What did the ferryman say?
1, love
Love is the eternal theme of the novel, which is not only the basis for the formation of the novel, but also enables the beautiful feelings of human beings to be displayed. People are shocked by the pure and powerful love between Dylan and Tristan. This kind of love, strong enough to find each other, is not afraid of death, which is also the attraction of ferry people. The love between Dylan and Tristan in the novel is logical. It is normal for a woman to have feelings for the only person she can rely on when she is in danger; It is human nature that men are attracted to a simple girl who will care about themselves unconditionally. It is love, a strong supporter, which supports Dylan's soul of overcoming difficulties and not fearing failure. He returned to the wasteland from "home" to find Tristan and pursue his own happiness; It is also the power of love, which makes them dare to liberate their imprisoned thoughts before they can return to the world.
2. Home page
The theme of home is a hidden line in The Ferry Man. It is not difficult to find that the whole novel revolves around the heroine from fleeing to returning home, and then from fleeing to returning home. With the theme of home, I started my journey home.
Dylan died in a train accident. After death, every soul must cross the wasteland under the guidance of the soul ferryman to reach the "home". In those days when she crossed the wasteland, she fell in love with Tristan, her soul ferryman. On the way through the wasteland, the brave and tenacious Tristan defused the devil's attacks again and again, and led Dylan's soul through the dangerous wasteland. She reached the place that the soul called "home". These days, she has gained love and made her understand that "home" is beautiful, but it is incomplete without Tristan. It is a desolate castle with illusory light. So she looked for every opportunity to escape from "home" and return to the wasteland, and found the ferryman Tristan in the wasteland with tenacious will. On the way back to the world from the wasteland, she patiently untied Tristan's ideological imprisonment for many years and bravely led him to try to return to the world with herself. This indicates that this journey home full of love, hardship, faith and courage has a happy ending, and the perfect return through others and self has also sublimated the theme.
3. Salvation
Besides the two themes of love and home, redemption is the most prominent theme in the book. Not only because the content of redemption occupies a large space in the novel, but also because the plot of redemption makes the novel climax and fascinating. From the perspective of redemption, the novel unfolds the redemption plot according to the emotional development of the hero and heroine, making every story on the road of redemption thrilling and thought-provoking. The novel also uses many psychological descriptions of characters to present two completely unexpected redemption stories to readers, suggesting that only extraordinary courage and firm belief can illuminate the road to redemption, thus saving human souls and lives.
At the beginning of the novel, Tristan, a ferryman who has guided countless souls, will lead the little girl Dylan's soul across the wasteland in a new task. Along the way, he is clear-minded, experienced and fearless. He protected Dylan from entering the safe house before sunset, avoiding the devil who would pull Dylan underground at any time, crossing dark canyons and sticky lakes, and finally sending her to the other side of heaven intact. This is Tristan's redemption of Dylan's soul.
In the second half of the novel, Dylan, who became stronger gradually, knew what she was really looking for, and she decided to go back to the starting point to fight against the dangerous wasteland. At this time, Tristan, like Dylan, was at a loss, but he was timid on his return trip, full of fear of the possible consequences of violating the rules. Dylan, seemingly weak, supported all the beliefs of the return. In the same wasteland, Dylan became a ferryman in Tristan. She tirelessly encouraged and comforted Tristan, making him break the imprisonment of the wilderness and trying to return to the world with her. Finally, they met in the world. Dylan not only saved himself and Tristan's life, but also saved their love, so this is Dylan's redemption of their life and love.
