1805 was the tenth year of Jiaqing. This year, the protagonist of the TV series "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan" and the Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen both died. This year, Beethoven's Symphony of Heroes premiered in Vienna. In this year, Napoleon was crowned again as King of Italy. It was also in this year that Leo Tolstoy's novel War and Peace kicked off in a well-dressed ball.
However, Xiaobian couldn't help but Baidu take a look at the timeline of "War and Peace" and found that it began in 1805 and ended in 1820, so "War and Peace" turned out to be a story that took place during the Jiaqing period.
From this point of view, both the war and peace in the book are too far away from us today. But after all, a masterpiece is a masterpiece, and you can read it from different angles to get a different reading experience.
Take the editor! Probably since I entered the pit of "War and Peace" as a teenager, I prefer to watch Natasha's love story. In 9102, I reviewed it again, and I planned to use the perspective of modern people to write a history of Natasha's marriage and love with a gossip heart. The love field is the battlefield, and sometimes, the war without the smoke of war is more bizarre and thrilling.
There are two male protagonists in War and Peace, Duke André and Pierre, but neither of them is as radiant as the heroine Natasha. Natasha is the soul of War and Peace.
If there's one word to describe Natasha, it's "Sue."
Many male writers create all kinds of beautiful women, and Goethe even said things like, "Eternal women lead us up." However, these women are beautiful, but their souls are unsured. They are the dream of male writers, both beautiful and virtuous. As everyone knows, Tolstoy has long said in "War and Peace" through Andrea: "The more unlikable a woman is, the more loyal she is." ”
However, Natasha was like a flower blooming wildly, her blooming, more for herself than for a certain man.
In 1862, the 34-year-old Tolstoy married the 18-year-old sophia, and War and Peace was written from 1863 to 1869. According to Tolstoy, one of Natasha's prototypes is his wife. Probably, only the newlywed Yan'er, a male writer who is deeply involved in love, will use a pen full of tenderness to create such a Su character.
Such a Su Natasha, naturally there is no shortage of suitors. In "War and Peace", Natasha's suitors are unknown, and below, the editor will talk about the main three in chronological order.
One, Boris
Boris is Natasha's playmate.
One day in 1805, Natasha, a thirteen-year-old girl, was playing in the garden with a doll when she saw her brother kissing a girl named Sonia. So she brought Inboris and asked him to kiss herself like a homemaker. The undeveloped little girl could not reach Boris's lips, so she jumped on a wooden barrel and pecked at Boris's mouth condescendingly.
After a kiss, Boris, who had just bid farewell to his childhood, told Natasha that in four years, he would propose to her, and the two would be together forever and ever.
Four years later, however, Boris has changed so much that it is staggering. He had long since left Natasha and entered the social circle of high society. Now Boris, there is only one word in the dictionary, that is, "climb up", even his marriage, is in the service of ambition. Boris intended to marry a young lady who was well-married, and he did not care at all whether the lady herself possessed beauty and virtue. If Boris recalled his marriage contract with Natasha, his heart would be filled with unhappiness.
However, when Boris first met Natasha, a young girl, he was immediately attracted by her liveliness and beauty. Boris knew very well that Natasha didn't have many dowries and wasn't the one he needed. But he was still fascinated by her, so he ran to Natasha's house one after another.
For the character of Boris, Tolstoy was not impressed. He often uses a ridiculous tone to describe the character's inflammatory attachment and attachment to the powerful. However, it is precisely because of this that Boris, who is in love, is extremely precious and cute.
However, just as reality determines that the best direction for poor Boris to choose a mate is to marry a rich lady, natasha who does not have much dowry is ideally objected to a young man like Boris who has no property.
Finally, Natasha's mother, the old countess, came out and had a long conversation with Boris. After a long conversation, Boris broke into Natasha's house and completely cut off the luxurious love for him.
2. Duke Andrea
Boris was eliminated and Duke André became Natasha's new suitor. The Duke of André is much richer and more powerful than Boris.
That year, the 31-year-old Duke André was tired of life on the road, he was often tired of life, but it seemed that no time had it been so bad. Just then, he saw a group of girls running toward him. Among them, there was a girl who was surprisingly slender. She's 17-year-old Natasha.
The Duke of André was immediately captivated by the energetic maiden. Soon after, he began proposing to her. According to Russian custom, he first had to obtain the consent of Natasha's mother.
Duke André was of noble origin, had a wealth of wealth, and was a close confidant of the High-ranking Official count of Sperland, who was quite important to the Tsar, and could be described as young and rich, with a promising future. However, Xiaobian believes that Andre is a good love object, but he will not be a good husband. In other words, he's not going to be a good husband for anyone.
Andre has a brilliant mind and strong executive power. This made him "colorful" in "War and Peace". Perhaps because of this, anyone who communes with Duke André will immediately discover the shortcomings of the other party and then despise the other with condescending attitude. With the exception of Pierre, André regarded only a very small number of new acquaintances as friends.
Once upon a time, the ex-wife of Duke André was also a young girl. Her liveliness and beauty, presumably like 17-year-old Natasha, deeply impressed Duke Andrei. However, only a few years later, the Duchess, although still young and beautiful, her husband was completely tired of her.
