The essence of love is that two people who appreciate each other come together, respect and understand each other, and will not be affected by other factors. However, in today's era of rampant desires, it is hard to help but wonder whether there is still true love.

The essence of love is that two people who appreciate each other come together, respect and understand each other, and will not be affected by other factors. If love is mixed with something else, then love will no longer remain pure. However, in today's era of rampant desires, it is hard to help but wonder whether there is still true love.

Saul Bellow 's " More People Die in Heartbreak " tells the story of the botanist Bain being hit in the vortex of love. He yearns for beautiful love while escaping from calculating love.

The author of this book tells from a first-person perspective that he and his uncle Bain cannot find the direction in the maze of love. He stumbling like a blind man touching an elephant, and he can't see the essence of love in this era clearly.

Uncle Bain is a very famous botanist. He has always longed for love, hoped to have a beautiful love and live a happy and stable life. However, what he waited for was approaching with desires, forcing him to escape again and again, and escape to the plants he was good at to find peace and gain temporary stability.

Bain is an expert and big shot in the field of botany; in love, Bain is like a low-powered and fool.

Bain's first escape came from his female neighbor Dela Bidell. What he escaped was pure carnality. Diela Biddle, who was divorced at 10 o'clock in the evening, said that the lights in the kitchen at home were no longer on and needed a man to exchange them as an excuse, called Bain to her home, and went to bed.

But Bain felt embarrassed because he and she had no common language, but just a temporary carnal relationship. They were embarrassed about slavery and freedom while having sex.

The author said in a bystander's tone: "The solid surface presented by Bain to the world has been thundered in all directions by desire, desire, loud demand and hunger. And Dela Biddle's heart is filled with thunder, reaching a very dangerous level."

It can be imagined that when Bain faces Dela Biddle's step towards approaching Dela Biddle, it will feel stressed. At the surface of the double fortress of his age and his own identity, facing the impact of worldly desires such as desire, desire and hunger, these desires are like thunder filled with gunpowder, which is very dangerous in itself. When Dela Biddle "crashed" Bain with his body full of lust and fiery heart, he must have been a big alarm in his heart. He realized in fear that if the two collided, the power of " nuclear explosion " might be produced, and he might be blown to pieces and bones are gone, and Dela would definitely not be spared from becoming a victim of lust.

However, as a decent person with status, he cannot directly inform the other party that he cannot accept purely carnal relationships. Telling the other party such a relationship is a dead end that is destined to have no way out.

We can throw away an apple after biting it. The reason is only a word that is not delicious. However, if you feel dissatisfied with a woman after tasting it, you cannot say directly, "You can't do it or you are not my dish, so you will undoubtedly be scolded as a scumbag." And how could a woman like Dela Biddle be able to pass a tactful refusal?

He weakly gave in, which would only make the other party approach step by step. Faced with Dela's crazy approaching, he became a coward and chose to escape. Because he did not prepare in advance, he could withdraw with politeness and principles.

and Dela died of cardiac arrest after he escaped, which made him feel guilty, but at the same time made him realize that more people died of heartbreak than nuclear radiation .

Bain's second escape came from Caroline, She is beautiful, rich, and artificial, a person who belongs to the center of the stage.

There is a type of people who never know what they really need and live in empty and illusory illusions every day.They don’t have many dreams, but they especially like to package themselves. They package themselves into a shiny look every day. Some people pretend to be rich, some people pretend to be scholars, and some people pretend to be widespread. When they come into contact with them, those words that gush out will make people feel a little illusion.

However, the wrapped shell cannot be wrapped all the time, and it will reveal its legs over time. Just like Caroline, Bain felt that her heavy makeup was a burden.

But humans are just a strange animal, and not everything can be written in black and white. What attracted Bain was the challenge-like alienation. Her words were not expressive and insincerely became her best weapon at that time.

In fact, what Bain wanted to look for was a suitable, beautiful, mature and able to talk to. Caroline was the right time at that time. Her appearance and her disguise successfully attracted Bain's attention, and thus successfully attracted Bain who was eager to find a close friend who understood him.

Couples really need to be a good match. There is a saying in our hometown called "a piece of steamed bun and a piece of cake", which means that you will match the kind of person you are. But what I am talking about here does not refer to money, but to the soul. Obviously, Bain and Caroline's souls cannot communicate with each other.

