Margaret is more gentle and charming, weak, sensitive and careful, a bit like Lin Daiyu, which is more in line with the aesthetic taste of ancient China literati. She is always in a passive position. At first, she depended on the duke for a living. At the turning point of the story, when Armand's father appeared, she prayed for her happiness and later entrusted herself to a baron she didn't like for debt. Judging from the ending, at the end of her life, she just wants to see the person she loves again, but she can't. Before she died, the creditors had come to her door and carved up her inheritance, and she left alone.
And Du Shiniang is a lonely, witty and strong woman, a hero like Liang Hongyu. She always keeps the rhythm of self-esteem in her own hands. She took great pains to save her life, tried angel lee and inspired the procuress. At the turning point of the story, Sun Fu appeared, denounced Sun Fu, humiliated Li Jia, was impassioned, and used his best decission. Judging from the ending, Du Shiniang threw all his treasures into the long river. Li Jia was ashamed, and Sun Fu was surprised. Everyone gathered to watch, all of them shed tears, reviled ingratitude, and tried their best to save the beauty.
Second, in terms of personality,
Margaret is more in line with the status of social butterfly. She is arrogant, vain, sociable and sociable, which is equivalent to her weak personality. She is willing to indulge in this kind of life and has no long-term plans. She left Armand only out of emotion, even on impulse, so that she was stretched, and she had no definite view and strength to pursue happiness.
Du Shiniang is more like a singer and actor. Such a woman has been fostered in a brothel since she was a child, and she has no choice to have children. However, Du Shiniang doesn't want to live like this. She pursues happiness, self-esteem, wit, pretence, and painstaking management. She left angel lee completely in her expectation and control. She has even planned a future road and has her own opinions and strength in the pursuit of happiness.
Thirdly, from the social background,
Margaret's story took place around 1848, that is, during the reign of the July dynasty, France was ruled by nobles who were born into great financiers. After the restoration of Napoleon and Bourbon, the French asset economy developed to a certain extent, and the workers' movement surged. It is in this turbulent era, in the wave of feudalism and revolution, that the glory of military exploits and the dignity of kingship are losing their aura, and people become withdrawn, depressed and depressed. Communication places have become a refuge for teenagers in the flower season. This phenomenon has a French name called "disease of the century", which means the disease of the century. People at this time are called "enfant du ciecle", which means the son of the century. The bourgeois people lead a life of drunkenness and muddling along.
The story of Du Shiniang took place in the twenty years of Wanli. At this time, it was the heyday of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang's accumulated wealth was not defiled by Emperor Wanli. The three major battles have just started, the feudal system is shrouded in a false prosperity, the social atmosphere is relatively peaceful, the light of Confucianism shines on high places, and the people at the bottom have the courage to realize their ideals and pursue happiness.
I'm so tired. Tell me one more thing. Actually, I think La Traviata belongs to Roman and Du Shiniang belongs to Conte according to genre. The method of portraying characters is different, so it is still difficult.
Also, I want to buy the French version of La Traviata. Please let me know if you buy it.
