How many moments do a person have in his life who will be completely desperate? How many opportunities can we regain our rebirth? The short story master Maupassant 's long debut " Lifetime " is also very exciting. In "Life", we can see that the life of a noble girl who is too simple and ignorant of the world is gradually destroyed. Who is the fault of?
The title of "A Life" is meaningless. Life seems to be very long, but in fact, the most decisive ones are those special nodes. The beginning of this book is when Yona first met viscount Julian. Her past was a noble girl who was favored by her parents. There was nothing to mention, just a piece of white paper. When she met a viscount of similar age and not ugly, she felt her heart moved. She thought this was love. Although she had doubts, no one told her what true love was like, how husband and wife should get along with each other, and what other men were like. She also entered the marriage hall for the first time on a blind date.
Marriage life occupies most of the writing in "Life". The husband's indifference, stinginess, weakness and greed after marriage all make Yona repeatedly disappointed and sad, but who can I tell you about the depression in my heart? It was not until she found out that her husband cheated on her handmaid that Yona finally fell to the bottom. However, Yona's father was originally romantic when he was young, and Yona's mother only wanted to follow her previous experience and emphasize tolerance for the sake of family face. At this moment, Yona also found out that she was pregnant. Although the couple looked apart, they still lived in the same house. Yona, who was completely desperate for her husband, also poured all her love and emotions into her son, which was also the real beginning of the tragedy.
When Yona's husband and his mistress, the Countess, were moved by the Count with a rope while riding in a carriage, they both fell to their deaths. After the son grew up, the pace of the story began to speed up, and the bricks and stones that were slowly paved in front collapsed directly as his son became an adult. As Yona, she felt that she had no choice, and repeatedly transferred money to her son, selling the savings of several generations of the family, helping him repay his gambling debts, and raising a prostitute, hoping that one day he could change his mind and return to his side. Yona has not received too much guidance from her parents since she was young, and she could not give correct guidance to her children. At that time, the theory that wealth is not as good as three generations seems to be easy to be established. Since childhood, she has no worries about food and clothing and is not aware of the sufferings of the world, so she is easily defeated by any difficulty in life. Yona had several opportunities to start her life again, but she did not find any useful opinions in priest and her parents, she did not have the help of her friends, and she did not have the ability to awaken herself and break through the shackles. In the end, it was the servant girl who was driven away before who helped her. Her parents spoiled her, married a scumbag, and her son was promiscuous, and she was incompetent. This may be a portrayal of Yona's life.
Finally Yona's self-comfort, "Look, life is never as good as expected, nor as bad as expected." It seems to be the summary of "A Life", but from the perspective of readers, she is the one that has gone to the wrong way in her life, and she should have been the descendant of the noble who won at the starting line.
