"Are you that Lin Ming in the fourth?"

Xu Zihan's opening made Lin Ming stunned for a moment, he didn't remember that he had a fight with Xu Zihan in his first year of high school, it was a matter of the second year of high school, and it would not be until the first half of next year that Zhao Hao and Xu Zihan would have a head-on conflict. It stands to reason that Xu Zihan shouldn't know him now.

Although he had just said his name, Lin Ming didn't tell him that he was studying in No. 4 Middle School.

But soon, he thought that Xu Zihan recognized him after watching the video of the graduation party of the fourth middle school, so he nodded implicitly.

It would be interesting if the rival of the previous life became his fan.

Of course, Lin Ming would obviously be wrong. Seeing Lin Ming's admission, Xu Zihan's attitude suddenly became vigilant, and he said competitively: "You said that the failure of Jane Eyre's book is the greatest literary value, I don't dare to agree, literary creation is the use of paper and pen to do artistic processing, since it is to reflect the social phenomenon at that time, why not add your idealism to the work, to reflect the strong demands and aspirations of women at that time, and create greater literary value." Instead of being so reluctant to welcome it, it gives people a feeling of being anticlimactic. I believe that if you want to resist, you must have the determination to resist to the end, and it is the right way to continue to fight against fate to reflect the strong will of women at that time. There is no need to be so swaying, it will make people feel like they want to be a bitch and want to set up a torii. And the ending is so perfect, it's too unreal. After all, you also said about the social phenomenon at that time, such a perfect ending will only make Jane Eyre's rebellion in the first half a joke. ”

Unexpectedly, Xu Zihan suddenly conducted a literary exploration with himself, Lin Ming smiled and waved his hand: "This is just a little personal understanding of mine, say it casually, you don't need to be so serious." There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, you have your thoughts, I have opinions. There is no need to argue over who convinces whom. ”

"That's not good, literary inquiry is a very serious matter, how can it not be serious?"

Xu Zihan said: "Since it is a literary masterpiece, we must see some correct outlook on life and values from it, and explain the beneficial things that everyone gets from it, so as to promote each other's growth." What's more, I would also like to know what you think and experience about this book, and we will exchange ideas together. ”

"This ....."

Lin Ming pondered for a while: "Since you insist, then I'll talk about my opinion." Charlotte had sent her poems to the poet laureate of the time, but was reprimanded by Saussé, saying that literature should not be a woman's business. Even when writing "Jane Eyre", even the authors were signed by Colle Bell's male pen name, so you can know how low the social status of women like her was in the social environment at that time. In this environment, Charlotte herself is in a state of extreme inferiority, but she herself longs for women to get the social status they deserve, so in Jane Eyre, such ambivalence arises. In the first half, although Jane is poor, she is unwilling to be dominated by fate and bravely strives for self-improvement, which is to express that women should bravely resist fate and fight strongly. But no matter what, with the social environment at that time, it was impossible for women to be above men, so in Charlotte's view, as long as she was equal in spirit with men, she was already very satisfied. ”

"If you've read Charlotte's autobiography, you should know. The author, Charlotte Brontë, had a very similar experience to Jane's. is also from a poor family, the same is a tutor, and at the same time falls in love with a married man. It is precisely because Charlotte herself suffers from such a problem that she writes such a work full of contradictions in your eyes. Because the social environment at that time was like this, Charlotte longed for an equal communication with men, so the first half of Jane was full of women's unyielding tenacity. But in the second half, after Jane became rich, she really recognized herself at that time and had the qualifications to communicate with Rochester on an equal footing. This is a social phenomenon that truly and objectively reflects the contradictions of women at that time, and if you can communicate with men on an equal footing even if you are not wealthy, as you said, this is just an ideal that is divorced from reality. Although it seems to have great literary value, it is actually just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water, a kind of self-satisfied conjecture. ”

When Lin Ming was studying as a director in college, because of the teacher's task, he wrote a review of Jane Eyre, not only read the whole book, but also read a lot of materials, so he actually knew the background and story of Jane Eyre's creation well.