The ups and downs of love make Bain a person who lacks self-confidence, so he thinks that women like Caroline who don’t know what he is doing should not be picky about him and a woman who is not very online may be suitable for him.

But he underestimated Caroline's madness, and she approached the man she chose step by step. " In order to be able to marry successfully, she bought herself a full set of equipment. "Her people" prepared the marriage certificate. She told Bain about her flight number and arrival time. She made the whole plan - she had the enthusiasm to make plans. Hilton Hotel set a suite. There was no expression of love, and there was no word of intimacy to express her affection."

Bain hung up the direct call to Kyoto when he received Caroline's call and then drone her phone and then dialed the phone to ask for the code. The whole process of can be seen from the description that the speed is extremely fast, but this little time makes him feel like eternity.

Bain escaped again and became a cowardly person again.

Madman always belongs to the present, just like a snipe always runs in front of the foam line on the beach.

Bain is not a lunatic, he is an escapee!

The author said " If Dela Biddle was a big beauty, Bain was an insignificant person, and Caroline could be in a better state, Bain would not have escaped again and again." But in fact, Bain's third escape just shows that Bain's escape was not because of beauty or ugliness, not because of madness or not because of not being crazy, because of the woman he met for the third time - Matilda, this woman is very beautiful and very rational.

The third time Bain escaped was Matilda, who he called "the classical face of hyacinth".

In his nearly one year marriage with Matilda, Bain gradually became depressed and anxious from his previous joy, because he found that all his family needed was his identity as a botanist. They just wanted to use this identity to attract more celebrities and thus make friends with more celebrities.

Whether it is Matilda herself or her parents, they can only use Bain from beginning to end. They wanted to use his name to maximize their profits. In order to maximize this, Matilda's parents spent a lot of money to conduct various background checks on him. This investigation was to eliminate potential risks, and to explore his potential value.

The property dispute between Bain and his uncle made Matilda's father feel like a treasure. He wanted to take back the property that originally belonged to Bain. For this purpose, he did not hesitate to let the judge who made the unfair judgment at the time be witnesses for Bain and Matilda's wedding.

Bain said he gave up finding Jefferson Street from a high place and could only see the Zodiac Electronics Company. It is precisely because of this that Bain and his uncle went to court, and family affection was vulnerable to the desire for money and materiality. Bain felt that the electronics company skyscraper, originally located on the other side of the city center, was gradually approaching him, and a sense of suffocation from being oppressed by matter came to his face.

When Bain discovered that the azalea in Mrs. Lea Meng's room was a fake flower, he was completely disappointed because this pot was the only existence that could bring miracles to Bain, and it was also the bond that he could maintain intimacy with them. When he found that the pot of flowers was just like Matilda he thought at first, he felt ashamed. He realized that the luxurious bedding was incompatible with his life, and finally realized that he was ashamed to be with them and chose to escape again. No, this time it was more like exile to himself, because he ran to the Arctic.

However, the author said that he was not far enough!

After all, Bain escaped not from the marriage itself, but from the marriage entangled by desire. But he actually yearns for a clean and pure marriage, so he is deceived again and again.

So, Bain's sister said that he is like a hemophilia patient in love, he will bleed when touched, but he still has to shave with a razor in the dark.

Because of this, Bain prefers to stay with plants every time he is injured, because plants have no passion and will not make any demands on you. But human blood is full of yearning, and the red blood is self-centered, with terrible power, desire and improper impulse.

Deep in Bain's heart, he was afraid that he would become the same secular material as around him, and fear that he would be swept away by desire one day.

Spirit and material things do not coexist, but people's balances are usually seriously biased towards the material side, so that most of us live in spiritual slums and become spiritual homeless people and poor drunkards.

There are almost only two characters in this book, namely me and my uncle. I thought it would be monotonous and boring, but the author presents us with a lively love dojo in such a "simple" structure and "thrifty" material. Let us unconsciously understand why many people in this era would rather give up love and move forward alone.

In this era of material supremacy, we often regard massive fictional events as real, not knowing that these are just low-level and vulgar entertainment wearing masks. Just as Bain described Matilda as "the soft and classical face of hyacinth."

Entertainment to death
