See how a liar succeeds.

Some novels can be thrown away immediately after you read them, and you will never think of them again. And some novels are meaningful when you read them. I want to read it again after reading it, and the more interesting it is. Amos oz, an Israeli writer, wrote a collection of novels called Scenes of Rural Life, which contains eight such novels. This article only takes the first part as an example.

The name of this novel is Heir. It describes the whole process of a stranger becoming one of the heirs in a very delicate way, and makes the image of the liar vivid through the superb description of the physical characteristics of the liar, the language of the liar's psychological design of the deceived object, the liar's eyes and movements. If you still have questions about how a liar succeeds, just read this novel.

There are three characters in this novel: Ali zernike (hereinafter referred to as the owner), a 90-year-old old lady Rosalia (hereinafter referred to as the hostess) who owns rural assets such as an old house, and a lawyer Wolff Mafzl (hereinafter referred to as a stranger) who tries to use the dark thoughts of the owner to obtain the property of the hostess.

The novel begins: This stranger is not a stranger. From the first sight, if I really met him for the first time, something about his appearance not only disgusted the host, but also attracted him. At the end of the novel, the stranger, the hostess and the man lie on the bed side by side, while the stranger keeps touching and kissing the hostess and gently says to the hostess, "Dear lady, everything will be fine here. Everything here will be beautiful. We will take care of everything here. "

What does the host dislike about strangers? Why don't strangers like the man's things to attract him? How did the man go from rejecting strangers to becoming strangers' partners?

1. What doesn't the host like about strangers?

1. There are many descriptions of strangers' appearance in the novel, and none of them are positive.

(1) He is a fat man, and he is still a fat man before. Pale yellow hair, fat neck, two watery eyes wandering around, as if looking for something, chimpanzee-like long arms hanging down, all of which make people feel vaguely uneasy.

He is very big, but he looks very weak, as if he had recovered from a serious illness. He used to seem strong, but recently his inner health began to collapse. His skin is gradually shrinking, and even his sloppy beige summer dress with bulging pockets is too wide and hangs loosely over his shoulders.

(3) He gives off a strong smell, which is the smell of digested food, socks, talcum powder and smelly armpits. On top of this mixed smell, there is a pungent smell of shaving water.

(4) He seems a little loose and weak. The skin seems too wide for him. His coat used to hang loosely over his shoulders, just like putting a coat on a scarecrow. His eyes are watery and a little hazy. At the same time, he seems to be afraid, as if afraid of sudden injury.

(5) His car is a taupe car, covered with dust, with colorful patches on the back window: various statements, warnings, slogans and exclamation points.

(6) The color of his clothes is like dirty sand, and two large pieces of sweat stains are exposed under the armpit of his white shirt.

2. The novel shows the lack of education and ulterior motives of strangers by describing their behaviors.

(1) He locked the car and knocked on every door to make sure it was locked. Then he patted the hood once or twice, as if the car was an old horse tied to the doorpost. You pat it affectionately and let it know that it won't wait long. Then he pushed open the door and strode to the overgrown front porch. His gait is staggering and almost painful, just like walking on a hot beach.

(2) He suddenly jumped and walked along the path leading to the entrance of the corridor steps, with his small eyes looking around, as if afraid of being discovered soon, or afraid that a vicious dog would suddenly jump out of the bougainvillea bushes on both sides of the path and attack him.

(3) Although the trail was dry, he stopped on the mat in front of the steps, rubbed his feet carefully, and then checked his two soles in turn. When he was satisfied, he walked up the steps and slapped the top of the screen door. He patted the screen door politely.

He wants to drink water. Although he discussed it with the host, he didn't agree, so he picked up the pot and poured ice water with a slice of lemon and mint leaves into the only cup on the table, which was for the host's own use. He put his meaty lips on the cup and drank five or six mouthfuls of water at one breath. He poured himself half a glass of water and gulped it down.

Why is such a disgusting stranger attractive to the host? Because the man has dark thoughts in his heart, such thoughts are beyond the reach of a positive human body. The man subconsciously hopes that his old mother will die early and start her life again after inheriting the inheritance. To this end, he even asked the real estate agent to evaluate the property. Despite his guilt and self-hatred, shameful thoughts prevailed. The idea was seen through by strangers and used.

Second, how do strangers realize their intentions?

There are a lot of dialogues in the novel, and strangers mainly use the golden words to lead their masters into the trap step by step.