He took a sip of his coffee and said with a smile: "So in my opinion, the anticlimactic tail you mentioned is precisely Charlotte's brilliance." Because the happy ending is Charlotte's true idealism. At that time, it was impossible for such a perfect ending to exist, but Charlotte wrote it, not to tell people. After experiencing pain and despair, the hope that ignites gives you the motivation to pursue your own happiness. It's not like many island writers now, who are full of pessimism, saying that I was born to be human, I'm sorry and things like that. Because this ending represents a kind of hope, a yearning for light. ”

But since it is a kindled hope, why not create wealth with your hands, but accept an inexplicable inheritance, and then have the right to pursue your own happiness. Wasn't she fighting against fate and pursuing her own happiness before that? This contradiction with the first half of the article is also a little too great. ”

Xu Zihan shook his head, not wanting to agree. The controversy between him and Lin Ming is that Jane's personality changes in the second half and becomes too big with the first half. In his opinion, Jane should be kept fighting in her fate, and the ending is a little more miserable, so that she can carry out deeper literary creation, so that the article can be sublimated.

Of course, this view was shared by many people in later generations. For example, Sinclair Lewis, a great writer who won the Nobel Prize for Literature, believes that "the ending of "Jane Eyre" is too satisfying, and even detached from the social characteristics of the era when women did not have status, and it is a failure." ”

But there are still more people who think that this is the finishing touch, because the strength and perseverance in the first half of the first half, after suffering from hardship, it is natural for personality to change. After all, in that era, what Jane did was already very out of line. If it is still as drastic as the first half of the arrangement, it is obvious that there will be no escape from a bleak and sad ending for Jane's fate. Although this kind of literary significance is huge, it will make more female readers pessimistic, because even if they fight against fate, they will not get a good result. So why fight? So because of this, a happy ending symbolizes hope.

Lin Ming had actually told Xu Zihan just now that such an ending arrangement was actually a yearning for hope and light, a kind of longing in his heart. But out of the desire to find a sense of existence in front of the goddess, Xu Zihan would never agree with what Lin Ming said, and insisted on his own opinions and ideas to express his difference from the world.

Regarding this, Lin Ming, who is nearly thirty years old, knows it well. Even if he continues to argue with Xu Zihan, even if Xu Zihan agrees with his statement, but for the sake of face, he will never fall into disadvantage verbally, so Lin Ming knows very well that this is an endless paradox, and there is no need to talk about it anymore.

Hearing Xu Zihan's words, Lin Ming shook his head with a smile, looked at the other side of the beautiful Yunhe River, and stopped talking. Seeing that Lin Ming didn't want to take care of himself, Xu Zihan's face was not very happy, he felt that Lin Ming was too rude, and he didn't take him seriously.

So he turned to Enron and said, "Enron, I recommend watching "Wuthering Heights" more than "Jane Eyre". Personally, I think that the connotation of "Wuthering Heights" is a little more profound than "Jane Eyre". ”

"Huh? What did you just say? An Ran came back to his senses and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was looking at that boat just now." ”

"Uh...."

Xu Zihan looked at the Yunhe, and there was a sand dredging boat driving leisurely over the Yunhe.

What's so nice about the boat? Xu Zihan didn't expect to understand, and he didn't bother to think if he didn't understand, he turned his head and planned to chatter, but he suddenly saw that An Ran's face was a little wrong, because even if An Ran apologized, he didn't look at him.

This proves that she does not want to continue talking to him.

This is a very bad sign.

At that moment, Xu Zihan, whose IQ and EQ were not low, keenly realized that he might have annoyed An Ran.

We have to find a way to remedy it.

He hurriedly said very gracefully: "What I want to say is that my friend is calling me, and I will go first." ”

"yes, okay."

An Ran nodded politely, without any intention of retaining.

After Xu Zihan left, An Ran looked at Lin Ming with a slight apology in his eyes. It seems to be saying that this person is not familiar with me.

Lin Ming replied with a reassuring smile and did not show any unhappy expression.

Many people feel disgusted and even have a sense of crisis when there are suitors around their girlfriends, and feel that their girlfriends should show the outside world that they are famous. But the identity of high school students is destined to be difficult to disclose this kind of relationship now, which makes it easy for some high school students to become angry and angry with their girlfriends.

And once the two quarrel, it is easy for the woman to feel that her boyfriend has a contrast gap with other suitors, which causes the breakup and transfer to the arms of others.

In real life, there are many such examples.

A high school student romance is not a stable relationship in the first place. It is easy to collapse due to mistrust on both sides.

But for Lin Ming, there are many suitors for Enron, which also proves that Enron itself is indeed very good. What is there to complain about being favored by such a good girl?

Not to mention.

The previous life has proved enough that Enron is willing to die for him.

That this life.

What's the point of being a trivial?
