《恶魔》给人以“似曾相识”之感。它使人想起欧美的两个名篇:左拉的《陪衬人》和马克·吐温的《竞选州长》。在处处散发着铜臭的资本主义社会,一切都可以当作商品待价而沽。这本是不足为奇的。然而,法国自然主义大师爱弥儿·左拉(1840—1902),却匠心独运地写了一篇“拿丑来做买卖”的佳作——《陪衬人》,使读者在惊愕之余强烈地感受到资本家为发财而施展的伎俩,穷苦人为谋生而承受的屈辱,从而对资本主义的腐朽没落作了深刻的揭露和有力的抨击。《恶魔》和《陪衬人》有着异曲同工之妙。“陪衬人”是资产者的一种奇异装饰,“垂青师”则是有钱人的一种特殊工具。从事这种职业的人为别人玩弄女性拉皮条、当媒介,为别人寻求“爱情”,制造欢乐,自己却含悲忍辱,得不到世间的温情,承受着精神的痛楚,丧失了人类的尊严。《恶魔》通过梅崎太郎辛酸的遭遇,深沉有力地道出了“垂青师”的愤怨心情和可 “Devil” gives the feeling of “deja vu.” It is reminiscent of two notables in Europe and the United States: Zola’s “foil” and Mark Twain’s “campaign governor.” Everywhere it exudes a smelly capitalist society, everything can be sold as a commodity.
