In the history of western literature, there are too many people worthy of our attention, such as the stars in the sky. I only like French literature. France is a romantic country, which has deeply influenced French literature. When it comes to French literature, we have to mention the famous "Saint Dumas". Although these three generations have different personalities, they all have legendary temperament and experience. The fate of three generations bred by the combination of a gentleman and a black slave is different from that of ordinary people. It is these three generations that have profoundly influenced the development of French literature, even western literature and world literature. They have boldness, courage, chivalrous loyalty, and hatred for evil, but they also have strong revenge and often make unexpected behaviors, but it is this character that makes their literary works shine in the world literary world. (Actually, Dumas is not a writer, but he is included here because of his deep influence on his son and grandson. )
General Dumas is the father of Dumas who wrote three musketeers. He is a legend. However, due to his premature birth, Dumas spent a poor childhood under the care of his mother. Dumas in his youth was full of spontaneous strength and exuberant creativity. Some people say that he is the second Diderot, a famous encyclopedic scholar. Indeed, young Dumas inherited superhuman strength from his father] magnanimity, rich imagination and vanity. However, in addition, when he was young, he was an avid hunter, an uneducated rapper and an avid drama fan. He was deeply moved by the legendary dramas of a long time ago, such as the mouse in Hamlet and Sherlock's pound of flesh in The Merchant of Venice, and decided to become a playwright. This wish is not difficult to realize for the talented Dumas. Later, Du Masi met a woman worker with the same humble social status as him, Katrina? Rabe, then they soon fell in love and lived together. 1On July 27th, 824, they had a fat man who was christened Alexander, the third Alexander of Dumas. In this way, the 22-year-old official became a father. However, because Dumas and Rabe have never performed the marriage formalities, their son naturally has no legal status, and Dumas has always been regarded as an illegitimate child.
It is this complex relationship that has laid the unusual fate of three generations. Here is Dumas and his La Traviata. His outstanding, burly and fickle father puzzled and frightened him. Dumas didn't admit that he was his son until he was seven years old, but he still refused to admit that his mother was his wife. The life experience of an illegitimate child made Dumas ridiculed by the world in his childhood and adolescence. As an adult, I deeply felt that the debauchery of French capitalist society caused many people who were insulted and hurt like their mother and son, and decided to change social morality through literature. But soon he also fell in love and met Mary at the vaudeville theater? Du plessy fell in love with him, but it turns out that there is a difference between heaven and man. This bitter love affair left a profound influence on Dumas, and it was this love affair that cast a bright star in the history of western literature-La Traviata.
La Traviata reveals the hypocrisy and evil of bourgeois morality through the love tragedy of a prostitute who was born in poverty, reduced to dust and suffered greatly. This work has the characteristics of romanticism and realism, and it is an excellent work in the evolution period of French drama from romanticism to realism. It can be said that La Traviata is the autobiography of Dumas and Mary, in which the names of the hero and heroine armand and Margaret are taken from Dumas and Mary respectively. It took only a month to write this novel, and there are many Dumas in the novel who miss Mary. I am a girl, and I am sensitive to literary works describing love. Margaret is a gentle person. When I read Margaret's letter, I couldn't help crying when she died. The fragmentation of good things has more influence than anything else. The devoted La Traviata soon got a great response, and Dumas became famous in one fell swoop. Many people doubt whether Dumas also participated in the creation of La Traviata, which is sheer nonsense. In terms of writing and feeling, Dumas is better at writing history and literature. He is passionate and romantic, and he doesn't want Dumas to be his lover at that time. When asked if he helped his son create, Dumas only said one sentence: "My best work is you, my child." The success of La Traviata lasted for a long time, and Dumas decided to put it on the stage. Sure enough, La Traviata has achieved unprecedented success. Since then, although Dumas has created many works, it is a great pity that there is no such successful work as La Traviata.
Literary works can stay in our minds, on the one hand, it is the charm of literary works, on the other hand, it can touch a heartstring, that is to say, there is a * * * sound in our hearts. I yearn for love, especially the pure love like Margaret and Armand. There is no denying that Margaret is a prostitute, but she has the qualities that ordinary prostitutes do not have-elegance and even nobility, without losing the purity and kindness of virgins. Indulging in sensual life can bring prostitutes gold, silver and jewels, luxury houses and carriages, but the emptiness of the soul is difficult to fill with any money. Margaret knew the life she wanted, and she was lucky to meet armand. When we were happy to see that the future was illuminated by the spark of love between them, misfortune happened. The world won't forgive their love, it's too pure. Secular desire is the ultimate dystocia of their love. Margaret broke down from overwork in anger and finally fell ill, but she didn't complain about Armand's betrayal, and wrote a diary and letter in the last few days of her life to express her infinite affection for Armand. Every time I recall this passage, I feel extremely painful. Dumas' pen is ruthless, and he is merciless when analyzing his memory. I believe that his heart must be bleeding when he wrote these words. Margaret died, but La Traviata stayed forever and became a classic praised by everyone in later generations.
Of course, Dumas' three musketeers and The Record of Monte Cristo are also masterpieces handed down from generation to generation, even more influential than La Traviata. There are other writers' works that have to be mentioned in the literary world, but I am only a woman to describe the works that can touch my heartstrings most. The difference between western literature and China literature has opened our eyes, and at the same time, it has provided good information for China's current literature and a lot of help for our future development of humanities. In the days to come, you must read more books and enrich your experience and cultural heritage with more western literature.
