Chueh-hsin is the most successful character in this novel. Because he is the eldest son, he always takes "non-resistance" to maintain the "harmony" of this big family with four generations under one roof. He had a wonderful love affair with his cousin Mei, but in this big feudal family, it was impossible for them to make a decision to get married. His father kissed him, but he didn't resist, only silently accepted everything his father arranged for him. Although his heart was very painful, he dared not say a word "no", so he married his wife Rui Yu. After her grandfather died, Mrs. Chen refused to let Ruiyu have a baby at home on the grounds of "blood shortage" and asked Chueh-hsin to send her out of the city. It was a bolt from the blue for Chueh-hsin, but he accepted it. As a result, feudal superstition swallowed her life. Before that, his cousin Mei died of depression. However, for all these tragedies, he was powerless to resist and was willing to continue to live an "old-fashioned" life painfully.
Another typical character in the novel, Chueh-hsin's younger brother Chueh-hui, has a completely different personality from his older brother. This novel typically depicts Chueh-hui, a bold and naive rebel. He took an active part in the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal activities organized by the Student Union and lashed out at feudal families. On the issue of marriage, he dared to break through the feudal hierarchy and resolutely fell in love with the girl Ming-feng. He also dares to resist the superstitious behavior of his elders, such as playing tricks. Finally, he walked out of the family without hesitation.
Home also focuses on several unfortunate female images & Mei, Mingfeng and Jui-chueh. Although these three women have different personalities-Mei is melancholy, Jui-chueh is virtuous, and Ming-feng is kind but gentle and firm; Their social status is different, but the tragic ending is the same. Through the description of the tragic experiences of these women, the work further accuses the feudal ethics of persecuting the weak, the innocent and the kind, and strengthens the theme of the book.
Home is an excellent work that fully embodies Ba Jin's creative achievements and style, and it fully shows Ba Jin's outstanding achievements in the field of modern literary novel creation.
Reflections on Notre Dame de Paris
Among the books I have read, I am not deeply impressed, but Notre Dame de Paris left a deep impression on me, because it showed me not only the history at that time, but also the deepest soul and call in the world. ..............
Notre Dame de Paris is Hugo's first large-scale romantic novel. It wrote a bizarre and contrasting story in France in the 5th century A.D./KLOC-0: Claude, the vice bishop of Notre Dame de Paris, was hypocritical, snake-hearted, and persecuted the gypsy girl Esmeralda, while quasimodo, an ugly and kind-hearted bell ringer, gave his life to help Esmeralda. The novel exposes the hypocrisy of religion, praises the kindness, friendship and self-sacrifice spirit of the lower working people, and embodies Hugo's humanitarian thought. Its plot is tortuous and there are many conflicts between characters, so it is a dramatic work. The historical background of Notre Dame de Paris also reflects the dark reality that innocent people were victims of corrupt politics and power rule in Louis Xi's era.
1482, the city of Paris under the rule of French King Louis Xi was immersed in the carnival atmosphere of "April Fool's Day". In the square in front of Notre Dame, gypsy woman Esmeralda from Egypt won warm applause for her touching beauty and graceful dance. She distributed the money people gave her to poor children and said to them, "Take all this money for the holidays!" " "The children asked her," What about you? " She said, "Leave me alone, I have a holiday every day. "Yes, this is her Esmeralda. .......
However, fate stopped everything at this time. Among the audience, a pale middle-aged man, wearing a black robe, was hiding behind the glass window and watching Esmeralda dance. Is he Claude, the assistant bishop and alchemist of Notre Dame de Paris? Flora. When he saw the beautiful gypsy woman singing and dancing, her brisk dance steps and wonderful dancing suddenly aroused his desire buried in his heart for more than ten years. He can't help himself, nor can he drive away the devil who captured his soul. In order to relieve boredom, he went to the square to drive away the vendors who were selling, and vowed not to mess around in front of the church. And all this is just for his selfless psychology ... where do these vendors put him in their eyes and attack him? Just then, an ugly, tall and strong man rushed out of the church. He pushed the crowd away and saved the priest. This is quasimodo. It turned out that he was a deformed child abandoned by his parents in front of Notre Dame de Paris. Floru raised him out of pity, because he rang the doorbell all day, so he was deaf. It's not his fault for dedication. Happy people are looking for "Pope Fool", while Esmeralda takes a fancy to the deaf and ugly hunchback of Notre Dame de quasimodo. People crowned him, put on robes and blew his whistle, and let him sit in a high sedan chair and parade along the street. Quasimodo was whistling happily when he suddenly saw a surly Lu Lu standing in front of the sedan chair. The priest knocked off his crown and took him back to Notre Dame. Why? Maybe it's just for unbearable humility!
