Chapter 271: You Broke the Law, You Know?
The scene was noisy.
Pankhurst's words were equivalent to a slap in the face to those who copied the original manuscript of "Lolita",
What does it mean to "destroy all women"?
The hat buttoned up too much.
Stephenson's face darkened when he heard this,
"Quick! Take her out! Move fast! β
You could tell from the tone in his voice that he was annoyed.
After all, he is the captain of the Leng Xi Guard who has served two generations of royal families, and he has never been done like this, and he helped Lu Shi watch the scene today, which is an exception.
Unexpectedly, Lu Shi stopped it,
"Wait a minute."
Stephenson was a little confused, leaned closer, and said, "Sir Lu, the most important thing now is to drive her away!" β
Actually, Lu Shi didn't want to talk to that kind of extremist person.
This kind of person will never make sense.
What's more, with the current historical background, "overcorrection must be overdone" is not necessarily wrong.
Pankhurst's extremes are also missionary.
When the land time is low-voiced,
"Sir, you should be aware of the nature of Lolita, and you will definitely face a variety of voices. So, I might as well solve it all today. β
As he spoke, he nodded in the direction of Pankhurst.
Stephenson understood,
But he still wondered,
"Sir Lu, you have the "Mirror" in your hand, and you have a well-known interview version, why don't you make good use of it? There's no need to have a war of words with this crazy woman! Moreover, as we saw just now, she has some sophistic talents. β
Lu Shi smiled,
"Except for some public events, I haven't been interviewed by the Mirror."
"Ah......h
Stephenson understood,
Everyone knows that Lu Shi is the boss of the "Mirror", so it is necessary to avoid suspicion.
Lu Shi continued: "Besides, have I lost the debate? What's more, what kind of book is "Lolita", and I don't even say it as a writer? β
Stephenson did not answer,
He stroked his beard lightly in embarrassment,
Previously, Edward VII and the Pike brothers studied how to make rules for the Lord of the Rings board game.
His Majesty the King often said: "Lu Shi is a board game of "The Lord of the Rings" that writes and knows a hammer." β
Well
It's true.
Land Hours: ???
"Am I wrong?"
Stephenson shook his head repeatedly,
"Nope! That's right! No problem! β
Lu Shi: "......"
I always feel that the other party has something in their hearts.
He shook his head, banishing his doubts out of his mind, and then looked in the direction of Pankhurst,
"Alright, let her go."
The security guard looked at Stephenson,
The latter chimed in: "Let it go." β
As a result, Pankhurst regained his freedom.
She smoothed her hair,
"Sir Lu, you don't want to use any conspiracy to play with me, do you?"
God Meow toyed with ......
Lu Shi almost threw up on the spot.
He said, "Sister Pan...... Forehead...... Ms. Pankhurst, I'm curious, why do you say that Lolita will destroy all women? β
Pankhurst snorted coldly,
"You wrote the book, how could you not know it yourself?"
Lu Shi frowned,
"Something to say."
Pankhurst bowed his head and groaned,
In the face of the scheming Lu, she must carefully consider her words, because the defeat in the Jane Eyre comic book version is still vivid.
After a while, she said, "Isn't that book, with its portrayal of Humbert as a victim, encouraging men to be perverted?" β
Lu Shi sighed,
"Don't be a person with a heart (zΔng), otherwise, everything will be dirty."
These words dealt Pankhurst multiple times the critical damage,
She started again,
βοΌ @*#οΏ₯%β¦β¦β
Lu Shi shook his head and said, "You have to figure it out, I didn't portray Humbert as a victim. β
Pankhurst said fiercely: "But that's how you choose words and sentences!" The whole part, all reflect that Lolita seduced Humbert, and Humbert just passively accepted! β
"Tsk......"
Lu Shi was slightly speechless,
I thought the other party would have some high opinions,
Unexpectedly, just shaking lips, the question is too primary.
He was curious: "Ms. Pankhurst, have you read it carefully?" β
Pankhurst nodded,
"That's for sure!"
Lu Shi asked: "Then can you tell me, what is this book?" Or under what circumstances did Humbert write the book in the first person 'I'? β
Pankhurst thought for a moment, and then his face changed,
Looking at that, I'm not going to say it myself.
