1, Chueh-hsin's thought is progressive. He studied well and wanted to study abroad, but he didn't dare to face his majestic grandfather and couldn't bear to see his stepmother's situation. He could only accept arranged marriage. Unfortunately, one after another came, took his wife and children, and the woman he loved died because of him. But Chueh-hsin is constantly changing. He not only listened to the elders at home, but also raised money for the departure of his third brother and second sister.

2. Chueh-hsin has an extraordinary endurance, and can endure all the injustices of fate. He suppressed his pain, forced a smile, never resisted in action, and silently endured all his sufferings. He listened to other people's instructions and lost his basic rights as a man, as if he only existed to prove the strength of feudal forces.

3. The causes of Chueh-hsin's tragedy are various, both subjective and objective. He was born in a big Gao family, and he is the eldest son of this family. His eldest son is a special identity in the traditional culture of China. He can get the inheritance right of the family and has the responsibility to ensure the safe development of the family.

So the author said that his fate was decided as soon as he was born. It was with this sense of mission that he grew up invisibly. The burden of the whole family fell on him alone, and at the same time he began his own hard and bitter life. It is also the growing environment of this big family that constantly bears the burden of humiliation, which has caused his weakness.

At the same time, he was deeply influenced by feudal family thought. The idea of obeying the elders has been deeply rooted in his mind, so he listens to every elder and he never wants to resist.

4. Chueh-hsin and Cousin Mei were childhood friends, but in the end it was just a dream. When he was told that the marriage had already been arranged, he shut himself in his room in despair and wept bitterly, but he just endured it silently and never raised any objection to his elders. Under the arrangement of his elders, he accepted it and gained a short peace.

However, when his cousin Mei came into his life again, he found that he still couldn't forget her. However, by this time, it was impossible for them. He could only say in front of the rockery, "Mei, I'm sorry." This is the last time she saw cousin Mei. After May's death, he was heartbroken and greeted her with tears. Their love tragedy ended in his low voice crying.

5. Chueh-hsin is a victim of feudal thought. Feudal autocracy and feudal ethics robbed him of his youth; Took away his happiness; Took away his future; Took away two women he loved. Chueh-hsin's tragedy is a social tragedy, which is the result of the destruction of human nature by feudal autocracy and feudal ethics.

The formation of Chueh-hsin's obedience and weakness can be traced back to China's long-term feudal autocratic rule and feudal culture that suppressed individuality. Under the influence of the May 4th new trend of thought, he clearly realized that the old family and old ethics had taken away his youth and happiness.

However, the feudal ethics, the restriction of the eldest son's special status, the trust of the rise and fall of his family business, and the outdated consciousness exhausted his vitality and angularity, resulting in his wronged and obedient character. Let him become a person who has read a new book, lives an old-fashioned life, and pursues "non-resistance" and "bowing".

Extended data:

Reasons for the formation of Chueh-hsin's personality:

1, the status of the eldest son's great-great-grandson.

Chueh-hsin is the eldest grandson of the Gaos. In the feudal family, the eldest grandson is also called "Chengsun". In other words, the future responsibility of the family should be borne by him, and he is the heir of the family. This family structure requires Chueh-hsin to maintain this system and guarantee it everywhere, so Chueh-hsin's fate has been decided since he was born.

After his premature marriage and his father's premature death, he adhered to his father's wishes, walked carefully in various personnel relations and trivial matters in order to protect the interests of his family, accepted the pressure from material and spiritual, and played the role of life tragedy. As a result, there is a sharp conflict between reality and ideal, resulting in the duality of Chueh-hsin's character.

2. The feudal hierarchy and feudal ethics have been poisoned for a long time, and the combination of them has become a powerful political force and the power of ideological rule.

The poison of feudal ethics, especially the so-called filial piety, and the restriction of the eldest son's special status exhausted Chueh-hsin's vitality and sharpness, resulting in his timid and obedient character.

He is afraid of others gossiping, always thinking about glorifying his ancestors, worrying that the downfall of the Gaos could not be separated from him, and being afraid of taking the blame for evil deeds. Therefore, although he can clearly understand the tragedy of his own fate, he always puts his head into the lasso voluntarily, causing one tragedy after another. This is the national character of our nation under the oppression of feudal absolutism.

3. Tolstoy's nonresistance and Liu Bannong's bowing are both drawn from the May 4th cultural trend of thought.

Under the influence of the May 4th new trend of thought, Chueh-hsin clearly realized that the old family and old ethics robbed him of his youth. However, unlike Chueh-hui and others who learned the concepts of human rights and equality from the May 4th cultural trend of thought, he learned Tolstoy's non-resistance and Liu Bannong's bow.

He believes in this theory because it can combine the theory of "New Youth" with the reality of their big family without conflict, so that he can convince the new theory on the one hand and conform to the old environment without contradiction on the other.

4. Chueh-hsin's tragedy is not only a tragedy of personality, but also a tragedy of society, which summarizes the life fate of a whole generation of intellectuals in the last days of feudalism and is profound and typical.
