I once saw a book review of "Jane Eyre", the author interpreted it very specially, ta pointed out that the novel arranges a crazy wife for the male protagonist (and will die in time), exposing the mind of the hidden love intervener - to find a comfortable reason for his own insertion, and also lust a happy ending.
In a sense, it's part of the deepest wish of the heart to have a husband who is excellent in every way (talented and golden) and has only one crazy wife who will die when he should die.
When she first read it, Xin Yue didn't think so, but then she read many books, and slowly felt that this book review author had a sharp eye and indeed exposed some inexplicable things hidden in human nature.
When Xin Yue finished reading "David Copperfield", she also had a similar question, did the two wives arranged by Dickens for David also reveal some subconscious of male psychology?
David's first wife was Dora, the daughter of the law firm boss he went to intern with.
Dora is very attractive, beautiful, lively and cheerful, and innocent.
It is true that through Dickens's sketch, the vivid picture comes out, Dora is a very touching woman who can arouse the love and care of men.
David is very obsessed with Dora, from the beginning of the dreaming of the suit, to the later licking dog-like following, he does not see Dora's shortcomings at all, and does not consider whether they are suitable for holding the hand of the son and the son to grow old, or whether they can achieve union.
He only knows that with Dora he can forget almost everything, forget the ambiguous future, forget that he is an orphan, rely on the relief of his aunt, and forget the indifference and arrogance of Mr. Spannlow, who regards his daughter as a pearl.
David and Dora's love is similar to the flowers before and under the moon on the Qingqing campus, escaping from the real world mentally and talking about a love that almost does not eat the world's fireworks.
Why do people like to celebrate or miss the love they have when they read books?
It is because it is pure, all mundane things, fame and fortune, money, portal views, and stakeholder relationships, can all be shielded.
David and Dora's love is like this, they shield all the mundane of the world, and love to the fullest.
You can't doubt that David wasn't sincere with Dora.
Although Dora has zero ability to live, let alone do things by herself, she feels sad to even arrange for servants to do things, and she will tremble and turn blue when she encounters a little trouble.
David, who is set to have a smart head, but as if he can't see anything, he can still see Xi Shi in the eyes of his lover, and he is determined to overcome all difficulties and marry her.
However, this blindness can only last until the duration of the relationship.
When Dora became David's wife, the mistress of the family, everything was different.
David and Dora's love is no longer pure, but mixed with pain, helplessness and confusion, because Dora's negative ability makes David's originally simple life a mess.
In reality, what choice would the average person make?
Would the average person in reality marry such a wife? In fact, there is a high probability that it will be.
Because in the enjoyable love, many people are blind, not to mention that there are many people who like to immerse themselves in the happiness in front of them.
However, when it is found that the happiness brought by the other party to themselves is fading, and even because of the unhappiness of life gradually becoming negative, this love will be tasteless.
As a result, many CPs will part ways after enjoying the beauty of love and ushering in many troubles in life.
But David can't, firstly, because the age given by the author does not allow it - in the 19th century the success rate of civil divorce in England tended to zero; Second, you can't ruin the character of the protagonist Wei Guangzheng.
So what to do?
In order to let David escape the sea of suffering, Dickens waved a large pen and wrote Dora to death.
For the psychological needs that the male protagonist craves, Dora's mission has been completed and she is about to leave.
David's second wife was Agnes, a model of virtuous virtue, the daughter of a lawyer friend entrusted by his aunt to help David find school.
Agnes is good-looking, gentle-tempered, meticulous to the human body, comfortable in cooking life, even ice and snow clever, always able to give people guidance - David can get her help and advice every time he is confused.
Agnes was good, David had known for a long time, but he had never looked at Dora as a love object until she died.
He and Agnes childhood sweethearts, infatuated women one after another, but despite experiencing N troughs of lost love, he still nailed Agnes to the position of "sister".
It is said that the near water building platform gets the moon first, why didn't Agnes, who was infatuated with David, let him fall under his pomegranate skirt early in the morning?
Dickens did not say it explicitly, but there are traces to follow.
Xin Yue felt that the main reason was that Agnes was too perfect, in other words, too dignified, thus lacking interest.
When men are young, they like challenges and excitement, and Dora's surprise and extreme lack of common sense in life stimulate his desire to protect, make him feel very strong about himself, and enhance the wonderful experience of love.
And Agnes is always calm as water, calm, honor and disgrace, and men seem to have no room to play in front of her.
Another reason is that she and David have been together under the same roof for N years, they are too familiar with each other, and they have entered the old husband and wife mode before they are in love.
Obviously not in love, why did his ex-wife die, and when he returned to his homeland after N years of wandering, how could he say that he was in love?
Because he is tired and has no young romantic mood, he just wants to spend the rest of his life quiet, and he is simply not too good for his unchanged and IKEA IKEA Agnes.
In other words, Agnes has long had a crush on David, has he never known?
I think the average person knows that Agnes has a lot of people who care for him and his favoritism, including Dora and his aunt.
But he doesn't mind or avoid suspicion, and is intimate with her under the banner of "brother", enjoying the beauty of being loved and becoming a confidant with him.
The relationship was so ambiguously nurtured, and when it was needed, it became a marriage.
I always thought that only the Celestial Empire had the habit of using "sister" as a spare tire, but I didn't expect that this was a hobby of men all over the world.
epilogue
If David's life is real, even if it is repeated, he will still be obsessed with Dora when he is young, and he will still choose Agnes after Dora leaves, because these two women's traits are what men want (at different times), but they cannot focus on one woman.
Perhaps Dickens would not have thought of this, because the exposure of certain thoughts is unconscious, or that some views of the subconscious of human nature are also unconscious.