Lu Shi then said for her: "Think about the last paragraph of the preface, 'Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the first piece of evidence is ...... Let's look at this entangled painful history.'" Do you understand? This is an excuse. β
The people at the scene discussed in a low voice,
After all, it is still the era of print media, and without the assistance of the Internet, the communication between readers and authors cannot be carried out in real time.
Therefore, it is a rare experience to be able to listen to the author's mental journey live.
Lu Shi spreads his hands,
"Miss Pankhurst, I'm proud of your performance. Because, my words ...... Or rather, Humbert's words do deceive you. You know, this is a self-defense that he spent 56 days writing and will be used in the trial to face the jury. β
Someone couldn't help but ask, "So, Sir Lu, you mean that Humbert is weaving the criminal process into a love story?" β
Lu Shi said: "That's right. No matter how sensational and poetic the words are, they cannot hide Humbert's violation of human ethics and criminal law. I even added a bit of a satire on chivalry. β
Everyone will smile,
When Humbert kills his rival Quilty, he does portray himself as an older, love-desperate male.
Isn't this the main character in Knights?
However, Lolita didn't need such a knight, so everything became coercion and crime.
Pankhurst said, "Sir Lu, you said it so nicely! Think about the last part, those confessions of Humbert, you write them, aren't you trying to justify him? β
Lu Shi laughed,
"That's where writing comes in. First of all, the first point, to create characters, we must learn to use contrast......"
The crowd was ignorant.
Smith, Natsume Soseki's mentor in the crowd, was the first to react,
"Remember! Natsume, take notes! Sir Lu is teaching skills! β
Hearing this, people suddenly realized.
Those who were originally copying the original text of "Lolita" didn't care, just turned the book upside down, wrote from back to front, and took notes.
Lu Shi asked, "How to use the contrast?" β
He looked around,
"Leaving aside the last part of the confession, what do you think of Humbert to Lolita?"
The people looked at each other,
The words that come to mind are: "seductive, suspicious, controlling......"
βBingoοΌβ
Lu Shi nodded,
But when Humbert began to repent and reflect on his sins, the arc of humanity appeared. This can create a strong sense of contrast, and make people unconsciously forgive him, thinking that everything he did to Lolita was out of the premise of 'love', thus dissolving the fact that he ruined Lolita's life to a certain extent. β
This is indeed convincing.
From the beginning of the birth of "Lolita", countless people have read it,
Those who are not firm in their principles are prone to think from Humbert's point of view until they read the final confession.
That's why Bonakov said that he "ridiculed the Confessions".
Everyone took notes.
Lu Shi looked at Pankhurst,
"Ma'am, is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
Pankhurst: "......"
Speechless.
Lu Shixiao,
"If you don't ask, then I'll say hello for you. You must wonder why Lolita died in childbirth despite being disgusted with Humbert's actions. Isn't it better to have a new life and a good ending? β
Pankhurst didn't think that much at all,
She nodded subconsciously,
After that, he reacted again, worried that this was Lu Shi's trap, so he shook his head again and again.
Lu Shi wanted to laugh when he saw it,
"Ma'am, you don't have to be so cautious. You're already a street rat in the museum anyway, right? β
Pankhurst's face was gloomy,
I was very unhappy,
But I have to admit that Lu Shi's advantage is too great, and he has the absolute initiative.
Now it's just a game of cat and mouse.
She said in a deep voice: "Sir Lu, don't talk about this kind of thing, right?" Is there any substance to nothing more than emotional catharsis? β
Lu Shi shrugged,
"I don't know who vented my emotions first?"
One sentence made the other party's face red and white.
The others began to heckle again,
Cheers, laughter, and boos erupted.
Lu Shi waved his hand,
"Let's get back to the question. Guys, have you read Nietzsche? β
Among the people who visit the exhibition hall of the original manuscript, there are not a few literary and artistic youths, but most of them are careless about Nietzsche.
No way, philosophy and aesthetics are boring to study.
At this time, Natsume Soseki's mentor Smith spoke: "Professor Lu, I didn't expect you to be a fan of irrational aesthetics. Come to think of it, "Hunting" and "Chaowen Dao" are also tragic to some extent. β
For his words, those who understand will naturally understand.
But most of the people at the scene didn't understand,
Someone asked, "Old gentleman, can you explain?" β
Smith cleared his throat,
"There is a very important argument in Nietzsche's irrational aesthetics - tragedy is the source of pleasure."
