"True Story" is Maupassant's work, and I will not introduce the author. If you want to know, you can go directly to the Internet Encyclopedia. After reading this story, I felt a lot of taste in my heart, and I also felt cold in my heart.
The story is not long, and there is no story that turns a thousand times. Even the people in the story are not direct participants, except for the storyteller. But the last words spoken by these people who are not participants may chill your back, and even if they don't, they will make you feel disappointed and frightened.
The story tells the story of small talk conversations about the nobles of Normandy returning from hunting. Let me call them all nobles! The author does not specify it explicitly, he only says that these people are half nobles, half squires and half farmers. I don't know if the author is trying to express something.
Although they were aristocratic gentry, they behaved vulgarly. Talk and scream, howl and laugh like a beast. It's all about hunting and hunting dogs. Although the descriptions are all rough and bold, the descriptions are so demeaning that they do not match their status. I don't know if the author is trying to satirize and belittle them. Perhaps in the author's opinion, these are just beasts in human skin.
Drunk, they were even more unbearable, because all their eyes were fixed on a woman holding a plate in this mountain field.
Then a veterinarian named Seymour walked in and said loudly, "Oh my, Boss Bailong, you have an irreproachable maid." Such words made everyone laugh. This veterinarian used to be a researcher who did the study of priesthood. But they unscrupulously evaluated the maid, and there was no place left to speak of. It can also be seen that the status of the servants was inferior.
Next comes the theme of the story, which is told by one of their nobles. He was a man trapped by alcohol. His name was Wei Lundo, a story told by him.
He himself had such a strange story with such a girl before. Every time I think of her, I remember a dog named Elk. He sold the dog to a viscount. But as long as someone over there lets go of it, it always comes back. It can be seen that it cannot be separated from him, and later it is angry. The viscount tied it with a chain, but it was later killed in grief.
As far as this short story is concerned, we can see the indifference in the heart of this nobleman, and there is no brilliance of human conscience. Whether it is because of the lack of human conscience brought about by power and status or because of other reasons. Power and money can make people lose their humanity.
If something in the story happens to us, what choices will you make? Don't talk about right or wrong, you have the answer that belongs to your heart. It's a thought-provoking question, but I'm sure more people will choose and keep it by their side...
But the story was not over, and Wei Lundo continued to tell. Speaking of one of his maids, he was 25 years old and had not yet started a family. He lived in a villa in Gexiang, and he felt that when a rich young man had nothing to do, his eyes would involuntarily search.
If you put aside the premise of whether there is money, in fact, when people are bored and idle, they will always find something to do. This is human nature, and because people have different experiences, they will choose to do differently.
That's the case. He found a young maid working in Gorgo thubdo. The maid drove him crazy. He found Tybudo and offered to let him exchange the maid for him. He exchanged a horse for a maid.
Such transactions allow us to see in the feudal or slave societies of ancient times. The hierarchy between the classes is deep. The inferiority of a servant like a maid is no different from that of a beast. Even sometimes slightly worse.
It all went smoothly. It's just that the maid Rose loves him a little too much. This made him feel distressed. This made him feel particularly troubled and grumbled: "The maid who makes trouble with the owner is always a bit like this."
He didn't want such a thing to last. He thinks he's going to be fooled, but what do he think he's fooled?
Combined with the previous he felt that Rose was a little too much to love him. In his heart, he does not admit such emotions, and such emotions will only bring him trouble. In my heart, I think it is just the tricks and means of these maids. It would have put him in the hands of this maid.
What's the trick? This is a question worth pondering. Combine known epochal contexts and human nature. There are many answers, all of which are correct, but the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise.
Next he found out that the maid was pregnant, that is, Rose was pregnant. In the words of this Mr. Velendo: "The news is tantamount to someone firing two shots in the chest."
This Mr. Velendo said: "She, she kissed and kissed me, laughed, danced, she was crazy, what to say!"
