A traditional conservative boarding school in England in 1930, the story of Miss G, a teacher in a diving team, and her girls, and a transfer student from Spain, Fiamma. The characters of each character are portrayed, but the most prominent ones are probably Miss G, the diving team captain Di and Fiamma.
As an ordinary audience, Miss G will be amazed when she sees Miss G for the first time. Regardless of her flamboyant dress, it does not match the school spirit of her school. Her open mind and education method make people feel that she is a thoughtful, rebellious spirit of the times and An adventurous person, and she is obviously admired by these girls, especially the captain Di, and she also likes Di, borrowing forbidden books to read to her, and Di's understanding of desire makes her very satisfied. Di is probably secretly arrogant, she regards Miss G's way of thinking and behavior as a kind of belief, and implements it (she steals milk to make butter and secretly loves the gardener's son), she probably thinks that she is the most worthy of like-minded Miss G. It can be said that these girls have a kind of idol worship to Miss G, and this situation has changed after the transfer student Fiamma came. "Fiamma sets a new standard!" It's a bit of a pun, and you'll notice it when you read it. Miss G, who has always been regarded as an object of worship, began to curry favor with Fiamma, and Di was very contemptuous of this. She thought that Fiamma's aristocratic status was the reason. And Fiamma doesn't fit in, maybe she says she doesn't want to fit in, she doesn't think she'll stay long, she's cold, arrogant but beautiful. Di doesn't like this change of the situation, so she leads the girls (of whom she is the head and no one dares to resist her) to do something to Fiamma to express their anger. However, what Di and the girls are doing at this time is actually childish! It's not as easy as they think!
Miss G is the embroidered pillow, her glossy shell is gradually falling off, after Fiamma comes. Fiamma is truly knowledgeable, rebellious and adventurous, someone who dares to break the rules, and Miss G realizes and has a crush on Fiamma. If Miss G is really what we saw at the beginning, maybe she and Fiamma can really be friends. However, she is not! When Miss G told her real trip to West Africa, Fiamma knew what she was about and started to despise her, maybe not if she hadn't discovered that Miss G was hiding a postcard from her little lover. However, Fiamma realizes that Miss G will not be her friend, and she exposes Miss G's lies on the spot, which, although ineffective, makes Miss G uneasy. Later, there are some details that illustrate the truth about Miss G. 1. The principal pointed to her and said, "After all, you have been here for so many years." 2. She panicked when she went to the city to buy things 3. She stood on the dock and said to herself: "I don't like open spaces waters". 4. She never pits the diving team against other school teams. Maybe it's a detail that she eats Fiamma's shortbread by herself, she doesn't want to appear knowledgeable, but it's the first time she eats it. Miss G is actually a person who is most bound by the traditional conservativeness of the school. She yearns for a real adventure, but she never takes action. She doesn't have the courage to really take the first step of travel. She is afraid of the outside world. , her circle is only in school, and even the adoration of the girls makes her feel safe and deceives herself. The state she showed in front of the girls was something she aspired to, but not something she had. And Fiamma really has it. So she just likes to long for that kind of thing in Fiamma, the kind of thing she doesn't really have. Fiamma is embarrassed by her rejection, but she seems more concerned with losing the adoration of her girls, which supports her disguise. In the end, she chose to maintain her disguise, and she chose to stifle the true adventurous spirit she longed for.
At the end of the story, the girls still saw through the true face of Miss G. Di, who felt the deepest feelings, chose to embark on her adventure with courage. She actually continued the spirit of Fiamma. In the end, Miss G just went to a place not far from the school and not close to the crowd to calm down, but she still counted whether there were more than five items on the bedside table (school rules). The waters set off.
Compared with Miss G's radiant radiance at the beginning, and the haggard and even terrifying face shown by her complicated mind after her disguise was exposed, it really makes people feel that beauty and ugliness, truth and disguise, are only a thin line. Miss G was right: "Don't think, do it!" She has desires, but she doesn't have the courage to implement them.
Hateful people must have something to hate.