1. Seeing the host for the first time, the stranger smiled all over his face, as if to bow; He cleared his throat and announced, "Mr. Cherkin, what a beautiful place you have here! You did a good job. A little Provence in Israel! Better than Provence-Tuscany! This scenery! This bush! This vine! Trilland is simply the best village in the whole Levant region. Very cute! Good morning, Mr. Churkin. Sorry, I hope I didn't disturb you. "

2. The stranger starts with a compliment and attracts the attention of the man with a question that hits the man's heart. "You are sitting in a beautiful corridor, and you don't realize how hot it is today. It's really hot today! Despite the hot weather, this place is still very charming! Trieland is indeed the most beautiful village in the whole country! Provence! Better than Provence-Tuscany! Jungle! Orchard! Centennial farmhouse, red roof, towering pine and cypress! How are you feeling now, sir? Would you like to talk about the beauty here, or allow me to go straight to our small agenda? "

3. Strangers close the distance between themselves and their host family by telling their host family's history, and prepare for their future share in family property. "Cernik family, if I'm not mistaken, is the descendant of Leon Acaoui Pinske and belongs to the founder of the village. You are the first settlers, aren't you? It was almost a hundred years ago, wasn't it? " "Of course," he was in high spirits. "I respect your glorious family history very much. Not only respect, but also admiration! First of all, if I am not mistaken, two brothers, Xie Miao and Boris Zernike, came from a small village in the Kharkov region and created a new type of settlement in the middle of the wilderness in the sparsely populated Mennashi Mountain area. There is no one here, only a barren plain with bushes. In this depression, there are not even Arab villages: all Arab villages are located on the other side of the mountain. Then their little nephew came. His name is Leon, or, if you insist, Akiva Ali. At that time, at least among people, it was a legend: first Xie Miao, then Boris returned to Russia, Boris hacked Xie Miao to death with an axe, and only your grandfather-or your great-grandfather? Leon Acavia stayed. Not akavia? Is it Akiva? I'm sorry, that's Akiva. To make a long story short, it's like this: our Mavtzl family is also from Kharkov area! From the Kharkov forest! Absolutely! Mafzl！ You may have heard of us, right? Our family has a famous lead singer, Shaya-Ye Xiaokai Mavtzel. There is also a senior Red Army officer named Gregory Moise Yevich Mavtzl, who was killed by Stalin in the great cleansing in the 1930s. "

The stranger put forward his own plan after arousing the owner's interest. "Well, let's start a showdown, just like ordinary people say. I take the liberty of asking questions today, which concerns your personal affairs and mine. Maybe it has something to do with your dear long-lived mother? I mean, something to do with the dear old lady? Of course, as long as you are not particularly opposed to raising this delicate question. " "As long as we think of your mother, we can't realize the value of property." "Unless we find a great place for her in a great nursing home. I happen to have such a nursing home. In other words, my partner's brother owns it. We just need her permission. Maybe it would be easier to prove that we are her legal guardians? In that case, we don't need his consent. "

When the stranger was thinking about it, he poked the host where it hurts. "I mean, the old lady's problem. I mean, your mother. Our property remained in her name until her death-who knows who she wants to put in her will? -or until we try to be her designated guardian. " Then, it further depicts a more attractive prospect. "This house can be torn down and turned into a nursing home. Fitness farm. We can build an unparalleled place in the country here: pure air, quiet countryside, rural scenery like Provence or Tuscany. Chinese medicine treatment, massage, meditation and spiritual guidance, people will pay a good price for the services we provide here. "

6. From the conversation, we can see that strangers gradually win: first, "this is your business, not ours", and then "it's not Mr. Ma Fuze, just call me Ma Fuze". Or call me wolf. There is no need to address relatives as "sir", but we are old friends. Not just friends, honey, but relatives. Even a partner ",and finally" I'm not a strict guest. After all, we are, how can I say, somewhat related? Even a partner? "

Third, how can the man's resistance to strangers be resolved by strangers one by one?

1. Strangers come prepared and don't mind the host's refusal.

The man suspected that the stranger was selling from door to door and refused directly. The stranger first affirmed the master's suspicion-"Exactly! How do we know if that person is a sincere salesman or a liar? Even god forbid, is it a criminal sent by a group of thieves to step on it? " Then tell yourself who you are. "But in fact, Mr. zernike, I'm not a salesman. I am Mafzl! "

The stranger first aroused the host's interest under the guise of helping the master and got the opportunity to sit down and talk.

The stranger reassured the host with a long paragraph: "Mafuzer. Wolff maftzl. Lotham-Prujenin law firm. Nice to meet you, Mr. zernike. I came to see you, sir, because of one thing. What should I say? Maybe I don't need to describe it. I should just say it. May I sit down? It's a little personal. It's not my private affair, I hope not-if it were my own affair, I wouldn't barge in like this without asking beforehand. Although, in fact, we did try, of course we tried, we tried several times, but your phone number was not in the phone book, and our letter was not answered. So we decided to try our luck uninvited. I'm sorry to interrupt. Under normal circumstances, we really don't break into houses like this, especially when they happen to live in the most beautiful place in the country. Anyway, as we said, this is by no means our personal business. No, no, absolutely not. Actually, it's just the opposite: it's about, how can we change a statement? It's about you, sir. Your own business, not ours. More precisely, it has something to do with your family. Or it has something to do with your family in general. More specifically, it is related to a specific member of your family. Do you mind if I sit down and talk for a few minutes? I will try my best to make sure that the whole thing won't take you more than ten minutes. But, in fact, it is entirely up to you, Mr. Churkin. "

The stranger ignored his master's boredom and cooperated with the purpose of asking him not to hurt him.

