The dark side of human nature

Tom ends up saying, "I'll never get out right, I'll be stuck in a dark basement forever?" Maggie says, "I don't think Tom Ripley will ever get into trouble" Peter says: " Tom Ripley can never be insignificant" Yes, Tom Ripley's purpose in life has been achieved. He got a great fortune, slept with Peter, played Gredio's mate in front of people, and no one knew what the truth was. The truth is forever locked in the dark basement, rotting and stinking like the corpses of Dick and Freddy. Sadly, Tom didn't have time to turn around, and the basement door was locked. He was going to spend his whole life with two dead bodies and the truth in a basement that never saw light.

In this world, everyone has a Ripley hidden in their hearts, and some people are Ripley themselves. We are ordinary in appearance, ordinary in life, simple in work, and boring in life. When we see people around us like Dick, handsome and handsome, with rich families and rich and colorful love lives, the seeds are planted in our hearts, and we are jealous that he can spend money like flowing water, Tired of him being capricious, you say that you hate him for not being able to be loyal for even five seconds, but everyone knows that you just hate yourself for not being as suave as him. Tom said he loved Maggie, only he knew, he didn't love Maggie at all, he only loved himself. All he wanted was fame, a big man, not an insignificant person.

Mean is the pass of the mean, as Maggie said: "Tom Ripley is never in trouble". It's just that when he turned around, he would find that he was standing in the dark shadow and gently locked the basement door.