Is it my fault that she is so beautiful? Is it my fault that she dances so well? Is it my fault that she can drive people crazy? "He can't help it." Let's go However, this order changed her fate ... quasimodo, "Go and get her!" The hunchback of Notre Dame de Paris quickly ran to Esmeralda, picked her up and ran to Notre Dame de Paris ... the inevitable fate. ......
A cry of "help" made her wander in the "miracle dynasty". At that time, in the "slang kingdom" ruled by the "miracle dynasty", the beggar king Clauban was trying the dried fruit of a poor poet who didn't know the incision and strayed into the "kingdom territory". According to the rules of the dynasty, he had only two choices: either to pair with the noose or to climb relatives with the women in the kingdom. But several old women thought he was too thin and nobody wanted him. In this way, the dried fruit can only be hung. At this critical moment, Esmeralda stepped forward and shouted "I want him". In this way, the two married on the spot. The kind girl promised to marry him just to save his life and take him home to stay, but she didn't share a room with him. At this point, if it is us, how many people are willing to do this? How many people have such courage and courage?
When we saw quasimodo, he committed the crime of robbing a civilian. After a hasty trial, he was taken to the square and flogged in public. Notre Dame de Paris has been kneeling in the scorching sun for generations, hunched and thirsty. He shouted for water from soldiers and bystanders, but he was laughed at and insulted. At this moment, the beautiful Esmeralda pushed the crowd away and sent the water to quasimodo's mouth. Quasimodo, whose heart was full of gratitude, burst into tears and kept saying "beauty … beauty … beauty". At this moment, he made a lifelong commitment.
Should I be happy or sad to see this?
In the square, the poor poet helped Esmeralda put on a goat literacy program. The goat picked out the name of Phobos, the sun god, from a pile of Latin letters. At this time, Phoebe is courting the Queen and her daughter in the palace beside the square. Princess Lily sent Phoebe to the square and drove Esmeralda away to prove his love for her. Phoebe rode to the square, shouted at the artists who were performing, and quietly made an appointment with the girl to meet at the old place tonight. However, this tryst, who knows what brought her is endless darkness. .......
Uneasy Florou was very angry when he heard that Dried Fruit A married the girl. When he learned that they were only husband and wife in name, he turned his worries into happiness. In the street, he met the drunken guard captain Phobos. He said he was going to have a tryst with the girl and immediately dissuaded her, claiming that the girl was married, but Phobos retorted, "Why do you confuse love with marriage?" Who should persuade who? Is selfishness really the soul of human beings? Evil? Darkness? The gears are still turning quietly. .........
For what? Quasimodo hid the girl in her house and slept at the door like a patron saint? When Esmeralda suddenly woke up and saw quasimodo's face, she was frightened. Quasimodo hurried away, ran to the bell tower and tried to hit the bell with his head. The deep bell rang like tears. Esmeralda came to him, and Gasimo covered his face with his hand and muttered, "My face is ugly and always scary." In order to comfort him, the girl danced a cheerful dance for him. Excited quasimodo, like swinging, rang the bell of Notre Dame for the girl with the weight of her body. His hearty laughter filled the whole bell tower. Quasimodo flew around the bell tower with a rope, picking blooming flowers for Esmeralda. Love is in the frozen season.
Suddenly, the girl found the captain of the guard in the square. She called his name, but he did not look up at her. She asked quasimodo to look for him, but in order to get the rich dowry of the princess and the territory in Sao Paulo, he ignored the girl's request and rode away. Kind quasimodo found that she insulted the girl's mission. And deep remorse ........