(1) The host sat the stranger in a chair far away from him. When the stranger heard that he was moving, he immediately stood up and shook it gently. His ape-like arm grabbed his knee, apologized, and put his ass in the designated position in his oversized pants.

(2) In order to enter the house, the stranger cooperated with the host and said, "Of course. Sorry, I won't bother you, dear friend, not at all. On the contrary, from now on, I will not say anything. "

The stranger seized the master's soft spot, pressed hard step by step, and never gave up until he reached his goal.

(1) The stranger peeped into the master's dark thoughts and drew him into his own camp.

The stranger gave his master a mysterious and tacit smile, like blinking, suggesting that they had made some small mistakes together, but seemed afraid that his gesture would lead to some punishment.

(2) When the host struggled internally and tried to make the stranger go away, the stranger firmly stayed to consolidate the victory.

When the host tried to let the stranger leave, the stranger still sat there, and even reached out and poured some lemon mint water into the cup that the host had used and was now occupied by him. He leaned back in his chair. He has two sweat stains under his arm. He didn't wear a coat or tie, just like a cattle dealer, he patiently and slyly came to town to discuss business with farmers. He firmly believes that both sides will benefit from this business. There is some evil happiness lurking in him, and his master knows nothing about it.

(3) After the host ordered the guest to leave, the stranger still acted according to his own intention and repeated the same trick to the hostess, because at this time he thought that the host had been firmly controlled by him psychologically and the hostess could not escape from his palm.

Strangers never thought of leaving, so they let the host float in the door, cross the corridor, open the door in turn, and calmly examine the kitchen, study and studio that the host is interested in. The stranger knocked on the host's mother's door. Because there was no response, he gently put his hand on the door handle and gently opened the door. The stranger bent down and kissed the hostess twice, kissed her cheek for a long time, and then kissed her forehead. The hostess opened her muddy eyes, reached out a scrawny hand from under the blanket, stroked his head, mumbled something or something, and pulled her head to her side with both hands. He responded to her and bent down. He took off his shoes, kissed her toothless mouth, lay beside her and covered his shoes with a blanket.

4. What does the stranger's attitude reveal?

A good novel must succeed in characterization. The novel "The Heir" portrays strangers in a penetrating way. From the stranger's eyes and posture, we can see the stranger's personality characteristics. The most important characteristics of strangers are hypocrisy and cunning.

1. hypocrisy

(1) When the stranger first arrived, he was nervous and restrained. He was dressed deliberately, and with the progress of the incident, his true colors were gradually exposed. He stood up, took off his beige coat, hung it on the back of the chair, and sat back. Then he said, "I'm sorry. I hope you don't mind, it's just too hot. Do you mind if I take off my tie too? "

(2) After arousing the host's desire, the stranger said in a soothing tone, "Sir, why are we in such a hurry? We need to discuss this problem carefully and patiently from all angles, and don't leave any loopholes and gaps. We must avoid any mistakes in details. "

(3) Treating the hostess, the stranger giggled, "Hello, dear lady. We miss you very much and really want to see you. You must be very happy to see us? " In order to win the attention and favor of the hostess, he said with emphasis, "Hello, my dearest wife."

2. Cunning

(1) There is a sly and happy expression on the stranger's face, as if he had just played a prank once, at the expense of others, and now he is complacent.

(2) The stranger's glib tongue and the voice of the lead singer.

The stranger was preoccupied with the next step of his plan, but he pretended to be calm and smiled. "I'm in no hurry. If you don't object, I'll just sit here and wait for you. Maybe I should go in with you and let the old lady know me. After all, I have to win her trust as soon as possible. "

(4) In the whole novel, the stranger is laughing, giggling, talking and laughing ... His laughter plays the role of paralyzing the other person's nerves and covering up the fact that he cheated.

This novel is a stranger's performance from beginning to end, except the character.

(1) The stranger stood up, imitated the executioner's posture, made the sound of machine gun fire, and showed sharp but not too white front teeth. He sat back on the bench with a smile, as if he were glad that he had successfully executed the death penalty.

(2) The stranger squeezed his left hand with his right hand, as if he hadn't satisfied himself for a long time. This unexpected encounter filled him with happiness. Endless words gurgle with endless joy, and there is a gulf stream of self-satisfaction.

For a moment, the stranger looked like a frightened child. He knew that he should be reprimanded and ashamed to beg for mercy. This expression disappeared in an instant.

The novel Heir actually describes a short story, which is not long from its occurrence to its end, and can be said to be only a small fragment of rural life. The author's description of this short clip makes readers look at the moving picture face to face and see what we can't see in our daily life with the author's sharp eyes. A good novel is the author's interpretation of the world, which can stimulate readers' interest in exploring the world and human nature. Reading Scenery of Country Life is a bit like watching Van Gogh's paintings. I hope more people appreciate it.
