Reflections on Chekhov's Short Stories

After reading a famous book carefully, everyone must have a lot of experience in their hearts. It's time to take time to write about your feelings after reading it. So how should I write my thoughts after reading? The following are my thoughts on Chekhov's short stories (6 in total). Welcome to read the collection.

After reading Chekhov's short stories and reading Chekhov's short stories for a week, I felt a lot.

I used to meet Chekhov's novels as reading in exams, and I was always happy at that time. Compared with analyzing lyric articles, Chekhov's novels with strong critical colors are much easier. But if you often do problems, you will make mistakes one after another. There are too many foreshadowing in Chekhov's novels, and there is no time to think and understand them in the tense atmosphere of the exam. Often a short sentence also reveals the rich inner world of each character.

I remember in the introduction of the book, Katherine Manthfield, known as "Chekhov of England", said in a letter to her husband, "I would like to exchange all Mo Bosang's works for a short story by Chekhov." We can also see how classic Chekhov's novels are.

Every article by Chekhov can reveal the essence of life and the decadent darkness of society from the most common phenomena.

Just as many people have commented on him: whether as a writer or a historical figure, Chekhov's growth and development path has profound educational significance, and the social and artistic values of his works are indelible forever.

It doesn't take too much time to read a Chekhov novel, but it will definitely bring you lasting shock.

The Chameleon is one of Chekhov's most famous short stories. It is a short story, but it vividly describes Ochumelov, a small police officer during the czar period in Russia and China. When dealing with a dog bite, it changed five times because of different guesses about the dog owner, vividly depicting a powerful slave image. The author's description without comment, through the self-expression and self-exposure of the characters, carried out incisive satire and severe and ruthless flogging in contradictions and gaffes.

Chekhov's thoughts on short stories The Trapped is also Chekhov's masterpiece. Rykov, the hero of the work, is a middle school teacher, but he is a typical figure who is backward, conservative and supports all the old systems. This novel describes a withdrawn and timid than Rykov. Even if it is sunny, he will put his head into the collar of his coat with an umbrella and rain boots, and try to wrap himself in a hard shell, refusing to contact with the outside world and accepting new things. Finally, I lay in my coffin in pain, looking for my ideal home. Trap Man is a true portrayal of the ideological status and mental outlook of some intellectuals before the Russian Revolution at the end of 19. By criticizing realism, the author wrote the background of a tragic but pitiless trap man.

All O 'Henry's novels, in a word, reflect the writer's strong yearning and pursuit for healthy humanity and healthy society, and have a distinct and true imprint of the times.

It eulogizes the simple style of beauty, kindness and mutual care of small people in life, although there is a bleak smile; It reveals the despicable nature of those "social darlings", such as arrogance, extravagance, intrigue and dishonesty, although seemingly relaxed and even ridiculous; It angrily condemns the ugly darkness of society, but jokes with "grimaces"; It not only praises the vigorous life embodiment of grassland pasture, but also secretly sighs that "the deceased is like this".

