Compare "I would like to be a torrent" and "To an oak tree", and talk about their similarities and differences in the expression of thoughts and feelings and the application of artistic skills.

The ancient Greeks had a touching assumption: men and women fell in love because they were eager to find the other half who was originally connected with them and reunite them. However, countless love tragedies prove that once men and women who love each other are completely integrated, they lose their spiritual independence and personality independence, and the process from integration to separation begins. Perhaps the most beautiful and fascinating thing is the state of being at arm's length-the distance between mutual attraction and maintaining personality independence. The following is an explanation of the difference between the two views of love expressed in the two poems.

First, the choice of image and the orientation of subject.

The lyric hero in I want to be a torrent describes himself with images of torrent, barren forest, ruins, huts, clouds and broken flags. Most of these images are rough, broad and desolate, full of male masculinity. The images of lovers are fish, bird, ivy, flame and sunset. Relatively speaking, they are petite, lovely and warm, showing the gentleness of women and giving people a sense of beauty. At the same time, we should never ignore the restrictive word "mine" when reading. The restrictive word "mine" restricts the subordinate relationship of "lover" and appears repeatedly in five groups of opposing images. The lyric hero created an ideal female image for himself to declare his love ideal. It is not difficult to find that petofi expressed the ideal of love with men as the main body.

The lyric hero in To the Oak appears in the image of the tree "kapok". The unique image of kapok is used to compare image group such as Lingxiaohua, Bird, Spring, Dangerous Peak, Sunshine and Spring Rain. Contrary to the traditional mode of thinking, they no longer praise their beauty, but use a series of restrictive words. These words with extreme colors also convey such a clear message: the lyric hero expresses his love appeal with a female image with independent personality. Here, it is not difficult to find that Shu Ting expresses her love belief with women as the main body.

Second, the combination of images and the establishment of the theme

The two images of "I would like to be a torrent" appear alternately and are opposite to each other. Each group borrows different images, but circulates in the same structural pattern in each section. This endless combination of images and unchangeable structural arrangement enable the poet to express his passionate love freely, but what remains unchanged is the strengthening of the poet's love ideal-"Love is selfless dedication". Here, we are easily shocked by the poet's broad and unyielding masculinity, tempting women to dream of becoming happy "fish" in the waves of "him" and "birds" chirping between the branches of "him", climbing his forehead, flashing into his stove, and finally standing beside his pale face, like the sunset. In fact, he has been talking about his love ideal in a male-dominated way when we are casual, explaining the relationship between "he" and "his lover" in love, such as dependence and being dependent, comforting and being comforted, protecting and being protected. This kind of love provides men and women with their own role standards, and in this regulation, women are undoubtedly passive.

To the Oak Tree enthusiastically and frankly sang the poet's personality ideal. Oak and kapok stand side by side and stand independently, which is a group of symbolic images with brand-new character in China's love poems. The establishment of this group of images not only denies the old relationship between men and women based on personal attachment, but also transcends the principle of mutual love that sacrifices oneself and only pays attention to each other. It perfectly embodies the modern love character full of humanistic spirit: sincere and noble mutual love should be based on not giving up their independent positions and personalities. This is a great leap for the personality of the new era to surpass its predecessors in the concept of love. This transcendence comes from women who have been looking up and persistent, and it is even more commendable. As the poet himself said, "the relationship between flowers and butterflies is mutual, and so is the relationship between wood and water." Only one tree can feel the experience of another tree and feel the giving of birds, sunshine and spring rain. "

Third, men's ideas and women's declarations.

Shu Ting and petofi sang about the confrontation of love for more than 100 years. Shu Ting broke the petofi-style love ideal that men have been intoxicated for more than one hundred years, and also destroyed the petofi-style love myth that women have been addicted for more than one hundred years. What kind of love Oracle did this extraordinary woman write for us, which hit the absolute man and awakened the delicate woman?

Of course, no matter what kind of love view "she" and "he" expect, from the perspective of human nature, they all yearn for a beautiful love. But in terms of gender, there are obvious gender differences. Nietzsche said: men have shaped the image of women for themselves, and women have shaped themselves according to this image. Beauvoir, a French woman writer, also pointed out that women are not born, but changed the day after tomorrow. It is this subconscious that makes women unconsciously transform themselves according to the requirements of male-centered culture until they meet the ideals of men.

In "I want to be a torrent", my lover changed from a happy little fish to a bright brilliance. In the whole process, I am willing to bear the rugged, bravely fight with the wind and rain, even if I drift, even if I am destroyed, even if my life is bleak in the end. The premise is that my lover must be the kind of fish, bird, ivy, flame and sunset I want. Her virtue and intelligence set off his perseverance and courage, while her freedom and brightness witnessed his strong shelter. This is a man's love proposition. In such a love proposition, a woman will accidentally lose herself and become a vassal of a man. In order to maintain this attachment-she thought it was to maintain love, she had to suppress her personality and lose herself more and more.

The "I" in To the Oak is "kapok", and this image shows "she", which not only retains the gentle and charming nature of women in the male view, but also is full of vigorous life breath, which complements the rigid masculinity symbolized by the oak image, and "she" and "he" also create a brand-new love with the image of a tree.

"She" and "He": "Root, hold on to the ground? Leaves, touching in the clouds "-* * Dance of soul and flesh;

"She" and "He": "Share" and "* * * Enjoy"-share joys and sorrows;

"She" and "He": "You have yours" and "I have mine"-independent of each other;

"She" and "He": "It seems to be separated forever"-enjoy freedom; "But they are dependent on each other"-appreciate the tacit understanding.

This kind of love Oracle shows women's self-consciousness and individual independence consciousness. Shu Ting once admitted: "I realized through myself that today, people urgently need respect, trust and warmth. I am willing to use my poems as much as possible to express my concern for' people'. " To the Oak expounds the poet's concern for people from two aspects: female consciousness and personality consciousness, which has obvious enlightenment significance.

Perhaps because of this, there is always a long "shadow" behind her, and its name is "self". So she finally had to fulfill the sacred mission of the enlightener and solemnly declared, "Do you believe this?" Love? Not only love your stalwart body? I also love your stand, love the land under your feet, and push love to the level of moral appeal. From these lines, we can see that the inner emotional state of Shu Ting's generation still has a traditional sense of morality, flaunting a love view that conforms to the system. Therefore, it is obviously a serious misunderstanding to think that his poems have the tendency of "extreme individualism".

It is not easy for love and personality independence to take care of each other and complement each other. It needs equality, tolerance, personal dignity and a sense of self-realization. Only when both sides have independent personalities of these people's literary thoughts can this ideal of love be truly realized. Beauvoir put it well: Love should unite "two completely independent individuals", which is "based on the freedom of knowing each other clearly".
