초록

This paper focuses on how the man of excessive sentiments and sympathy, Harley, distances himself from the commercial world through the means of the emotional economy of sympathy or happy commerce according to Adam Smith. In contrast to characters who follow doctrines of self-love proposed by Bernard Mandeville as a principle of modern, commercial society, Harley seeks a haven of the material economy in the realm of the emotional economy through the acquisition of pleasure from his sympathetic expenditures. However, it is worth noting that his sympathy is far from innocence. Harley’s sympathy does not apply in the same manner to everyone, revealing his calculating nature in its exercise. Distance is required for one to have sympathy for others; thus, having sympathy for others does not overturn the established hierarchical relationships. The tragic ending of Harley's death and his unrequited love results from Harley seeking pleasure in the emotional economy, which cannot be converted into financial commodities.

Abstract

This paper focuses on how the man of excessive sentiments and sympathy, Harley, distances himself from the commercial world through the means of the emotional economy of sympathy or happy commerce according to Adam Smith. In contrast to characters who follow doctrines of self-love proposed by Bernard Mandeville as a principle of modern, commercial society, Harley seeks a haven of the material economy in the realm of the emotional economy through the acquisition of pleasure from his sympathetic expenditures. However, it is worth noting that his sympathy is far from innocence. Harley’s sympathy does not apply in the same manner to everyone, revealing his calculating nature in its exercise. Distance is required for one to have sympathy for others; thus, having sympathy for others does not overturn the established hierarchical relationships. The tragic ending of Harley's death and his unrequited love results from Harley seeking pleasure in the emotional economy, which cannot be converted into financial commodities.
