it is the original living and working in peace or the present freedom to lie down, both are different answers to happiness. People have never stopped fighting for happiness and hope to reach the other shore of happiness as soon as possible. Although the reality is long, the writing can be first. The English writer Huxley described for us a future world 600 years ago, where people can finally free themselves from food and clothing, free from the “misfortune” of life, but behind this happiness is “devoid of humanity”. All people are “happy”, that is, forced happiness. Such a life makes the reader reflect on whether the right to be “unhappy” is happiness. Literature helps people understand themselves. This paper tries to make people deeply understand the true spirit of happiness and value pursuit by analyzing the alienation phenomenon in Brave New World.