As soon as this remark came out, most of the people on the scene did not approve of it.
But no one refutes,
Who called this what Nietzsche said~
Smith chuckled,
"I know people don't understand. Generally speaking, the protagonist of a tragedy is a hero, or a person who makes people feel compassion, and the story of tragedy is the process of their suffering. β
Someone said, "I don't quite understand. β
Smith pondered for a moment,
"In reality, people will be bound by all kinds of connections and cannot get out of it. When watching a tragedy, you can stand in the perspective of a bystander to see the ups and downs of the fate of the characters, as if they have become gods, so as to obtain some kind of pleasure. β
It's hard to understand,
But Smith has done his best,
If he was dealing with his own students, he might have been involved in Schopenhauer's voluntaristic aesthetics.
Everyone was still confused.
Lu Shi spreads his hands,
"Professor Smith, I don't understand what you're saying."
Smith was stunned for a moment, then laughed,
"You're humble."
He knew that Lu Shi didn't really understand, just so that others wouldn't be unable to get off the stage.
Lu Shi said: "Let me give you a simple example...... Hmmm......"
He looked at Pankhurst,
"Ma'am, what do you think when you see Lolita taking the initiative towards Humbert?"
What else can you think?
Yes, of course......
"Quick! Run! β
Pankhurst replied, "I want to knock her unconscious, put her in a sack and run away from Humbert's side." β
Lu Shi nodded,
"Got it? That's the idea that only comes when you read a book from God's point of view. Don't forget, Lolita is a little girl who doesn't realize that she is being controlled by Humbert, and even after realizing that the relationship between the two is not healthy, she is still forced to cling to Humbert because she can't stand on her own, until she can't bear it anymore and decides to get rid of it. When you put yourself in God's shoes and feel that you are smarter and better able to handle that situation than Lolita, you gain a sense of superiority and pleasure. β
In fact, there are many modern TV dramas that are in a similar situation,
Even the Spring Festival Gala,
The more the audience complains, the more they love to watch, the essence of which is those ancient aesthetic theories.
And because it is related to human will, it also belongs to the category of psychology.
Pankhurst frowned,
"But 'Lolita' is not in the third person, but in the first person."
Lu Shi asked, "Who is the first person?" β
Pankhurst replied, "It's Humbert." β
Lu Shi spreads his hands,
"You see, it's not the protagonist of the tragedy."
Pankhurst: "......"
I always feel like I've been blown up by the other party's IQ.
When the land time looks around,
"I'm easy enough to explain, right?"
Everyone nodded like elementary school students,
Rustle Rustle β
The sound of note-taking sounded in the room again.
Lu Shi stretched his waist and continued: "Let's talk about the third point, that is, literary language. β
Smith said, "Professor Lu, there is no need to say much about this. Anyone who has read Lolita has not been struck by the magnificence of its rhetoric. For example, the beginning, there is an indescribable intensity, which is fascinating. β
Lu Shi shook his head,
"I'm not just talking about being flashy or not. In fact, Humbert has been intuitively shaped at the beginning. β
All are lost in thought,
Then the voices of discussion rang out from everywhere,
"Indeed, if you read that passage, you can see that Humbert is in an extreme state of mind."
"He took out every phoneme of 'lolita', chattering, repeating, rhyming, it is indeed extreme, and ordinary people can see that it is the emotional venting of Humbert himself."
"In this way, the beginning is a high degree of combination of form and content."
β¦β¦
The more ornate the rhetoric, the more it proves Humbert's hypocrisy.
Lu Shi spreads his hands,
"I won't say more about the writing techniques of this book."
The "students" on the scene nodded frequently,
It's like doing reading comprehension, where you don't have to listen to the teacher with the standard answers, but listen to the author teach them directly.
Lu Shi turned to Pankhurst,
"Ma'am, what I have never understood is how you, like those critics, only focus on the moral implications, plausibility, condemnation, or interpretation of Lolita......"
Pankhurst snorted coldly,
"What is this called? It's normal for readers to have their own perspectives. β
Lu Shi "forehead ......",
"But you say you're for women, on the side of women. Shouldn't you be concerned about the book's description of Lolita's helpless dilemma? β
One-hit crit!
"Goo......
Pankhurst wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't help it.
She couldn't say a word.
