Moon with sixpence

"The Moon and Sixpence", the first novel that makes me feel like a fish in the throat, with curiosity about the dark side and the disgust of not being able to accept such a person, it is quite ruined, the twist is also big, many places write the depreciation of women, women are short-sighted and only love, want to trap men, and men's souls are free and majestic... The character of Strickland is portrayed as repugnant.

Some students said that you can't use the so-called three views to comment on literary characters, people are very complicated, but now many people say in a word, scumbags, scum. I think he sarcastically ridiculed others, not to hurt others, but because he thought so, and he said it. From beginning to end, this person is very pure, many people will feel that this person has no heart, friends so help him, he also ... Sorry, all the worldly ideas, the moral concepts, these people do not care, the only purpose of his life is the pursuit of art, nothing more. His behavior is indeed contrary to social concepts, and there is no need for you to elevate this character from the perspective of human nature, which students think is over-interpreted.

The purpose of his life is to pursue art, but it is also a fact that he hurt others, if it is interpreted with the so-called three views, then the so-called art is only a tool of entertainment, and the author gives him these, because he himself is a contradictory role, it is undeniable that he pursues the spirit, but he is also a fact relative to social ideas, and everyone's point of view is different, then the reader can completely criticize his behavior.

I think very few people will raise him. When we read books, we are bystanders, we read books to broaden our horizons, improve our cognition, and self-confirm. The so-called art is not excessively exalted? You say he's pure, and I agree, but only a little bit. He resolutely abandons the world and is not moved by external objects. There is no desire or demand other than the pursuit of painting in his heart, then I very much agree with his purity. But he wasn't. The person who helped him, I think he is the purest, he even gave him his wife, this is not purer than the protagonist. Thinking of this, I can't help but laugh at him in the world. Maybe this book is not for Chinese. But the students are looking at it from such an angle: it is about the struggle between the world and the ideal, and what they see is a soul who is tied up by the world and struggling and suffering in the world, which can be said to be a belittling of women, or it can be said that it is contempt for the world, an abhorrence of surrendering to their own desires, in order to love ideals and freedom to get rid of the worldly entanglements, and even in the world full of worldly, many people cannot do it.

First of all, in the eyes of the world, he should be happy, he has a happy family and a successful career, but he and her wife are not in love, because even if his wife sends someone to find him, he is only careful that he has a bad reputation in the circle where he lives. Imagine if your disliked person would be together, would your family be a constraint on you, and would your career be the same? I think most people will have the idea of letting go of everything and going after their distant land to pursue their soul's homeland, but few people really have the courage to do it. Under such a bondage, the love buried in the heart will become stronger and stronger, and the birds trapped by the golden cage will have the crazy idea of "having to paint".

I didn't even read it at the end of the book, and it was too annoying. If you need to read this book and abandon your emotions and ethics like the protagonist, then look at his meaning. My reading of this book only fuels my anger even more, as well as the contempt and denigration of these so-called artists.
