Dumas' life background

Dumas (1824— 1895): a famous French writer, 1824 was born in Paris on July 27th. On the occasion of his180th birthday, his representative works include La Traviata, Three Strong Men, Diana de Liss, Mr. alphonse and Denisa. My best work is you. This is a joke told by the famous French writer Dumas to his son Dumas. Dumas is also a world-famous writer. He is the illegitimate child of his father's same seamstress. Dumas didn't admit that he was his son until he was seven years old, but he still refused to admit that his mother was his wife. The life experience of an illegitimate child made Dumas ridiculed by the world in his childhood and adolescence. As an adult, I deeply felt that the debauchery of French capitalist society caused many people who were insulted and hurt like their mother and son, and decided to change social morality through literature. He once said: "Any literature is morbid and unsound if it does not aim at the perfection of morality, ideals and interests." This is the basic guiding ideology of his literary creation. The discussion of bourgeois social morality is the central content of his literary creation. La Traviata by French writer Alexandre Dumas fils is a masterpiece based on his personal experience. Margaret Gautier, the heroine of the world-famous French literary masterpiece La Traviata, is based on Marie du plessis. The tearful love story La Traviata is based on her experience. Marie du plessis came from humble origins. My aunt in Normandy was a poor peasant for generations, and my mother was a kind-hearted, hardworking and thrifty peasant woman. My father is an idle rural wizard. Perhaps because of the hard life, her father is eccentric and grumpy, and beats and scolds his wife all day at home. Alfonso left her hometown for Paris when she was about fifteen. Although she is poor, she has a very considerable and unique "capital", and that is her beauty. This rare-looking girl began to set foot in the major dance halls in Paris, and immediately became the target of chasing by those dudes, the rich and the young. After stepping into the upper class in Paris, he quickly became a dazzling star in Paris society. She gained a very luxurious life at the expense of appearance and body. She not only got rid of poverty completely, but also seemed to make a clean break with her poor past. She changed her name, and the former Mary Du plessis became the present Marie Duplessis. La Traviata written by Dumas is based on the experience of Marie du plessis (Marie Duplessis). The novel and drama La Traviata have created some vivid artistic images for us, among which the most prominent and unforgettable is the heroine Margaret, who always wears a bouquet of Camellia (although she often changes colors, it is usually white), so people call her La Traviata. You can't confuse Margaret with Miss Mary Dupree. Alphonsina's life experience is worthy of sympathy, but she is indeed a fallen woman. In Dumas' words, she is "both a pure virgin and an out-and-out prostitute". But Margaret is different. She is beautiful, intelligent and kind. Although she has fallen, she still keeps a pure and noble heart. She pursues real love life with enthusiasm and hope, and when this hope is dashed, she is willing to sacrifice herself to fulfill others. All these make the image of this despised fireworks woman shine with holy light, so that when people mention the word "La Traviata", the first thing that comes to mind is not a cheap prostitute, but a beautiful, lovely and compassionate woman. Ancient and modern literary masterpieces have left many immortal artistic images for people, and Margaret can be among them without shame. The colors of camellia in nature are red, white, yellow and purple (generally white is the most elegant and pure), and there is no pungent smell except a faint elegant fragrance. This feature of Camellia just shows and represents a holy and glorious image of the heroine Margaret Gautier in La Traviata.

Supplement:

The writing background of La Traviata is the July Dynasty. At that time, the financial aristocracy held the ruling power of France, the society was restless and the class contradictions were fierce. Free competition makes some people bankrupt and others rich. The former leads a decadent life, while the latter emigrates. Many rural girls like Margaret have left their homes and become prostitutes after entering the city, which is exactly the goal of the noble bourgeoisie who spend money like water. In this society, money is everything, and interpersonal relationships are measured by money. These women were treated as facades and playthings when they were young and beautiful, but once they were old or lingered in hospital beds, they were left out in the cold and became victims of society. Margaret said, "We no longer belong to ourselves. We are no longer people, but things. When they talk about self-esteem, they put us first, but when they ask them to respect us, we fall to the bottom. " This is a bloody accusation against the tragic fate of prostitutes. Margaret was red and purple before her death, but "the more these women pay attention to the ostentation and extravagance of life, the more silent they are." These descriptions of customs are rare acts of genius in this love novel.

Charlie-Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte tried to riot against the July Dynasty in Strasbourg in 1836 and in boulogne in 1840 respectively, but both failed.

Q:

On the surface, at that time, the reform effect in France was still very good, the national economy was also growing, and the constitution was also well revised. People from the middle and lower classes can also stand for election. Why did the workers rebel?
