"Norwegian Wood" - from the perspective of aesthetic analysis

From the title of the book, it can be seen that the forest in Norway is a subarctic coniferous forest. It is a kind of thick green and lush, and a natural beauty arises spontaneously. When I first saw the title of the book, I was attracted to it. Norwegian Wood is a rock song from the Beatles' "Rubber Soul" in 1965. Haruki Murakami's book is indeed related to This rock song is related, because in this rock song "I once had a girl. Or should I say, she once had me." This book tells such a love story, which can be regarded as Haruki Murakami's legacy to readers. A little surprise.

? Thinking that there are many sentences in it that can be copied directly into the notebook, here is an appreciation of some sentences.

? "Everyone has his own forest. Maybe we have never been there, but it has always been there and will always be there. Those who are lost are lost, and those who meet will meet again." "Even the person you love the most will have a forest in your heart that you can't reach." These two sentences are talking about the differences between people. There is always some distance between people. This is what they are about. Everyone has their own independence, which is a unique beauty.

? "Death is not the opposite of life, but exists as a part of life forever." This sentence was what Watanabe thought after Naoko's death. This sentence affected my view of life and death. and death are not dichotomous, but complementary. This reminds me of Tang Xianzu's "The Peony Pavilion" "You don't know the origin of love, but it goes deeper and deeper. The living can die, and the dead can live. Life cannot be with death, and death cannot be resurrected." These two sentences*** Together they form my view on life and death. This sentence's philosophical thinking about life and death is a kind of beautiful thought.

? "If you are in pitch blackness, all you can do is sit tight until your eyes get used to the dark." (If you fall into the darkness, all you can do is sit tight and wait. , until your eyes adapt to the darkness.) Life is not easy, you have to learn to adapt, even if you are not used to it at first, one day you will be able to live freely. Life is like an adverse journey, you should use a reed to navigate.

? Let’s talk about the beauty of humanity here. When Watanabe and Midoriko were together, Midori asked Watanabe, "Do you like me?" Watanabe said, "I like you the most, Midoriko." "To what extent?" "Like a bear in spring." A bear in spring? What kind of bear in spring? ""You are walking alone in the spring field, and a cute little bear comes across from you. Its fur is like velvet and its eyes are round. It says to you, "You "Okay, miss, can you roll with me?" Then you and the little bear hugged each other and rolled down the clover-covered hillside. They played for a whole day. Do you think it's great? ""It's great?" "I like you so much." This is Watanabe's confession to Midori. There are two such descriptions in the whole work. The second one is Midori asking "How much do you like me?" Watanabe said, "Yes." You see all the tigers in the forests of the world melt into butter." The characterization of the language shows the beauty of the characters, Midoriko's liveliness and Watanabe's affection. As well as the eldest sister who helps Naoko, the connections between people are so subtle, and their kind nature is clearly revealed.

Later, Watanabe lost contact with everyone, Naoko committed suicide, Midori disappeared, and Aunt lived alone, just like the Beatles sang "And when I awoke I was alone, This bird has flown, So lit a fire." In the end, everyone lost it, which is consistent with the Beatles' lyrics. "No one likes loneliness, they just don't want to be disappointed."

From my point of view, "Norwegian Wood" is like a youth pain literature, but it has great differences with the works of Guo Jingming, Han Han and others. The difference is that "Norwegian Wood" has many philosophies of life, about life, about emotions, about life and death. This is its unique connotation and beauty.

? Its plot design has formal beauty, from the initial meeting with Naoko to Naoko entering a nursing home, meeting Midori, meeting Aunt, then Naoko commits suicide, breaks up with Aunt, and finally loses Midori.

? "Norwegian Wood" is a novel, more than a novel, it is more like an instructing for young people. If I have time, I think I will read it again, and again , in which new perceptions and awareness of beauty are found.