Dissatisfied with the girl's unsuccessful occupation of Floru, she knelt down to the king and asked for instructions on how to solve the problem of church asylum. The king consulted an old scholar who was still in prison and finally decided that he could forcibly enter Notre Dame to arrest the witch, regardless of the right of asylum. While Floru was away, quasimodo shut the church door tightly. That kind of transcendental love broke through the bondage of darkness, but deeply locked his concierge. .....
Clauban, the beggar king, heard that the church's right of asylum was coming to an end, and led thousands of Paris vagrants and beggars to attack Notre Dame and rescue their sister in trouble. This shows how beautiful and kind she is! Who else will save her? Quasimodo, who didn't know the truth, let these people rush into the church. He still threw boulders from the roof and overturned the hot metal liquid in an attempt to disperse the crowd. I have to admire that kind of protection beyond myself! The brave beggar finally broke through the gate and rescued Esmeralda. Unexpectedly, the embattled Wang Jun soldiers had entered the church through the back door, and arrows rained on Esmeralda and the wandering Khan. The beggar king was also killed in the melee. Blood is flowing, as if it were a bloody paradise ... quasimodo stood on the roof and watched his beloved girl hanged on the gallows again. She was in great pain. When he found Floru grinning at Esmeralda in the bell tower, he held the sanctimonious beast above his head, but he fell down. A crazy move, a detached love, marks eternity. ........
Esmeralda's body, which was untied from the gallows, was placed in Meng Fuguong's grave. Quasimodo found her and lay quietly beside her. Why is there no rainstorm in the sky ... why? Why? Why?
Two years later, people found two bones hugging each other tightly. When people tried to separate them, bones turned to dust.
Esmeralda not only has amazing beauty, but also has a noble heart. The perfect combination of beauty and goodness in her body makes her have a dazzling charm. Because of her amazing charm, she attracted the desire of evil people, and because of her innocence, she fell into a disastrous love tragedy. She was supposed to be the darling of God, but she was hanged, which made me feel the cruelty of those in power. Nevertheless, she is very lucky, because she has someone who will always be with her and will never be lonely.
Quasimodo, a unique church bell ringer in the history of literature. He is one-eyed, hunchbacked, bowlegged and deaf, which can be said to be extremely ugly. But he is kind-hearted. Because of the kindness of the vice bishop, he is willing to be his slave, and he would rather be full of thoughts in exchange for Esmeralda's dripping kindness. Although he has a deep affection for Esmeralda, he just guarded her like a patron saint and did not blaspheme her. When he saw his lover hanged mercilessly, he was helpless and desperate, and finally went to the cemetery to be buried with her. His ugliness has reached the extreme of mankind, and the profound human beauty shown in him has made him the most unique and touching artistic image in the history of literature. His spiritual beauty completely covered up his appearance defects and became a model of kindness in people's minds. And how many people in our reality are like this?
Claude? As a priest, Floru had to suppress his desires. It is this repression that distorts his humanity. His lust and jealousy eventually led him to lose control of his thoughts, become a slave to his desires, and become a devil from a priest. Isn't this the demise of feudalism?
Bodyguard captain Phobos, handsome in appearance, is a powerful villain, fickle and disloyal, and does not hesitate to cheat and blaspheme the love of an innocent girl for power and wealth. He makes me feel ashamed, hateful, hateful, hateful. .........
Beauty and ugliness, good and evil, we no longer need to argue ... the only thing is us?
Reflections on A Dream of Red Mansions
After reading the red chamber, my heart is sour. I don't know why. It seems that there is a little bit of each kind, whether it is for the ruin of the second mansion in Rongning, the fragrance of Pink Lady, or the reputation of speculators. But I always feel that it is not all. From a man's point of view, I was suddenly enlightened. This is jealousy. I envy Baoyu in the dark. It's really embarrassing to say, but several men have seen a wan ku.
