Reflections on Carmen

After reading a book, I believe you will have a lot of feelings in your heart. You might as well sit down and write about your feelings after reading it. So, can it really be written? The following are my thoughts about Carmen, which I collected. Welcome everyone to refer to it, I hope it will help you.

Comment on Carmen 1 This is a famous saying of an ancient Greek poet. I don't agree. In that case, a woman's life is not too miserable. However, Carmen, the heroine portrayed by Merimee, is such a person. She is sexy and beautiful, with bronzed skin, bright black hair, unruly, proficient in witchcraft books and good at fortune telling. Since Don Jose first saw her, she has fallen, a mysterious Bohemian woman, and has broken into the conservative world.

She robbed past businessmen near Gibraltar, laughed loudly in front of her lover, confused the upper class with sweet words and lived a luxurious life. Merimee didn't admire the French woman who was elegant to the bone according to secular standards, but created such an unruly alien. The pursuit of freedom is the brightest part of her character, and she would rather die than surrender. When the conservative Don Jose threatened her to leave with her, she said the following shocking words: "Yue Se, this is impossible. I no longer love you, but you still love me. So you want to kill me. I can keep lying to you, but I don't want to bother anymore. As my Roma (Bohemian, meaning husband), you have the right to kill your Roma (Bohemian, meaning wife). But Carmen is always free. She was born as Gary and died as a ghost of Gary. "

As Carmen's monologue, this passage always makes me feel sad to read. I think of Belikov, who is timid and wants to isolate himself from the world in the high school text "The Man in the Condom". He and Carmen are worlds apart.

In the middle are ordinary people in the gray area, bound by tangible and intangible cangue ropes all day, afraid to pursue what they really want. Besides "house slave", "card slave" and "car slave", I also want to create a word "heart slave" myself. Such people are actually defeated by themselves, looking forward and backward, weighing repeatedly, afraid of this and that. In the freshman management class, the teacher said, "You should work hard when you are young. You have no fame and status now, so there is nothing to lose. " Youth is the greatest capital. "These are my feelings after reading this book, that's all.

During the holiday, I finished reading Carmen, a classic work by French writer Merimee. Merimee's novels are very interesting. To borrow popular words, it is "stimulus". For a century and a half, it has been favored by readers. He was a contemporary with Hugo and Balzac, and he was equally famous in the literary world at that time.

But judging from the quantity and depth of the works, if Hugo and Balzac's works are compared to "supermarkets", then Merimee's novels are "boutique cabins". Merimee's novels are short in length and few in number, reflecting the depth and breadth of society, far less than those of Hugo, Balzac and Stendhal, but they still show eternal artistic charm and become the "Merimee phenomenon". He ranks among the immortal writers with more than ten short stories, such as Carmen, Columba and Venus of Ile, among which he naturally has his own uniqueness. As far as Carmen is concerned, it became a classic as soon as it was published in 847, and Bicai's opera Carmen also became a classic of western opera.

I think the impression I got from reading Merimee's novels can be roughly described by a passage in Carmen: "A few minutes after the bell rang for evening prayers, a large group of women gathered under the high embankment by the river. No one dares to blend in with them. The evening prayer bell rings, which means it is dark every day. At the last moment when the bell struck, all the women took off their clothes and went into the water, so there was a lot of laughter. The man's eyes are wide open, and he can see nothing from the height of the embankment to appreciate these girls taking a bath. But on the dark blue river, the shadowy white human figure makes people think. As long as you think a little, it's not hard to imagine Diana and the fairies bathing ... "

This impression is not as vivid as watching Hugo's Les Miserables, nor as clear as watching Balzac's Human Comedy, but only vaguely seeing a bathing girl with a white shadow fluttering, as if the goddess of hunting and fairies were bathing. In other words, it seems to be in an abnormal time and place, like a myth, not a myth, but on the edge of life. You don't have to read all the novels of Merimi. As long as you look at this anthology, it is not difficult to find that the background of these stories is not a familiar metropolis like Paris, nor is it a crowded place. Although it can't be said to be isolated, it is also a remote place. It is the Christmas story of Loki Bear, which almost transcends the radiation of social forces. It happened in Lithuania, which was far away and strange. Another example is Mateo's loyalty to his family and Columba's design of revenge, all of which were done by Corsicans. It should be pointed out that Corsica was recently incorporated into French territory from Italy. The whole island has its own system, its own language, culture and customs, and its unique Corsican spirit. It is a place where French civilization is alienated, and even the French natives on the island are foreigners classified as fourth-class citizens.

Most of the island is covered by wild jungles and mountains, and it is also under the strong control of the original. Primitive power, which Merimee prefers. He wrote in Elie's Venus: "Power, even if embodied in evil desires, can always arouse our amazement and involuntary appreciation." The original motivation of personality no longer exists in modern civilized society, and it can only be found on the edge of society and time and space. In Merimee's first novel, he wrote a legend like Matteo. He lives on the edge of the jungle haunted by robbers, and the rivers and lakes are full of loyalty. He solved all problems with a sword and a gun. He is a hero who is respected by outlaws and even dare not provoke the military and police. However, it happened that his only son, who had high hopes for his son's gold watch, became a robber who was chased and injured by military police. Ma Tieao, who knows the inside story, is both novel and proud, and it is only an exciting temptation for people who live a mediocre life in modern society.

