Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, revenge has always been a common bridge in story creation, and it has endured in the field of literature.
There have been too many classics about the story of revenge, "The Orphan of Zhao", which is based on historical stories, and "Hamlet", the representative of the prince's revenge drama.
For revenge, most people have an attitude of approval, for example, the ram Confucian of the Han Dynasty said, "The revenge of the ninth emperor of Xianggong, the greatness of the Spring and Autumn Period."
But most stories of revenge are always boring in the moment of revenge.
In terms of works with higher intentions, we have to say "The Count of Monte Cristo".
This masterpiece of Dumas, the story synopsis is actually not complicated, the protagonist Edmund. Dontés was framed and unjustly imprisoned for fourteen years, met the old priest, and learned from him the treasure of Monte Cristo.
After escaping from prison, Edmond. Dontés relied on the treasure of Monte Cristo in exchange for his status, and although Dontés, who came out of prison, had the treasure of Monte Cristo, he was already alone, his father was dead, his fiancée was married to an enemy, and apart from revenge, Dontés had nothing left.
After successfully completing his revenge on the three enemies, Dontese went into seclusion with Heidi.
Ignoring the rest of the details, it is just such a story, it seems, and it is not much different from other revenge plays.
However, a good work, to achieve, is to appreciate the common customs.
"The Count of Monte Cristo" leaves aside all the main theme and core of the work, we can also enjoy a wonderful revenge drama, the Happy Vengeance of the Count of Monte Cristo has the demeanor of an ancient hero.
The discussion of waiting and hope in the story is a sublimation of the whole text.
Waiting and hope are themes throughout the book, and the novel describes it as follows: "The total wisdom of mankind is contained in two words: waiting and hope."
The turning point always came in the process of waiting, and Dontese waited for the old priest, who not only completed his revenge, but also ushered in a new life.
The lows lurk in some part of our lives, unpredictable, perhaps unlike Edmond. Dontese is once in prison, but it is often unbearable.
At this time, it is precisely to wait and hope at the same time.
The turning point of a thing often appears when waiting, when the dilemma comes, only those who calmly cope can seize the fleeting flaws and achieve reversal.
Hope, on the other hand, is the importance of human survival, when you have hope, then difficulties can not defeat you, and Dontese in the story did not become a slave to revenge, in large part, because Heidi brought the symbol of the hope of a new life.
When we are at a low point and grasp the words wait and hope, sooner or later the turnaround will come.
