Some time ago, "Israel's talents are called cheap" in "Dream Hualu", which triggered heated discussions. For the prostitutes and sex workers of Israel, most of the time they are malicious, believing that they are willing to degenerate and have fun and work hard. In the "Biography of Lady Li of The Book of Han and Xiaowu", it is written: "Those who are husbands and israelis who do things with Israel, love is weak and love is relaxed, and love is perfect." It is also said that Israel is not good, in fact, there must be a cause, and there is no unprovoked depravity and decay in the world. You will not be a prostitute because you are a prostitute, your soul will be low, and your hands will be pure and noble.
The heroine of La Traviata, Margaret, is a prostitute of "Israelites", she is young and beautiful. Because poverty has become the "social flower" of the Parisian high society circle, for all kinds of rich people to "enjoy". Living a lavish life, until she fell in love with Armand, her life began to be different. She no longer gave up on herself, wanted to live a simple and ordinary life, and said goodbye to her previous life completely. But reality is always cruel, and she died in the deep sea of hypocrisy and morality, "because the disgrace of the past is no way to be redeemed by a pure, noble heart."
Lu Xun wrote in "On the Fall of Leifeng Pagoda Again" that "tragedy is to destroy the valuable things in life for people to see."
Shakespeare also said that "tragedy is tearing up beautiful things for people to see."
The beautiful, pure, noble Margaret died lonely. Her conversion to evil could not gain the forgiveness of the world, her sacrifice could not be redeemed, and she used her nobility to fulfill the happiness of others.
Margaret. Long stature, small head, goose egg face, a pair of big dark eyes, curved eyebrows, thick eyelashes, a delicate and straight nose, small mouth and teeth, black curly hair, like a holy angel landing on earth, Armand fell in love with her at first sight. The first margaret was elegantly dressed in a long lace-trilament dress, draped in an Indian scarf over her shoulders, an Italian straw hat, and a thick gold chain bracelet that was fashionable on her wrist. Armand was fascinated by her, nervous and solemn, and wanted to make friends with her. Friends tell Armand that Margaret is a prostitute who can be treated casually and without being "rigid".
Dumas wrote in the novel, "We must be kind, we must be scrappy, and we must seek truth from facts!" Evil is just a boring thing, we should be proud of doing good, and especially importantly, we must not lose faith. Don't look down on women who are neither mothers nor sisters, nor daughters and wives. ”
The truth is that people have been viciously denigrating and hurting Margarets with the most vicious words. Under the pretext of hypocrisy and shame, the Margarets are viciously treated (margaritas are blind in spirit, deaf in spirit, and dumb in conscience).
Margaret was not particularly impressed with Armand, whom she had met for the first time, and habitually engaged in mocking and retaliatory pranks as she did with others who wanted to befriend her. Later, Margaret was bedridden because of lung disease, and Armand inquired about her condition every day, leaving no name or business card. Her life of debauchery and fornication made her already unhealthy body weaker and weaker, and she accepted the doctor's advice to go to Banier for recuperation. Here she meets an old foreign duke who has just lost his daughter, because Margaret resembles the daughter of the old duke and is held in captivity by the old duke as if she were a deceased daughter. After learning that Margaret was a prostitute, the old duke hoped that she would change her lifestyle in material compensation, but gave up because Margaret broke her promise. However, the outside world slandered, slandered, and mocked Margaret, believing that she had been adopted by the old duke and became the mistress of the old duke.
"In Paris, the abyss of evil full of rumors and slander, there are people everywhere talking about these things."
Two years after the separation, when they met again, Margaret wore a veil, Armand's feelings for her coldness burned again. Margaret was still young and beautiful, tall, simple, and pure in heart as a prostitute, unwilling to accept a handsome, wealthy, or even ready young earl to ruin her family. After gaining an in-depth understanding of Margaret's living conditions, Armand sympathized, pitied, and loved Margaret even more. When Armand can't stand Marguerite in relationships with multiple men at the same time, Prudens (a former prostitute and now a prostitute's agent) warns him, "Truly loving Marguerite will drag down her career, destroy her family, lose the motivation to struggle, be pragmatic, treat what a woman is, and don't owe a prostitute a debt." Although Prudence was also a prostitute before, there was no sympathy or pity for the prostitutes, they were only her way to get money.
Margaret reminds Armand of kindness (take care of his body), mistakenly believing that Armand, like other prostitutes, pursues himself only to satisfy his vanity, to find pleasure and dispel sorrows. Margaret had always been pessimistic about the reality, "We have vanity and can't resist the temptation of clothes, carriages, and diamonds." We believe other people's words, after all, prostitution must also have faith, and we sell our hearts, bodies, and postures little by little; We are vigilant like beasts and despised like untouchables. We are surrounded by greedy, take advantage of guys who will one day die like a dog after ruining others and destroying ourselves. ”
Upon learning that Armand truly loved her, she began to repent of her previous extravagant life of escaping reality through debauchery, alcoholism, and insomnia, when in fact she lived in pain. Hearing Armand's fervent confession, equal treatment, genuine care, sincere love, Margaret transformed back into a human being, plucked one out of a large bouquet of black camellias, inserted it in Armand's new hole, and agreed that Armand loved her. Margaret became Armand's mistress. "Annoy me alone, but the benefits are shared by the two of us", Margaret also fell in love with Armand. As Margaret said, "You love me for me and not for yourself," she is simple, kind, and sincere, and it is easy to give her heart because of Armand's love.