Literary critic Frank said that Merimee hated some writers for entertaining the public, analyzing their half-truths and "curiosity addicted to vulgar and vulgar tastes". He intends to challenge the public's taste and choose as many subjects as possible that have nothing to do with modern civilized society. Merimee doesn't want to look for rare phenomena and wonders under the impact of deafness and vibration by describing the edge of life around him like Balzac, which can make the sentimental citizens excited. Along this direction, he abandoned the rules and became Fiona Fang, and created two mythical female images, Columba and Carmen. Columba is a country girl, but in the words of a peasant woman at the end of the novel: "That girl is very beautiful, but I dare say she has a pair of poisonous eyes." And these poisonous eyes are the window of her revenge. She seems to have only one purpose in this life: to avenge her father and get rid of her enemies. To this end, she tried every means to make her brother and retired officer Osso yield, and finally killed the two sons of her enemy by Osso's hand. Finally, she even let go of her crazy enemy because she couldn't bear the blow, and went to see his painful face in person. In Columba's view, society, law, civilization and morality are meaningless. She has only done one great thing in her life, and then it doesn't matter whether she lives or dies. The original motivation of this character is more important than life. Anyone who dares to touch it will be unlucky, and may even die together. Unlike Columba's wild beauty, Carmen's beauty has an evil essence. When she smiles, everyone will be fascinated. Beauty and her witchcraft and cunning are her weapons. She brought Don Jose down with her beauty and became a robber and a murderer. Don Jose called her "the devil" and she also called herself "the devil"-"I will do anything that I am not allowed to do". When she no longer loves Don Jose, it is useless for Don Jose to plead, even if it is a threat of drawing a sword. She never changed her mind or begged for mercy, and fell down without saying a word after being stabbed twice. Carmen despises and resists any bondage from society and others by any means: "I would rather burn down the whole city than spend a day in prison." Even if she works hard, she will maintain the freedom of personality and keep her true colors.

These characters in Merimee's works do not undertake any mission at all, and have nothing to do with the fate interpreted by the world; They are on the edge of personnel, drifting away from society, like weeds in the wilderness and miscellaneous trees in the jungle, disappearing with life. Whether they are alive or dead, there is no tragedy, no logic, no meaning, and they cannot be judged by ordinary people's common sense. All they have is desperate running and dazzling brilliance of life. Merimee's stories end with bloody scenes and ruthless destruction. For example, alfons, the groom, was strangled by Venus, and Loki Xiong tore up the bride on their wedding night. How many people died tragically in Columba and Carmen ... However, Merimee didn't write this tragic theme as a tragedy, at least not in the real sense, but in his ingenuity.

Comments on Carmen 3 Peter Carmen Qing is a famous work written by Hesse at the age of 27. On the yellow cover, behind the green lawn, the golden Woods are gloomy and full of warmth and vitality.

In this book, Hesse describes Kamenqing's first half life, his friendship, love and affection, and his thoughts on the meaning of life.

Kamenqing finally sighed with emotion, "After so many tests and wasted so much youth, what have I got?"

In retrospect, Kamenqing read widely when he was young, wandering around and relying on his own contributions and writing; He experienced the loss of friendship and the frustration of love; He abandoned the so-called social circle and looked for warmth among ordinary people; When his father was old, Kamenqing returned to his hometown surrounded by mountains and participated in the renovation of houses and the restoration of two dams in the village. He once "didn't like to get along with people, hardly interacted with people, and his attitude was always full of ridicule and contempt". After tempering, he tried to become "calm, humble, mature, and more energetic inside."

In this way, it can be said that Kamen Qing got the expectation of becoming a literary giant, a beautiful and touching experience, and friends she once knew.

It seems different from our youth? Don't you have to work hard to get into a good university and find a good job? Is our understanding of the world untrue?

I remember my father didn't go to college, but he told me that if he was admitted to a good university, he would be free! I didn't go to college at that time, so I really believed it. I can't even wait to go to the free world he described.

After three years in high school, I used to wonder why my classmates around me were unhappy. There are so many people (including me) looking forward to the end of the college entrance examination, tearing up all the textbooks and throwing them into the unattainable sky.

But that day, we rushed out of the examination room, the tragic and lonely youth were forgotten, and everyone seemed to forget to tear up the book again. Maybe we are worried. What if we tear up the book and need to read it again? In short, what I expected suddenly became unimportant. Looking back, I feel a little disappointed. Fortunately, everyone has been admitted to the university and can move on.

On the first day of college, my little round face and I looked at our honest classmates and said, let's go to the library to read books every day in the future!

I fantasize in my mind that after studying hard for four years, on the day of graduation, I bid farewell to the campus with extraordinary temperament. I am excited for such an ambitious self and such a young ideal. At that time, I was still in the sun at seven or eight in the morning. It's a pity that I don't know, it is also the peak of my college life and the apex of my youth parabola.

For four years, I stopped in the library occasionally to watch Empire of the Qin Dynasty, Prison Break, several Hong Kong dramas whose names I can't remember, and pieced together several "papers" from HowNet. When I graduated, my thesis supervisor took the time to meet me in Gulou Campus. He is worried that my thesis will not graduate.

In this regard, I think of a friend of mine who made a paper the night before graduation and defended it the next day. The dean asked him: Do you know whose paper you copied? My friend said I didn't know. Dean strikes the table: It's mine!

Near graduation, our work has been settled, and my friend asked me to climb Mount Tai. The winding mountain road is foggy, and he told me this joke. I have a vague feeling that the foot of Mount Tai is not as short as other peaks under the sky ... The world of university is not what my father described, and it is far from what I imagined. Even, it is not the same as the understanding of the thesis instructor. He may not know it, but I handed in my paper without revision in the end.

Like Carmen Qing, I asked myself, "What have I got after so many tests and wasted so much youth?"

A diploma, a job for a living, and the regret that youth has not been spared from being ignored? Oh, yes, and that round-faced classmate, at my suggestion, studied every day until graduation day.