Chekhov's Short Story Review 4 If I say that reading is more important than falling in love, I believe many people will scoff, disbelieve and never agree. I know this very well. After all, now is the era of knowledge explosion. If you want something, you can tap it back and forth on the keyboard with your finger, and then press Enter, and there will be hundreds of messages for you to use. The greatest convenience of the Internet era is that it provides us with such a sharing platform, allowing us to request and use information. But I have preconceived ideas about this kind of thing. In my opinion, no amount of information is the opinion of others, which is uncertain and unreliable. Anything can only express your feelings if you are there and feel the truth. The information on the Internet looks too similar. There can't be exactly the same opinion as you. Because you are you and they are them. There is no intersection in life, how can there be an idea of * * *. What's your idea? You need to explore for yourself and find your real ideas from reading. As a world-class master of short stories, Chekhov's works are still of great significance. This kind of meaning is not only a kind of inheritance of human culture. If so, we can put this set of books on the bookshelf and put them in the eye-catching bookcase showroom for people to worship. Yes, it has no such nature at all, just because he is Chekhov, not anyone else. The earliest contact with the Russian writer's works may come from China's textbooks. Poor Wanka, a country boy, bent over his desk and wrote a letter to his grandfather who was far away in the country. He wrote a letter that could not be received anyway. What moved me was not the wonderful ending, but the wonderful memories of rural time in Wanka's letter. Yes, everyone has such memories all his life. Even Mr. Lu Xun, a great writer, recalled the happiness of Bai Cao Yuan, San Tan Ying Yue and the back garden in Xiao Hong's novels. It is so beautiful that people yearn for it. When a person lives in a city, he is most likely to feel lonely, helpless and confused. This feeling is like a blunt knife embedded in the meat, which hurts bit by bit. You want to get into it, but there is always a repulsive force that clearly tells you that you don't belong to it, and it is useless to struggle again. Live in despair until you finally sink. It was such a short story that attracted me, but at that time, due to the limited environment, I couldn't find more Chekhov's works to read, and I couldn't understand the feeling of loneliness behind that work. Today I understand, not suddenly, but because I have become another Wanka, a "migrant worker" who always misses his hometown but can't go back. I don't know what I will be like in the future. It doesn't matter if I sink like Xiangzi, or go back to my dream grandfather like Wanka. I was lucky enough to borrow Chekhov's novels during my college years, but I didn't have time to read them carefully at that time. I can only say that I skimmed it and didn't have much impression and feeling, because I was in a confused state at that time. Later, I bought two anthologies and read them in my spare time. But I have always wanted to have my own set of Chekhov, because he mastered the unique charm of writing, and because the meticulous translation of the translator Ru Long defeated all Chekhov's translations. From the May 4th Movement, China began to attract a large number of western books, especially Russian books, which can be said to have a special liking. Although contemporary translators also have good works, I stubbornly believe that those are just buffer zones when there are no old translators' works, which is a helpless choice. Just as the Journey to the West you got is not Wu Cheng'en's work. Feel it. This feeling is preconceived, and the old translators in China are the bridge of world culture. With their existence as gods, we can have a unique choice in this pluralistic era. Chekhov is the Chekhov of the world and my own Chekhov. When I finally saw this set of books in my hand, I was really excited beyond words. Dark green covers and simple designs often impress me more. Only People's Literature Publishing House and Shanghai Translation Publishing House are doing such public welfare undertakings. They give us heavy works, giving people the feeling that they are reading easily, and it is a heavy experience of bearing history and facing life directly. Relatively speaking, I prefer foreign languages and Chinese languages of People's Literature Publishing House, and I prefer to communicate with old translators. Infer deeper and wider things and contents from their works. Nowadays, many people are used to reading with e-books, but I prefer to read paper books. E-books always give people a feeling of being slowly commercialized. Although I sometimes read e-books and use mobile phones, I will never let go of paper books, which is really fun to read. E-book reading gives people the feeling of entertainment, and it is not impressive after reading it, while paper books are a way for you to read works. His description and some deliberate words can make you feel better and move me. Comparing reading with love is neither fish nor fowl, but I think reading is more important, because what you get from books is a broader life experience, an experience you have never had in your life. Others write about this experience, and you will experience this life. Everything else, including your own life, is a feeling of being limited. Although this kind of feeling is cordial, it is even more depressing. It is still going to work every day and walking in a straight line along the trajectory of ordinary people. It is not thrilling and has no vision. Or go back to the daily life of rice, oil and salt, and live a life as plain as boiled water. I find it boring to think about it myself. Life needs to be decorated, recalled and revisited. Books are a moonlight box for you to travel through time and space and return to the past, taking you into a changing world, a world of rural teenagers. Although the world is simple, how many times have you returned to this world in your dreams? Chekhov's novels are mostly short stories, and some of these works can make such a master. It can be seen that no matter what you like and stick to, there will be hopes and dreams.

After reading Chekhov's short stories, my first contact with Chekhov's works was Wanka in the fifth grade Chinese textbook. I remember that the teacher only explained it as a story and did not extend the social environment at that time. Finally, the teacher left a question for us to think about: Can Wanka's grandfather receive this letter? The thoughts left in memory are negative (and still are); When I was in middle school, I came into contact with other works of the author, such as Chameleon, Fat and Thin, and Man in a Condom, and I began to be attracted by the author's unique satirical style. What the author describes seems to be a chaotic world, full of people with strange words and deeds. These people are often numb, but they will show unparalleled vitality on certain occasions.

