Secrets


Because the values ​​of human nature make us feel ashamed, so we all have secrets.


Hannah's shame about her illiteracy has become the secret of her life.

Her illiteracy makes her have the serious and strong personality of the national nature and lacks humanity. Compassion and gentleness of humanity

caused her tragedy in the first half of her life.

Misha's thinking about human nature and her travels in concentration camps made him feel disgusted with the Nazis and thus evaded the love of the year. A woman of color is ashamed of falling in love---a love that can no longer be faced.

And when I heard something that Hannah used to read aloud in the concentration camp, I had doubts and disgust about the love in my heart.

This kind of escaping, disgusting, doubting, and disgusting Hannah. The respect of Na's decision made him give up the chance to clear Hannah's innocence------- and this behavior also prevented him from being honest with himself

because these evasions, disgust and doubts did not come from the past. Love, but Misha betrayed love because of these. It can be seen from the tape that she never left a message but simply read it aloud. - Misha still loves Hannah. Hannah does what she likes; but he doesn't want to face this love again, he is full of contradictions and shame about it - he turns it into a one-way love The continuation of a love that refuses to respond is also a redemption from betrayal that we dare not face,

and this continued love and avoidance of this love and the redemption of this love are also Became a shame to himself—became his secret—became the mortal wound

he could never be honest about. He had loved Hannah all his life; After he once thought pure and practical but led to the contradictory love of his life, Misha has been unable to achieve sincere love for the human nature full of secrets.

When Hannah was about to get out of jail

She feels that the prison has made her redeem herself for the crimes she committed because of the Nazis; and the study through Misha's recordings in prison has also freed her from the shame of illiteracy. The secret has been known, but it is only limited to the one person she loves ------ she no longer bears the guilt brought about by this secret,

she feels that she can start a kind of life like a normal person. In the new life, she can face the world candidly,

but the dialogue with Misha made her realize that the person in the world who should be able to face her frankly cannot be frank with her------- -----When she got rid of the past and looked into the future, he was asking her if she had repented of her sins-----she felt that she could have an equal dialogue (no longer illiterate), and the sins also Redemption in prison, so after receiving no response from love, it is no longer important to speak out the past strong - because now she is a brand new self, she does not need to face the shame full of herself The secret past self

is a secret for the new girl, a secret she can't face ashamed - because she was illiterate in the past - after reflecting on the sins of the Nazis - -The past is also an insult to her dignity.

She is now escaping her past self as she used to escape the secret of illiteracy,

but Misha's questioning made her discover that the past is always her back in the eyes of others.



Misha arranged for Hannah after she was released from prison. is a continuation of his love for Hannah; but when he confronts Hannah, he needs Hannah to rescue him from this avoidance of love, he needs Hannah to prove that his once betrayal has been redeemed , his love is no longer ashamed ----- he needs Hannah's confession to liberate the secrets he has carried over the years

and Hannah's answer is Let him not get the chance to be honest, in



love but not in the face

We all defend our secrets. We all run away from our secrets, we all want to free our secrets, we are all imprisoned by our secrets. . . . . . .

We have secrets because we are not honest enough, we are not honest because we are not brave enough, we are not brave enough because we are ignorant. . . . . . .

We are all more ignorant than we think. . . . . . . . . . . .







Regarding historical reflection

------------Whether the group blindness in human nature should be the responsibility that each individual in the group cannot escape

---------------This is a debate The focus, but it seems that Mi has the answer.

In those darkest times, if it is not dark enough, it will only end like Qu Yuan, but if everyone does Qu Yuan, then the loss of mankind may be greater than the loss caused by the darkest time in history. Big, then how many Qu Yuan should be, and who will be Qu Yuan. . . . . I don't think this kind of problem is computable in a group setting. . . . .

What we want to prevent is blind movement. . . . A voice is serious and efficient but dangerous. . . . . It seems to have a hazy taste for democracy. . . .

The Reader quotes

  • Rose Mather: People ask all the time what I learned in the camps. But the camps weren't therapy. What do you think these places were? Universities? We didn't go there to learn. One becomes very clear about these things. What are you asking for? Forgiveness for her? Or do you just want to feel better yourself? My advice, go to the theatre, if you want catharsis. Please. Go to literature. Don't go to the camps. Nothing comes out of the camps. Nothing.

  • Professor Rohl: Societies think they operate by something called morality, but they don't. They operate by something called law.

    Professor Rohl: 8000 people worked at Auschwitz. Precisely 19 have been convicted, and only 6 of murder.

    Professor Rohl: The question is never "Was it wrong", but "Was it legal". And not by our laws, no. By the laws at the time.
