Dickens's novel David Copperfield has a distinctly autobiographical color. The protagonist, David Copperfield, is a widow, not only born without a father, but also unladylike and unmarried by his mother at an early age, and his stepfather and stepfather's sister are scheming and unsympathetic. David Copperfield was humiliated and had no one to rely on, but fortunately, his aunt and grandmother raised him personally, and many people with good hearts helped him, and finally he was diligent and grew up.
Dickens's heart that perceives and feels life is warm, so his world is also warm. From a first-person perspective, the novel is eloquent, calm, happy but not obscene, sad and not hurtful, depicting the world's coldness to the extreme, and portraying the cold and warm of human feelings to the extreme.
The word life, as the name suggests, is the life of a person. Personal joys and sorrows, successes and failures, are all learned by interaction and comparison between people. Engels said that the essence of man is the sum of all social relations. This famous saying is an expression of theoretical thinking, somewhat esoteric and abstract, and it is not easy for those of us who are idle to understand. If you put it in another way, people are living in human relationships, and all the joys and pains in life are reflected through the interpersonal relationship situation.
Some people will probably blurt out when they see this, no! Hungry, I had a full meal, was happy, and had nothing to do with relationships.
I also blurted out, no! A full meal is followed by satisfaction, not happiness. Satisfaction is physical and happiness is spiritual.
Someone blurted out again, not right! I used braised pork for my full meal, and my neighbor used cold steamed buns for my full meal, and I found happiness in the comparison.
I blurted out again, you are right but you understand wrong! You compare the content and quality of the meal with your neighbors, and you find joy in the comparison, which is interpersonal relationships.
There is an idiom called Jinyi Nocturnal Walking, which is exactly "Yijin Night Walking", which means walking in gorgeous clothes at night, and the metaphor cannot show glory and wealth in front of people. Shi Zai, after Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, attacked Xianyang, some people advised him to set the capital here, but because he missed his hometown, Xiang Yu was anxious to return to the east, saying: "Rich and noble do not return to their hometown, such as clothes embroidered at night, who knows!" Later generations extended the idiom of "brocade night walking", which refers to the glory and wealth that cannot be displayed to people.
It can be seen that good clothes are worn for people to see, and glory and wealth are to show off to people, in short, it is inseparable from the basic condition of interpersonal relations.
The core element of interpersonal relationships is the index of human warmth and coldness. Human feelings are cold, even if the golden mountains and silver mountains and golden jade are full of halls, they can't help but fall into a lifeless situation. People are warm, even if the coarse tea and light rice, ragged clothes, there is also a happy and harmonious scene.
"David Copperfield", the much-inked maid Piguo, mentions her brother's family, which is the most exciting chapter in the novel. The houseboat docked on the shore of the sea of Yamaus, the family of several parties in the houseboat, the warm atmosphere of the family like the fire of the fireplace, read like a lifelike panoramic oil painting, like a song that is constantly chanted around the beams, which is engraved in the depths of the mind and reverberates in the depths of the soul.
Some people say that "David Copperfield" is recognized by the world as a very humane novel, the story is full of stirring rhythm from beginning to end, the pathos and humor are mixed, and the spirit of the whole passage is love and sympathy. I think so.
Of course, in the world of David Copperfield, the bad guys are also more typical. Such as the protagonist's stepfather Mordstone and his sister, such as the treacherous Iulia Hippo in a cloak of humility. The general characteristics of bad people are to value interests and take emotions lightly, have strong desires for interests, and have fewer emotional needs.
The world is not the beautiful Garden of Eden, and life is not a collective dance of good people. While cherishing our emotions, we must also learn to adjust the temperature of good human feelings, be warm to good people, and be cold to bad people. Be warm to good people, not only to return something, but also to encourage more people to be willing to be good people. Being cold to the bad guys is not only about being wary of what is being lost, but also about getting the bad guys to be resisted.
