海登·怀特认为,托马斯·曼借助长篇小说《绿蒂在魏玛》挣脱和反抗着歌德这一经典的蛮横力量。本文藉此指出,这种蛮横力量掩盖了经典的建构性,使可能性与现实处于长久的紧张关系中。此种可能性对必然性的不满,源自浪漫主义一脉传承下而的自由创造观,既追寻着自我,又不断迷失自我。与经典的潜对话并不意味着能获得一双预知经典的慧眼,却有望使既有的经典转变为自我成长的纪念碑。 Hayden Wright argues that Thomas Mann broke free from and revolted against Goethe’s barbaric classic with the novel “The Lolita in Weimar.” This article points out that this brute force masks the classic constructivism, making the possibility and the reality in a long-term tension. The possibility of dissatisfaction with the inevitability of the romantic origins from the pulse of freedom to create the concept of pursuing both the self and continue to lose themselves. Submarine dialogue with the classic does not mean that you can get a pair of pre-classic wisdom, but is expected to transform the existing classic into a monument to self-growth.