And the roses? This obsessive maid did not know what kind of feelings this news brought to this gentleman.
Velendo was in trouble now, he needed to cut the line, and he went to his uncle to give him ideas. As expected, his uncle gave him a piece of advice: "She should be married off."
After seven or eight days of thought and consideration. He decided to do as his uncle suggested. And there was a pusher (in the Qing Dynasty, the judges of our country called pushing things), but the pusher here, I don't understand. It was such a person who introduced him to a person after knowing about him.
This man was the son of Mel's wife. A person with a bad reputation seems to have made a joke recently. When Mrs. Mel was young, she was a man who could sell her soul for a franc. Such a family gives the feeling in people's hearts that his son is not a good man.
Wei Lundo found Mel's wife and asked him to understand the current situation, and after discussion and consultation, they reached an agreed consensus and conditions.
He gave roses an estate worth 1500 francs as a living fund, which was a bit of a dowry. And Mel's son asked Wei Lundo, "If she dies, who will own the property?"
Wei Lundo replied, "Nature is yours."
I don't know if this sentence makes you feel the scalp tingling, but my heart is extremely unstable. A bit of a hairy upside-down feeling.
No matter what Rose's heart was, she had to leave. She was already Ino's trouble, not the one who drove him crazy.
When Rose left, and Velendo raised the hope that she could come to see him from time to time. Look at the original text of the story inexplicably sad. Obsessed person, don't know what she is expecting? So humble.
They are between them because of the culture of the social era, because of the relationship between classes.
But why not put aside the relationship of class? The person you are expecting in your heart is indifferent to you, and you are constantly wandering and waiting. Hold on to that little bit of persistence in your heart until your heart dies or you get discouraged with him or her.
People's hearts are not class-to-class relations. It is just that this class class is not caused by the system of the epoch.
Rose came to him from time to time, bored him. In order to avoid her, he went to live with his brother for half a year. Back to see things withered rose and the child in her arms. The kid he had kissed once.
All this made him so uncomfortable that he could only mechanically ask her: "Are you okay?"
Her tears fell out at once, and the smeller was sad. She said to him, "Without you, I don't want to live, I want to die."
He knew she had been beaten and abused by her husband. But he was indifferent.
I could not appreciate the mental activity of Mr. Velendo. Because I don't know, if I made the same choice as before, what could I do in such a situation at this moment? Don't know if you know or don't know?
Don't assume that there will be no finished things happening without the front, without everything in front. There would be no such thinking. Everyone will have their own answers, but it's a question that requires us to think about whether our conscience and humanity can give us the courage to do something.
But Velendo, choosing to intimidate her once again, pushed her out. Once again, he avoided her for half a year. But this time it was a farewell, and perhaps all he had left was this one story. It is a story and a joke that remains in the hearts of these people.
And this story also remains in my heart, crazy people... I don't know what she thought when she died. This may be a real relief for her, whether you really exist in this world or not, but your story will always remain on the tip of my heart.
Her estate was inherited by her villainous husband. He also served as a sheriff there. This is the end of the story.
And then Webbot said, "His luck was caused by me." ”
And the vet said, "Whatever you want, you can't mess with a woman like that."
I have to say, I want to go back, I want to say to the veterinarian and them: "Whatever you want, you don't want to provoke such a woman, you don't deserve it."
Classes will exist at any time, even today, but the development of the times has obscured the concept of class. But class exists in everyone's heart, no matter what the reason, more or less will exist.
Human nature has not changed much, but today's people accept more knowledge, and the rationality and sensibility of light are more distorted and dark than human nature.
But the darkness of human nature is still everywhere, just shifting the stage. There are so many tragedies brought about by online violence. Violence in schools and society has also been repeatedly prohibited.
Where there is light, there is darkness, and this is inevitable. Human nature has both properties.
I think the story doesn't just make people see the class gap. It makes us think more about the darkness of human nature, so as to be vigilant against the tyranny and darkness of the heart. Thus be a bright and kind person.