Speaking of it, there are countless love stories in a dream of red mansions. The first thing to push is Baodai's infatuation with red powder. In a dream of red mansions, the love between these two people is the purest. From childhood, childhood, to falling in love when you grow up. Zuo Zhuan is simply a logical conclusion, which makes readers feel that another love story has been born in the world. Its appearance is so natural that few people doubt it. There is no stain. But untimely love is synonymous with pain. Daiyu's unique rebellious and withdrawn character and disdain for the secular make her stand out from the crowd everywhere. She read the romance of the West Chamber before spending time, without any taboo. I don't like rhetoric, and I will do what I say; Advocating the truth, indifferent to fame and fortune ... all these make her like a lotus, always clinging to her purity, purity and cleanliness, as clear as jasper. Looking at her from the perspective of an ordinary person, what I appreciate most is Dai Yu's poetic and delicate wit. Dai Yu often opposes her sisters drinking, enjoying flowers and reciting poems. She is always very talented and artistic. Or the desolation of plants and the return of wild geese to the south, the tenderness of flowers can solve the affair of language; All these reflect her elegance and refinement as a poet. What makes people sigh most is that Daiyu is sentimental and unlucky. Daiyu's life is doomed to be lonely and helpless, and her character is doomed to be lonely and sad. Even though people come and go in the Grand View Garden, there is no relative she can rely on, no confidant she can confide in, and only the romantic and affectionate Baoyu makes her secretly promise, but she is always worried about being swayed by considerations of gain and loss. So she was helpless. Where there is a fragrant hill, it is sad that "the fragrant nest has been built in March, and the swallow nest between the beams is heartless", and it is sad that "flowers are flying all over the sky, and the red fragrance is pitiless", and finally it ends in a sad ending of "a wisp of fragrant soul scattered with the wind and never dreamed at night".
Lin Daiyu's position in Jiafu and her own cowardice are not so much the cause of the tragedy, but rather the ruthless killing of the love between Baoyu and Daiyu in the feudal society headed by Yuan Chun. If a dream of red mansions is really a description of Cao Xueqin's personal experience, then I can feel the pain of a man losing his beloved. The fire of hell burns around me and makes my mind stagnate. This is not the pain of flesh and blood, but the love of blood.
What's more, it is the love tragedy of Xue Baochai. It is still so sad to see Daiyu's tragic death. But after reading it, when I heard Zhen talking about "Gui Lan", I couldn't help feeling sad. People like Li Wan and Xue Baochai will be buried in this cold garden all their lives, facing a man who doesn't love himself at all, regardless of his good or bad marriage and what she really needs. It's grandma Bao's throne. But I can't help asking, are there really lonely women in the world? I always thought she was a cold and selfish person. But now, I can't help feeling sorry for her. Actually, if you think about it carefully, her tragedy may be more tragic than Lin Daiyu's. What she needs most is not the irrigation of love, but freedom Xue Baochai's family is rich and she has read many poems since she was a child. She received a very comprehensive and orthodox education. General Jia praised her as "quiet and generous". Yes, this is the way she was educated since childhood, and it is also the virtue that ancient women should have. Even sadness and joy should not be shaped by color, otherwise it is "disrespect." Throughout the book, her behavior almost never goes beyond these constraints. Only once did Baoyu compare her to Yang Fei, which made her very angry. But this is just a cold irony of the past. In fact, she is the most sad person. She has been influenced by other people's opinions and education all her life. She never knows what she wants, and she is unhappy and unhappy. She just follows the path of nature. She has never been loved wholeheartedly, and she dare not pursue love bravely. No one really cares about her. And she thinks the world is like this. She thinks there are problems between husband and wife.
In fact, what she did was not a free choice. She is just a typical submissive. She is smart and talented, but she was educated that it is useless for women to study. Xiangling and Xiangyun talked about poetry. She said, "A girl's family talks about serious things with poetry, so that learned people can listen to it and laugh at her for not keeping her duties." She is also familiar with drama and traditional Chinese opera, but she thinks that these obscene words and clever sentences can't be known to dignified ladies, so she gently criticized Baoqin's poems. She wants to have a better life like anyone else, but when her mother married Baoyu for the power of the Jia family, she had to accept it with tears because her mother told her that she had promised. Until Baoyu finally became a monk, her tragedy reached a climax. Even so, she still can't let her nature do it. Lady Wang said, "Baochai cried, but he didn't leave at all, but he advised me." Think of Baochai, such a character and so young. At this moment, I thought about how my life would end. Her pain is not actually under the burning manuscript of Daiyu! But she can only restrain herself. This is her "respect"!
