Emil Sinclair / 辛克莱尔
[[EmilSinclair|Emil Sinclair / 辛克莱尔]] is the first-person protagonist of [[DemianNovel|《德米安》]] in 20.德米安：该隐的额头上，那神秘的印记. The episode follows him from a pious childhood home through the shame of [[FranzKromer|克罗默]]’s extortion, the shock of [[MaxDemian|德米安]]’s alternative biblical readings, alcohol and school drift, symbolic painting, [[Abraxas|Abraxas]], [[PistoriusDemian|皮斯托留斯]], [[FrauEva|夏娃夫人]], and finally war.
The source reads Sinclair as both a realist adolescent and a psychological center. Other figures can be read as people he meets, but also as mirrors or projections of inner forces: fear, forbidden desire, intuition, spiritual authority, and the maternal-divine image.
