关于歌德小说《少年维特之烦恼》中的维特自杀的原因,一直有诸多争议。一个热情奔放的青年才俊为什么会选择以死亡结束自己的生命?其自杀的直接诱因虽然是爱情上的失意,但文章的字里行间亦透露出其深层次的社会原因。自杀是维特纯美理想与恶俗社会尖锐矛盾冲突造成的必然结局。歌德在作品中以维特为例突显了新兴资产阶级分子与现实社会的冲突,批判了压抑个性自由发展的现存秩序,具有反封建意义。 There has been a lot of controversy over the reason why Witt committed suicide in Goethe’s Novels and Worries. Why did a passionate young man choose to end his own life by death? Although the immediate inducement of his suicide was a love affair, the article also revealed deep-seated social causes in his lines. Suicide is the inevitable outcome of the sharp contradiction between Witt’s pure ideal and vulgar society. In his works, Goethe highlighted Wittgenstein’s clashes between emerging bourgeois elements and the real society, and criticized the existing order of suppressing the free development of individuality, which is of anti-feudal significance.
