Throughout the ages, there have been countless literary works describing love. The heroines in these works are not entirely good women in the eyes of the world, but the qualities they possess are worthy of us Thinking and learning, for example: Alexandre Dumas's Margaret, the heroine of the novel "La Traviata".
Although Marguerite is a social flower in the upper class, she has an extremely holy and noble soul. The combination of the two seems to be contradictory, but it is also the wise point of the author Alexandre Dumas.
Since its publication in 1848, this novel has caused a constant sensation. Everyone praises it, and there are almost no bad reviews. Not only that, even the scripts and operas adapted from the same name are also world-renowned, and their artistic value is unique in the world.
It is worth mentioning that Dumas's "La Traviata" is also the first foreign novel translated in my country. The famous modern translator Lin Shu translated this novel in 1898 and published it under the name "The Lady of the Camellia", creating a modern history of translation literature in my country.
Various signs indicate that the sensation of "La Traviata" is by no means accidental, and countless readers were moved by it, and there is a reason for it to cry. Especially the heroine Margaret is full of legends. Even now, many readers are still attracted by it and deeply moved.
On the whole, "La Traviata" is not big and the story line is not complicated, but the author described it with eloquence, it is easy to substitute readers into it, and it is involuntarily moved by the love between the hero and the hero. , And was moved by Margaret's personality.
Although Marguerite is a social flower in the upper class, she dares to make choices and sacrifices when she encounters love. This spirit has already surpassed the profession itself and is worthy of praise.
In the end, she did not hesitate to leave in her own way in order to perfect the one she loved. It was not until her later death that this misunderstanding was resolved, and the yin and yang separation between her and the hero has become mutual regret forever.
From the profession itself,It is difficult for her to get the respect and appreciation of the world, but her series of performances after encountering love are enough to prove to us how noble and holy her soul is. This is also the reason why the hero Armand never forgets her.
Strictly speaking, Armand fell in love with Marguerite at first sight. From the first time he saw her, his heart was no longer peaceful, and he wanted to be with her. But unlike other suitors, he was not simply attracted by her beauty, but really emotional.
His series of mental journeys tell us: When a man is enamored with a woman, there will be an obvious sign, be careful. This is reflected in the novel more than once.
1: When I first met, I was shocked, careful and cautious
Armand first saw Marguerite on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, when she got off the carriage, Armand just He glanced from a distance and was instantly moved. He sighed in his heart: How could there be such a beautiful girl in the world.
Since then, he has been reluctant to leave, and tried to meet her again, even if he knew her career, he still didn't shrink back, because he felt that she was different from other women.
Because Marguerite is in the upper class and is among the rich, it is difficult for Armand to have the opportunity to contact her, so for a year or two, he has been paying attention to her silently, in his own way Love her.
The author Alexandre Dumas portrayed Armand’s thoughts very delicately. He wrote: "Through the window, I watched her shopping in the store. I could go in, but I didn’t dare. I don’t know this. Who is the woman, I’m afraid she guessed the purpose of my entering this store.”
From this detailed description, we can see that the sign of affection for a person is often not boldness and bravery, but caution and caution. The more you love, the more cautious, because you care about the other person's thoughts more than you care about yourself.
Two: I strengthened my heart by meeting again,Hope to know each other slowly
In the fast-food era, we even pursue speed in love. If we have a good impression of someone, we can’t wait to tell him on the spot, if he accepts it, he will be together, if he doesn’t accept it, he will give up and turn around to pursue another A person.
We all pursue efficiency so much that we lack so much sincerity. In fact, if you really love someone, you won’t think about speed and efficiency, because you want to slowly understand him and love him in your own way Until he found out.
Armand was like that. He could have met Marguerite through a friend's introduction, but he didn't want to be so fast, because he didn't want to be Marguerite's passerby. After all, she had met so many people in a flash. Just forgot.
But Armand treats her differently from other men, he hopes he is special in her heart.
There is also a psychological description here, Armand thought: "I would rather suffer and suffer for this woman. I am worried that she will accept my courtship too quickly and fall in love with me too quickly. I would rather go through a long period of time. Wait and make a huge sacrifice to get her love."
For Armand, he wants to pursue a long-lasting love. She hopes that Marguerite will fall in love with the real him and that they understand each other. Waiting is also willing, he just hopes to take his time.
3: A sign that a man loves a woman deeply is to take responsibility
When Marguerite accepted Armand clearly told him that she might not cut off her previous life, Armand promised , But I still mind. He hopes to be the only one, hopes to cut off relations with other men, hopes that he can afford her high consumption and luxurious life.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to transfer the inheritance left by his mother to her, and because of this, his father knew their relationship and went to Paris from his hometown.
Marguerite knew that she could not look back, and had to quit for Armand’s future, which caused almost devastating damage to Armand.He misunderstood her because of this, and didn't know the truth of the matter until she died.
This novel is not only about love. From the first encounter between Armand and Marguerite, a beautiful picture scroll is slowly unfolded. They love each other deeply, and they constantly compromise and sacrifice for each other. There are various signs that love deep down is often perfect.
At the same time, Armand tells us that true love does not pursue speed. Although it is eager to be with the other party, it will keep the inner rhythm and prove its sincerity to the other party through actual actions instead of rushing into her. The world bored her.
The sign of a man's passion for a woman is not to be together quickly, but to be cautious. This is an attitude and a true proof, because you know that what you care about is not a moment, but a long life.
Living in a fast-paced contemporary era, we pay attention to efficiency in everything we do. We don’t know that the fastest thing in the world is love. Only by loving slowly and walking slowly can we understand that the best state of love is the long flow of water.
