Are these enough? No more words are enough
"Home", one of Mr. Ba Jin's masterpieces and the first part of "The Torrent Trilogy", vividly shows the awakening of the young generation and the sudden decline of feudal power. It is a milestone in the history of literature. .
Jue Xin is the most successfully created character in this novel.

My thoughts after reading "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"
"When people wanted to separate him from the skeleton he embraced, he immediately turned into dust" This sentence is the last sentence in "Notre Dame de Paris" written by Victor Hugo. It sounds like, You would think: What is the reason for this desolate and sweet scene?
The story takes place in the Middle Ages. On April Fool's Day, wandering Gypsy performers performed songs and dances in the square. There was a man named Esme. Lada's gypsy girl attracted passers-by. She was beautiful and danced very beautifully. At this time, Claude Frollo, the deputy bishop of Notre Dame de Paris, was suddenly fascinated by the beautiful Esmeralda. , fell madly in love with her. So he called the church bell ringer, and the extremely ugly Quasimodo snatched Esmeralda away. Fabi, the archer captain of the French king, rescued Esmeralda. Da, caught Quasimodo. He took the bell ringer to the square for torture. The kind-hearted Gypsy girl did not care about the past grudges, but gave Quasimodo water to drink. Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Esmeralda Touched by her kindness, when others were insulting and insulting Quasimodo, she actually had the courage to save someone who had robbed her. Although she was poor, she had a kind and noble heart that many rich people did not have. The soul.
Quasimodo was very grateful to Esmeralda and fell in love with her. The innocent Esmeralda fell in love with Fabi at first sight. When the two were dating, Flo Luo followed secretly. Out of jealousy, he stabbed Fabi with a knife and ran away. Esmeralda was sentenced to death for murder. Quasimodo took Esmeralda from the gallows. Robbed
He came out and hid in Notre Dame de Paris. Frollo took the opportunity to threaten the gypsy girl and asked her to satisfy his lust. After being refused, he handed her over to the king's army, and the innocent girl was hanged. Quasimodo Angrily, he pushed Frollo down the church and fell to death. He hugged Esmeralda's body and died.
The 16-year-old Esmeralda was as beautiful as emerald, innocent, kind, and able. Good at singing and dancing, her golden-horned little goat is smart and considerate. She and it are the embodiment of beauty and kindness. However, in that era when asceticism was popular, such an emerald life was lost in the extremely conservative and failed church. "Broken" under the influence.
The 20-year-old Quasimodo was hunchbacked, one-eyed, and lame. His severe disability caused him to be ruthlessly abandoned by his parents and society at birth. However, he was extremely ugly. He has a pure and kind heart that is rare for ordinary people. Quasimodo protects Esmeralda like a treasure with his pure and unmixed love, trying his best to keep her away from all dangers, but as he grows stronger In the face of the huge evil force, his strength alone is far from enough. When Esmeralda was about to be hanged innocently, he was powerless and could only watch. Finally, he and Esmeralda were together. Eagle Mountain turned into dust.
Esmeralda and Quasimodo both had unfortunate life experiences. Although there were huge contrasts in appearance, they were both pure and kind-hearted and did not surrender to the evil forces at that time. The thought of hanging one's head. Because of them, other characters in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" have revealed their despicable qualities.
In addition to Quasimodo, there are many people in the novel who also love They love Esmeralda, but their love is worlds apart from Quasimodo's love.
Frollo, the deputy bishop of Notre Dame, is selfish in his love for Esmeralda. It is full of the mentality of possessing her and even killing her. It is precisely because of this that Esmeralda was sent to the gallows. There are two other people in the novel who are also despicable. One has a gorgeous appearance, Captain Chattopel, who was a mess in his heart, was a rough and uncouth Parisian playboy who played with the infatuated Esmeralda in extremely vicious ways; the other was the poet Grandcourt, who was a Those who were careless in Esmeralda's rescue, even ignored his savior, in order to save him from being dignified and abandoning his responsibilities. They really should be ridiculed.
What was the situation at that time? It made people angry, and the French Bourbon dynasty was so divided and defeated at that time. They had nothing to do with "criminals" except torture. The interrogation in court was like playing a game. There was no true love in their hearts. How could Esmeralda in the novel escape all this absurdity when she was born?
No matter what is right or wrong in the world, as long as your heart is full of true love, it will infect and move everyone. City love, this world will become the most beautiful and peaceful world

Highlights of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"
A desk lamp stood on the desk. After the heavy rain, everything was still the same. "Notre Dame de Paris" on the table was still on the same page, but there were more laments from the trees and tears from the sky. I was quiet. I closed "Notre Dame de Paris" quietly and fell into deep thought... Was it beauty that ruined her? Or was her kindness and innocence taking away everything from her? I am speechless... But she has love, the love that makes her happy, the love that makes her regretful Love, this beautiful gypsy girl - Esmeralda. Love is great, she is a great mother. Baggett - Esmeralda's mother, she wrote in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" A poem of love. When Baggett first gave birth to that lovely daughter, she said to herself: "My daughter is everything to me." Indeed, she loved her wholeheartedly. When the gypsies snatched her daughter away Later, she was heartbroken and walked into Notre Dame de Paris and became a nun. Every day after that, she prayed for her daughter all the time. She hoped that her daughter would be safe and happy. Baggett's love for her daughter is the true meaning of maternal love. It is the surge of emotion that desperately wants to do everything for his daughter. He loves selflessly and is an extremely ugly bell ringer. He was abandoned by his parents and cast aside by society when he was just born. It was the leader who took him in.
Their moral sentiments are far superior to those of the rulers and oppressors. It is based on this belief that many ordinary people in the novel, such as fishermen Peggotty and Haimu, although their families are poor and uneducated, they have a simple, sincere heart. The kind heart is in sharp contrast to the wealthy Steerforth and his actions.
Of course, this strong contrast also reflects Dickens's own moral outlook: "What goes around comes around." "Evil begets evil." The endings of various main characters in this novel are all designed along this vein. For example, Heap and Steerforth, who symbolize evil, finally received their due punishment; and Good people have found a gratifying home. Dickens hoped to use such moral values ??to transform society and eliminate evil in the world, but this was his limitation.
"David Copperfield" The artistic charm lies not in its twists and turns and vivid structure, or ups and downs of the plot, but in its realistic flavor of life and lyrical narrative style. What is attractive about this work is the flesh-and-blood characters. Vivid worldly affairs, as well as the character traits of different characters. For example, David’s aunt Miss Bessie, whether it is her speech and behavior, clothing, habits, likes and dislikes, or even every move and gesture, although it is not without exaggeration, But they all vividly depict the image of an old woman with an eccentric nature and a charitable heart. As for the portrayal of the maid Peggotty, it is even more lifelike.
Dickens is also a master of humor. Between the lines of the novel, one can often read his witty witticisms and exaggerated caricatures of characters. Critics believe that the achievement of "David Copperfield" exceeds all other Dickens works.
