From ancient times to the present
Love is an eternal topic in literary writings
Love can be interpreted differently in the pen of every writer
Let's take a look at the love of the literati
What does it look like?
Tagore said: Love is a full life, like a glass full of wine.
Leo Tolstoy said: Love is not expressed in words, only in life, with the whole of life to express it...
Stendhal said: Love has always been crucial to me, and it can even be said that it is my only major event. However, most of these women did not give me the honor of love. However, they did enrich my life, and after them, I produced my work.
Stendhal divides love into two types, the love of the mind and the love of the heart,
And both of these loves reach their extremes in "The Red and the Black".

The love of the heart
Without loneliness, where is love?
The love of the heart always occurs in those youthful periods full of fantasy. They have no more urgent desires than love, and they can live only for love. Yu Lian, this simple and kind provincial youth has a lingering heroic complex, he is romantic and melancholy, sincere and persistent.
Jullien's encounter with madame de Rainer, ordinary and natural, is like a classic passage in a knight's novel. The handsome young man went to the soup for the noblewoman, and finally won honor and love. Madame de Reina implied a sincere love and freedom, and thus Jullien's feelings for Madame de Reina were more pleasurable than passionate.
They naturally attracted to each other, completely banished each other's loneliness, and loved with a dusty heart. However, this also dooms this kind of love to be unsustainable, because as the mind becomes complex, the exuberance of other desires finally covers the yearning for love. Love takes a back seat and becomes a means rather than an end.
The love of the mind
Suspicion and jealousy out of love will make love grow
Even a person who is noble and kind by nature, sensitive and delicate, as his ambitions expand, will devote himself to hypocrisy and despicable intrigue and trickery. A few expectations are enough to lead to love, not to mention those glittering honors and benefits.
Calculation is the only way for the love of the mind. After overall consideration and planning, Jullien revealed his unexpected love. It was because of his imagination that he was convinced of what perfection there was in Mathilde. In the contest between conquering and being conquered, their love moves forward. This kind of love is too complex and subtle, and it is also heavy and repressed because of other things attached.
Both kinds of love, whether with Madame de Rainer or with Mathilde, are human nature, because no one can give a unified answer to love and a remedy. Those who are in love are experiencing a new love in their own way.
The emotional lighting in the performance is constantly changing, white and cold as pure as when love is born, intense red is like burning desire, deadly blue has a faint melancholy voice...
In the surreal space of light and shadow walking, all emotions are hidden in the light. Red is entangled in black, black and red are mixed, and julian's contradictions, Madame de Rainer's pain, and Mathilde's jealousy are all played in light and shadow.
Two kinds of love are intertwined, and the three people face each other with a knife and a knife,
Multiple contradictions ebb and flow, and emotional games are beyond imagination.
And as spectators, in every Jullien, Madame de Rainer and Mathilde, we see the love we are looking forward to, experiencing, and missing, and witnessing those backwaters and the eternity of my heart.
