The recently aired British drama "Normal People" now has a Douban rating of 8.8. The play is primarily about the teenage love story of the hero and heroine (Cornell and Marianna) who grew up in small Irish towns from high school to college. Following the previous article, this article focuses on the analysis from the aspect of family education.
In the play, Cornell and Marianne are both smart and studious, and after graduating from high school, they are both admitted to Top Universities in Ireland, and both of them are scholarship winners from their respective departments. According to China's good student standards, these two are also proper academic overlords. Of course, academic success is inseparable from their own efforts, but different families have a completely different impact on them. To achieve the desired goal, in addition to their own efforts, and family education, family environment also has a lot to do with, different family situations will give people a different starting point, and even affect a lifetime. Let's take a look at what homeschooling has brought them? What kind of family is a good family?
Cornell and Marianne
Marianna has a lawyer mother and an older brother. The family is wealthy, and having properties in different places is more like a manor house on vacation. With such conditions, the audience and even her classmates will generally think that she will be a favored princess. However, her position in the family is not like this, and her mother blindly protects her brother, watching his brother speak harshly but never speak for Marianne. His brother did not show the slightest intention of loving her, but only cared that she would not embarrass herself when she went out. Such a family often caused Marianna's inner self-denial, insecurity, and feeling that she was not worthy of being loved.
Cornell's mother was a cleaner, and sometimes her salary was not guaranteed. But Cornell's mother perfectly explained how to teach a son with countless good characters, which is a model of a loving mother and a strict father. At this point, she has been so successful.
Cornell's mother
respect
Give your son freedom and believe that his son can handle the relationship well. From Cornell's mother's attitude towards her son's adolescent sex, it can be seen that she trusts her son very much and does not care too much.
However, Kang's mother did not completely ignore Cornell and ignore it. When she discovers that Cornell and Mariana are secretly in love, but he invites another girl to the ball, Kang's mother immediately shows her attitude. Extremely angry, she got out of her son's car, righteously pointed out Cornell's wrong approach, and completely sided with Marianne and felt unworthy for her. This taught Cornell more what respect is.
The story of the famous modern scholar, poet, historian, writer, philosopher Hu Shi and his mother also confirms this importance. Hu Shi lost his father at an early age, and his mother took on the heavy responsibility of life in the midst of difficulties. His mother was kind to him many times, but she would never tolerate anything that hindered the dignity of the person. Mother is the first teacher in life, the mother to demonstrate the subtle education and influence of Hu Shi, so that Hu Shi understands what he should do and can do, what should not be done and can not be done.
Cornell's mother comforted Marianne
grateful
In one small incident, Kang's mother, in a phone call with Cornell after college, stressed that she wanted him to thank Marianne for introducing him to work. Even if the work was actually introduced by Marianna to a friend of Cornell's help, even if Marianne only helped indirectly, Cornell must have insisted that Cornell express her gratitude. "The grace of dripping water, when the spring repays". Learning to be grateful, Kang's mother taught Cornell another lesson.
Self-reliance
Despite the financial hardship, Kang's mother also taught Cornell how to support herself with her own actions. Cornell spends a lot of time working in restaurants, libraries, etc. to earn his living expenses and accommodation expenses. Kang Mu set an example and taught Cornell to support himself.
Love
Just like in "Ne Jia", Ne Jia's mother took time to accompany him no matter how busy she was. Even if they are not in the same place, the phone calls between Kang Mu and Cornell are very warm, and they will not hesitate to express love in the end. In contrast, Marianna and her mother would not talk to each other unless necessary, and would not meet unless necessary. Even at Christmas, she would refuse to be busy. Cornell's Christmas is full of laughter and warms everyone.
Cornell had such a mother, and Marianne was really envious. Family education, Kang's mother won. Good family education, a loving family environment is more important than the amount of money. A good mother who gives her children endless love and can teach her children to know how to respect, learn to be grateful, and support themselves is an invisible and huge wealth for her children everywhere.