Soon after, his ex-wife became pregnant, but Duke Andrei intended to go to the front. Of course, we can't demand that a Russian nobleman during the Jiaqing period become a warm man, but Andrei's subsequent behavior fully demonstrates his ruthlessness. Before leaving, Duke André asked his ex-wife to go to a country manor to await childbirth, and to let his stern father and weak sister take care of her. The ex-wife did not want to go, first, she was used to life in Petersburg, and second, the level of medical care in the countryside was definitely not as good as in the big cities.
The ex-wife's request was ignored by Duke Andrei, who had a completely "you are just the next cub, but disturbed my quiet". Duke André's arrangement, which eventually led to his ex-wife's difficult delivery, did not receive better treatment, and after giving birth to a boy, the ex-wife died a painful death.
So, can The Duke of André, 31 years old, who has a history of marriage and a son, get the consent of the girl's mother when he proposes to marry a 17-year-old girl?
Unlike the rejection Boris received, Natasha's mother, despite her fear of Duke Andrea and fear for her daughter's future, agreed with trepidation.
Let's look at a similar situation in 9102, if Natasha was the daughter of a middle-class family. Of course, although the Natasha family could not give their daughter a rich dowry, they were certainly much richer than any middle-class. Her family had several mansions, several estates, and a large number of serfs. But let's put it as an analogy! If one day suddenly, Natasha, a little beauty from a middle-class family, is attracted to the president of a company with a wealth of hundreds of millions. The president wasn't trying to have fun, but genuinely wanted to marry her home.
Xiaobian believes that if the girl's parents can carry it clearly and sincerely consider the happiness of their daughter, they will try their best to break up this pair.
The president is more than a decade older than his daughter, and he has a son who drags oil bottles by his side, and the family relationship is complicated. Different origins, different experiences, the president may not be able to give his daughter a stable and happy family. Moreover, even if you are rich and rich, my middle-class family is also a small rich and safe, and there is no need to condescend to give you a kneeling lick.
The image of the Natasha family is undoubtedly positive in War and Peace, they are representatives of the classical Russian pastoral aristocracy. However, when the Rostov family faced The Duke of Andrei, who was richer and more powerful than himself, his flattery and obedience were engraved in his bones.
Recently, Tian Pujun's article about the British nobility was on the hot search. The text is full of worship of aristocratic etiquette. However, the so-called nobles are nothing more than "kneeling people"! They not only made the opposing sides of the nobility, but also the commoners kneel for themselves. Inside them, there are also small nobles kneeling large nobles, with clear hierarchies. In the case of Andre's marriage proposal, no one envied that he would marry a young and beautiful wife, but everyone thought that Natasha had taken a big advantage.
After Andre's marriage proposal was successful, his father demanded that his son must leave Natasha for a year before he could get married after a year. It is said that men and women in love are like glue, and even the toilet hates not being able to go together. However, Andrei came to a god-like operation, he left his fiancée and started a year-long tour of Europe.
On this European tour, Natasha, who does not have deep feelings with him, almost eloped with others. Had it not been for the Great Patriotic War of 1812, Natasha and Andre would not have had any intersection.
However, it was this war that sent the wounded Andre to Natasha. Natasha personally took care of him, and the two of them had an unforgettable old love and fell in love again. Soon, Andre's condition deteriorated and he died of serious injuries.
For life, Duke Andrea's ambitions are not rewarded, and it is undoubtedly unsatisfactory. However, before dying, he reaped the fullness of love. If Andre hadn't died, he would no doubt have married Natasha after his injuries. However, Natasha can't be 17 forever, she'll be old, she'll be fat, she'll burp and fart. As clever as Duke Andrea, perhaps tired of seeing Natasha sitting on the toilet for the first time. Only death will make him no longer tired of a woman he once loved.
III. Pierre. Count Bezukov
The elder Count Bezukov was one of the richest men in Russia, a great nobleman, and a favorite of Empress Catherine II. When he was young, he was a beautiful man in Petersburg. In other words, when the editor saw the above information, he began to suspect that 99% of the old Bezukov was the face of the empress. Perhaps because of this, he will never be married in such good conditions.
Despite being unmarried, the elder Bezukov had a large number of illegitimate children, and Pierre was one of his favorites. At the beginning of "War and Peace", the elder Bezukov fell ill and died, and before he died, he made a will and left the family wealth to Pierre.
If Natasha was Tolstoy's daughter,then Pierre was Tolstoy's own son, and he was deeply cared for by Tolstoy, the god of War and Peace.
One of Tolstoy's most eccentric ones was perhaps pierre's duel with Dolokhov. Dolokhov was a master of playing with guns, and Pierre had never touched a gun. Dolokhov was thin as lightning and had small targets; Pierre was skinned into ball lightning with large targets. However, Pierre, who shot him for the first time, knocked Dolokhov down, but Dolokhov failed to hit the massive Pierre.
Unlike many people's love for Natasha at first sight, Pierre's liking for her is more like her brother's care for his sister. However, after the death of his friend Duke André after the war, Pierre discovered that he was in love with Natasha. He proposed to her, and Natasha readily agreed.
After marriage, the married life of the two really corresponds to Tolstoy's words in Anna Karenina: "Happy families are similar." The only misfortune was Pierre's good food, Natasha followed him to eat the sea plug, and her slim and surprising figure became more and more rounded. However, with Natasha's Sue personality, it is inevitable that after marriage, it will not attract bees and butterflies. Fat is like the armor for defending virginity, which naturally makes suitors who covet her beauty retreat. In this way, the marriage between the two will become more stable and happier.
