After reading crying like a dog... Erotic literature during the French Revolution is indeed very interesting. There are many erotic novels about priests and nuns, and there are not a few people who talk about philosophy and pornography. At that time, many writers wrote current affairs and pornography, which made those novels circulated in the public. In addition to the common people, the infiltration of the nobles should not be underestimated. It should be said that the nobles also had a great impetus for social changes at that time, not just the activities of the common people. . In the play, Simon puts pornography in a serious bookcase to disguise it. This was also very common in France at the time. People circulated books with sensitive topics such as pornography in private, traded them under wide robes, and even customized leather covers for books~
The Marquis in the play is my favorite character. I have seen the deepest darkness. He also wants to give a little light to the troubled world, and he did not accept God until he died. This is in sharp contrast to the behavior of the priest. The priest is tossed between the devil and the gods in his heart. I think he also sees the hopelessness of this world, but still wants to save more people from the cracks. Both the priest and the marquis have kindness in their hearts. One uses quill and ink to criticize, ridicule, and flog people's numb hearts. One has a three-inch living place that spreads kindness and compromises rights only for others.
This reminds me of Lu Xun's abandonment of medicine and writing, the doctor's hand saves one terminally ill body after another, and the writer's pen is also a blow to the hearts of thousands of people.
Many people say that this ending is too depressing, the good people are all dead, and the bad people are still alive. In fact, good people must have sins, and when people become bad people, there must be causes and consequences. I have always believed that when people hurt others, they will never be happy. Humans are the spirit of all things, and those villains in the play who have not yet ushered in the end may suffer even greater hardships in the future.