After reading the complete works of the author's novels systematically, the most intuitive feeling is that many social classes are unhappy! From farmers (serfs), squires, ordinary citizens to middle-class dignitaries in society, each has its own hardships, except of course those who are content with the status quo and have nothing to pursue. Grading distorts people's value orientation and social relations, just like the scene where two fat and thin students meet, and the self-consciousness of inferiority is based on the title of the position; The death of a staff member is a great irony. Different from the society where the price is clearly marked now, the author's pen is a society where everyone draws a circle of activities, and the anxiety and anxiety caused by a common unintentional act are infinitely magnified, which shows how much fear is brought by cross-class; The dog's fate changes back and forth in the mouth of a chameleon-like police officer, as if it were a joke; The doctor who went to ward six to make friends with interesting souls was misunderstood because of this bold attempt to break the inherent class barrier. Such a person who used to be content with the status quo and drank tea, books and beer on time was overwhelmed by vulgarity and hypocrisy around him. The shackles of class firmly handcuffed everyone, and the struggle after individual awakening was futile; Intellectuals' attitudes have changed before and after learning the identity of masked millionaires, which is not just kitsch. The scene of the conductor proposing to the matchmaker is simply a loud slap in the face to those who praise love, suggesting that class identity is above everything else; The realistic gap between a couple because they won the fantasy lottery is ridiculous; The bottom people depicted in The Farmer silently endure oppression, and the tragic fate of the class is embarrassing. The protagonist in The Jumping Woman is the epitome of Madame Bovary's classic image, that is, fantastic absolute emotion has nothing to do with naked reality; Behind the wonderful dialogue in fiance and dad is the prevalence of stealing security. After the failure of confession, the protagonist in Yao Neiqi steps towards self-anesthesia, leaving only emptiness around him. The female tutor in cowardice faces all kinds of difficulties and deductions from her employer. Based on the more unbearable experience, she still chose to compromise before an unexpected turning point, although she said, "It's really easy to be a strong person in this world!" In the end, the helplessness in the tone is unobstructed; Acquaintances first criticize vanity, that is, vanity is only temporary, without the basis of vanity dependence, nothing will be left; The last result of the complaints of the ninth-grade civil servants on duty at Easter is that they are doomed to be unable to get rid of the current situation of poverty and hopelessness; Najia in The Bride, like the awakening women in Ba Jin's works, escaped from the patriarchal family environment with the help of distant relatives and breathed freely in the new environment. Zaboj King in The Speaker took the shameless skill of "talking with people and talking nonsense" to the extreme. Dennis's absurd remarks in court in premeditated crime are a great satire on social reformism; Trading in hypnotic performance is the full expression of money first. ...

To some extent, Chekhov's shadow can be seen in some works of Lu Xun. Both of them are tragic figures from different countries, and both of them criticize with indifference. But the difference is that Lu Xun's works are always filled with faint sadness and despair, while Chekhov's works portray characters in a humorous and ironic way, which is one of the reasons why their works are fascinating. In addition, Chekhov's description of the background environment in his works is short, but it is beautifully written and fits well with the psychological activities of the characters, so a short story can be described as "complete"!

Personally, I feel that the greatness of Chekhov's works lies in letting people know short stories again!

After reading Chekhov's short stories, if we only look at his early works, we will probably come to the conclusion that Chekhov is also a comedian, ironic and clever.

Starting from the hunter, although the grass is still sunny, transcendental sadness, unstable struggle and fatalistic worries are gradually revealed. The protagonist either knows or doesn't know his purpose and position, but he has already made his own way. No matter the disgust and pain he experienced in advance, or the surprise of happiness and freshness, it is natural and natural, but this obvious reality has a melancholy temperament and touches the soul boundary. But sad but not hurt.

Then there is more obvious and deeper pain, represented by distress and Wanka, especially remembering Wanka in primary school textbooks. The pain expressed in this work is far beyond the tolerance of primary school students. The teacher also forced "classmates, do you think grandpa has received Wanka's letter?" Absolutely cruel education.

Occasionally, love sketches really make people shine, among which "Joke" is the most moving, pure, happy, so sad and so bright, and it is really "beautiful as a lyric poem". In addition, the female images depicted in Veronica, Other People's Misfortune and A House with an Attic are excellent, and their indecision, cleverness and suffering all reveal the virtues of persistence and wisdom, with unique sadness and romance.

Modernity in Chekhov's novels is worth studying. Works such as The Lamp and The Sixth District clearly describe the absurdity and unknowability. Chekhov's absurdity was hazy before awakening, and its causes were different from those in postmodern novels. However, the description of this emotional dilemma is indeed clear and meaningful. The choice of scenery and narrative style makes the confusion feel distant and profound, and it is even more melancholy and difficult to understand. I like Ward 6 very much. It's exquisite. Several conversations between Dr. Andre and Ivan, a mental patient, all contain metaphysical wisdom and are expressed so sincerely. Andre's identity change is also expected, but it is very uncomfortable.

Woolf said that both Chekhov and Dostoevsky wrote about the soul, which is true. Chekhov's soul is closer to sweet sadness.
