《马贩子米夏埃尔·科尔哈斯》是德国作家克莱斯特的代表作之一,小说通过对主人公科尔哈斯命运的描写揭示了小资产阶级同当时封建统治者的冲突。科尔哈斯性格矛盾,既具有平民的反抗意识,又甘受封建制度的约束。时代与社会造成了他这种彷徨的性格,这种性格又最终导致了他自我毁灭的悲剧人生。克莱斯特在写作中影射了自己当时生活的时代背景,小说主人公科尔哈斯的一生也就是作者自身的真实写照。 One of the representative works of German writer Kleist, “Horse dealer Michael Schalkellhals,” describes the fate of the protagonist Kohlhaas by revealing the clashes between the petty bourgeoisie and the feudal rulers of the time. Cole Haas personality contradictions, both civilians have the sense of resistance, but also subject to the feudal system. Times and society caused him such a perverted character, which ultimately led to his tragedy of self-destruction. Kleist in his writing reflects the background of his life at that time. The life of Kohlhaas, the hero of the novel, is also the true portrayal of the author himself.
