크리스토프 하인의 『라살이 헤르베르트씨에게 소냐에 대해 묻다』에서의 지식인과 독일의 불행

Abstract

This paper analyzes the causes of Lassalle's participation and failure in the labor movement, and examines the relationship between intellectuals and German misery. Hein deals with this drama in a personal space called a salon. It is a means to reveal the historical contradiction of the labor revolution, which discusses the labor movement in the environment of the upper-class of Jewish intellectuals. The perception of an intellectual and the barriers between classes separate him from the workers. His revolutionary statements are not based on a revolutionary ideology, but on his egoistic and egocentric tendencies. Lassalle's political activities are revealed as an adventure and an action to overcome boredom. Lassalle is not satisfied with her union with Marie of the proletariat and stretches out her hand to Sonja, a noble woman. It can be seen as an allegory of the position and desire of the intellectual class placed between the working class and the aristocracy. Lassalle's servant Herbert and secretary Vahlteich are also reflected in Lassalle's desires. In Vahlteich, the idealistic and altruistic points are emphasized, and in Herbert, the will to power, male supremacy, and materialism tendencies are strongly expressed. This is a reflection of the owner, Lassalle, and shows that they too are passing on the German misery. These are the failure of idealism and the nationalistic power politics that followed.
