Chapter 464: Absurd Truth
The Metamorphosis is full of absurdity at the beginning, which makes people feel that they don't know what Li Kuo wants to do, and it's not interesting to watch it anyway. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This absurdity begins when the protagonist transforms into a large beetle......
So everyone thinks that this beginning is really incomprehensible, and it is foreign.
But the further down you look, the more the feeling falls apart and becomes creepy!
Because after getting through the absurdity at the beginning, it gradually became a calm description of social relations and human relations, so everyone found more and more that in the most absurd place, there was a reality that was close to perverted.
So, seeing the intermediate stage, many people already feel that something real is gradually surrounding them.
"It's so realistic! This is obviously written as an absurd thing, but why does the more I look at it, the more it feels real? It's like it's happening around me. ”
Many people have already had such an idea after seeing it.
However, those who have read a lot of things and have a certain foundation in literary theory will begin to speculate about the narrative theories hidden in this book.
So they gradually discovered the reason why this novel can give everyone the current feeling - because the narrative in this novel is very calm, even calm to the point of perversion. Because in this novel, everything is calmly narrated, as if the protagonist has become a big bug, it should logically be fearful or absurd, or panicked...... However, the protagonist in the novel, although he has become a big beetle, is still so calm, as if he is just narrating the length of the neighborhood......
This pure and calm "God's perspective" and the narrative without compassion and emotion have given everyone an environment to bring in.
After that, there was no exaltation of humanity in it...... Everyone is still the same.
The relatives of the protagonist here, at the beginning, can't believe it, and then they have rejection and disgust in their hearts, and as time increases, this disgust and rejection also increases.
At the beginning, the protagonist was always thinking about his work, as well as about various payments and the survival of the family, and as time increased, he slowly changed a little.
This also makes everyone feel quite real......
In the era of capital, many things are like this, and your body is not just one person, but with the survival relationship of many people, and with a series of pressures.
Many people are under tremendous pressure, and may be burdened with mortgages, car loans, etc., once unemployed, the consequences are unimaginable, and at that time, a person will basically go bankrupt.
So everyone will think, maybe if you really become a big beetle, the first thing you should think about should be what to do with your life and family...... Instead of thinking about their own health problems, many things in modern society have been bound to capital, and personal values have begun to be attached to these things, which do not completely belong to themselves.
And then, everyone began to see the experience of the protagonist after that, and everyone found that the way the novel is narrated is unprecedented, there is a strange tension, and many narratives can feel this, anyway, it disrupts a lot of things, and also separates a lot of things, but in the end, when combined, it becomes particularly intriguing.
The attitude of the protagonist's family towards him gradually changes, and later, he begins to become more and more bored, and they begin to care about their livelihood, and the protagonist is slowly being forgotten.
And in the final ending, the protagonist ends up dying, piling up mountains of flesh......
The protagonist's relatives almost all have no uncomfortable emotions, and only a kind of rejoicing is left: fortunately, he died...... Then a lot of things are solved.
This ending makes people feel a little dark and depressing, and they can't breathe.
But after thinking about it carefully, I also feel that this may be the relatively best ending, after all, the protagonist has already experienced such a thing, if he continues to live, what will happen after that?
In fact, seeing this, many people feel that it is a bit of a waste to read this novel by themselves, and they all have a desire to talk to other people and then discuss it together.
Everyone found that among Li Kuo's recent novels and essays, this "Metamorphosis" is by far the most discussed on a meager level, and there are many people discussing it.
So far, the most liked is an ordinary user's comment - "I really worry about reading this novel, anyway, when I saw half of the glass heart, I felt very depressed." However, I have always felt that according to the routine of general novels, this ending should be that the protagonist should turn back into a human in the end, and then some changes have occurred, and then people will understand, and the transformation worm will just make him understand some truths...... But this is the end...... I really can't guess! ”
This comment has been liked and retweeted a lot, which obviously speaks to the hearts of many people.
Indeed, many novels usually have a fixed routine for such a big change - what kind of person the protagonist used to be, and then he suddenly had a great change, and when this change was resolved, he recovered, but became a different person.
This three-stage routine can be said to have been tried and tested repeatedly.
It's just that this novel has not been developed according to this routine, so there are many people who resonate with such a meager comment.
But under this comment, someone quickly replied-
"But I think it's precisely because of this ending that the whole novel becomes particularly profound! Li Kuo is describing the whole process of a person becoming a beetle, as well as the different imaginations of everyone else. This is to tear apart all normal things, put a person in an extreme environment and then test everyone's humanity and feelings for each other, so I think the ending is like this, but it makes the novel more real and believable - yes, this is also the most touching part of this novel, it is obviously an absurd story background, but why is everything in it so real and believable? Does it really feel like it's happening to everyone? ”
Such comments once again sparked debates and collisions between other people's different factions, and all of a sudden, the online comments on "Metamorphosis" became more and more hot, and climbed in the direction of hot topics on a meager scale. (To be continued.) )