In order to go to the countryside with Armand to escape the summer, make love to each other. Margaret sacrificed her body to satisfy her spiritual needs, knowing that Armand would not be able to help pay off her debts and did not want to be a burden to him and cause him to lose his family.
With the old duke's sleeve flicking away, Margaret had no one to spend and pay off her debts. He also willingly and happily lived a happy cohabitation life with Armand. Margaret said, "I love you so much that even I can't believe it." We will be happy, we will live in peace and quiet, and I will say goodbye to the life of the past that makes me feel ashamed now. Since then, Margaret no longer interacts with friends, no longer spends money lavishly, dresses simply, and two people who love each other enjoy the real life to the fullest.
Margaret sold her horse, her shawl, and pawned diamonds to adjourn her debt crisis, all in the guise of Armand. Even when Armand was still a little angry and remorseful when he knew the truth, Margaret tried to appease and properly solve it. It depicts the stable, simple, and happy days of the two in the future, just to stop living the involuntary life of the past. Armand also gave Margaret the pension his mother had left for him in return for her deep friendship.
As they slowly approached a better future, Armand's father, Duval, appeared. In the fierce confrontation between love and affection, Armand persisted, even if his father used to corrupt the family reputation and insult the lintel to oppress. My father believed that "only a truly chaste woman can talk about true pure love." He also removed Armand's dead mother, slandered Margaret for being with Armand for money, and demanded that he be separated from Margaret.
Father, who touched the nail at Armand's place, turned to find Margaret. Duval is old-fashioned, believing that prostitutes are heartless creatures who only want to squeeze money, and they are ruthless and do not distinguish between good and evil. Even if Margaret presented evidence (tickets, receipts for buying furniture) that she truly loved Armand and did not ask for money beyond Armand's financial means, and that Margaret had made all the sacrifices.
Instead, he used morality to oppress Marguerite's compromise, directly pointing out that Armand's presence with Margaret was a defilement of the lintel, ruining Armand's future, and ruining Armand's sister's good marriage. Margaret compromised, and in the face of Mr. Duval's pseudo-morality, she had no choice, and helped Mr. Duval hide it all, maintaining his dignity as a father. Margaret sadly went into the arms of her new lover. Margaery returned to Paris to accept count N, redeemed her horses and jewelry, and lived a more luxurious life than before, because she only wanted to die quickly.
Duval pretended to agree with Armand's ideas and practices, no longer interfering in Armand's emotional life with Margaret, and Armand was ecstatic and felt very kind to his father. Upon receiving Margaret's parting letter, Armand is heartbroken, believing that Margaret cannot give up her previous luxurious life and has once again degenerated into someone else's mistress, a ruthless prostitute. Torn after love leads armand's return, back to Paris to find Margaret, a month of escape only intensified the determination to meet. After the two meet, looking at the ostensibly happy Margaret, Armand suffers insults to self-esteem and love, making him determined to make Margaret pay the price of pain.
Armand used the money to buy Olymp (Margaret's new friend) to get revenge on Margaret. Armand and Olymp humiliated Margaret to her face and wrote anonymous letters to sow unseemly things on her and spread them around. Margaret took Armand's insult as proof of her love for her. Margaret fell ill and could no longer bear the torment of Armand's revenge. Margaret came to the door to ask for peace, still did not tell the truth, just hoping that Armand would forget her and stop hurting her. As long as Armand doesn't talk to her about the future, he can do whatever he wants, she's his, mentally or physically. Armand, jealous of Margaret's friendship with Count N, offered a ticket for 500 francs to pay for the two of them the night before. The letter read, "You left in such a hurry this morning that I forgot to pay you. This is your overnight fee. ”
After Margaret fell ill, creditors came to the door without the slightest pity. "During the two-month period of extremely painful illness, no one was able to come to her bedside to give her a sincere comfort." The letter to the old duke was not answered, and she began to go to the pawnshop to pawn goods for subsistence. Fever coughed up blood, remembered the good days with Armand, and insisted on keeping a diary. Before Margaret died, everything in the house was seized, and the caretaker hired by the creditor was in the living room to prevent the belongings from being taken away, so that she could auction them after she breathed. After Margaret's death, the people who came to the auction were full of laughter, and even those who knew Margaret well did not have the slightest feeling of remembrance. The proceeds of the auction are used to pay off debts owed before death, and the rest is left to the sister and nephew in the countryside.
Before he died, he had been waiting for Armand, shouting Armand's name.
La Traviata is Dumas's famous work, in which he portrays a prostitute as the protagonist, telling her tragic and short-lived fate. She was born in the countryside, and poverty and beauty are her everything. Coming to Paris to get a good life, he was tricked into becoming a prostitute. She has no friends unless she is healthy and can "earn money"; She has no dignity unless she is out of revenge for ridicule; She has a noble soul and sacrifices everything for the happiness of others.