Lu Shi said again: "Lolita has to cling to the perverted Humbert, which is very pitiful; When Lolita grew up, she was brave, responsible, and very strong in her marriage; Lolita has gone through so many hardships and still wants to live a life of freedom......"
Pankhurst raised his hand and said, "That's enough!" β
Of course Lu Shi will not listen,
He continued: "Actually, you despise Lolita in your heart, right? Otherwise you can't say ......"
The words are not finished yet,
"Enough! Don't say any more! β
Pankhurst shouted again.
Lu Shi pouted indifferently, and accepted it when he saw it,
Almost.
At this time, Stephenson leaned over and complained in a low voice: "This mother-in-law, she keeps saying 'women' and 'women', but she only talks about groups, not individuals. What group is not made up of living people? β
Land Hours: ???
"Sir, when did you become so profound?"
Stephenson coughed lightly,
"My education is also good~ It's just that the current theory is being renovated too fast, and I can't keep up with you young people~"
Lu Shi wanted to laugh when he heard it,
"Don't, don't! You're still very young. β
This flattery made Stephenson very happy, and he laughed.
They're talking,
Suddenly, someone said, "Sir Lu...... Forehead...... Professor Lu, can you tell us more about the skills of writing a book? I'm more interested in the creation of science fiction, before you only discussed detectives in newspapers, so ......"
Before the words fell, someone said, "What is that?" Or academic works are important! For example, in "Guns, Germs and Steel", how did Professor Lu collect so much information? β
Swarmed
Ask any kind of question.
Natsume Soseki outside the crowd chuckled,
"Lu is like this, he can become a teacher anywhere."
Smith looked at the noisy crowd and said in a low voice, "Natsume, haven't you been making bad progress in your paper?" β
As soon as he said this, Natsume Soseki's head was big,
"Alas......"
Sighing gloomily.
Smith smiled,
"The three fields of literary theory, comparative literature, and literary history can be used as the basic theoretical basis for the study of a single work, a certain author, and a certain genre; Or combine multiple works, authors, and genres to compare similarities and differences, and it is easy to write things. β
Smith says this every day, but how easy is it to say?
Natsume Soseki sighed, "Literary research has its own set of languages. β
Smith let out an "um",
"Didn't you realize you had a good subject around you?"
Natsume Soseki: !!
A word wakes up the dreamer.
His gaze fell on Lu Shi, and he instantly understood.
Smith patted him on the shoulder,
"The only question is, there are only a few days left before the preliminary trial, are you in time?"
Natsume Soseki said, "I'm sure of Lu's words. β
Smith waved his hand,
"It's not just the content. Natsume, don't forget, essays are format-oriented, and English is not your first language, can you do it? β
"This ......"
Natsume Soseki hesitated again.
The corners of Smith's mouth hooked a subtle arc, and then squeezed his eyes in the direction of Lu Shi,
"Doesn't your roommate speak English as a native language?"
With Lolita as proof, there's nothing wrong with that.
Natsume Soseki smiled bitterly,
"But that's what I'm writing about. If he is asked to help with the proofreading, won't it become 'he writes himself' and boasts...... It's not in order! β
Smith said, "You're going to write about the great writer Lu, what about your roommate Lu?" β
!
Can it be like this!?
Natsume Soseki was stunned when he heard this.
And Lu Shi in the crowd didn't know that he was going to be the protagonist of Natsume Soseki's graduation thesis.
He was answering questions about his literary creations when out of the corner of his eye noticed that Pankhurst was about to leave the museum.
He cleared his throat,
"Ahem...... Everyone, don't be impatient. β
The "students" who respected the teacher immediately fell silent and waited quietly.
Lu Shi called out softly, "Ms. Pankhurst." β
Pankhurst's body froze,
She looked back gloomily,
"Sir Lu, you have completely defeated me, do you want to continue to show off your might?"
Land Hours: ???
"Sister, what are you talking about? What is 'showing off your might'? β
Pankhurst was also stunned,
"And what do you mean?"
Lu Shi spreads his hands,
"Uh...... Didn't you just use a fake ticket to get in? You broke the law, you know? β
For a moment, the scene fell into absolute silence,
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Everyone seemed to be trying to hold back their laughter.
Stephenson ordered Pankhurst to be grabbed and said, "You broke the law, you know?" β
After saying that, he took the people away.
