The root of the male protagonist’s joyful death worship ritual is probably that his growing up in a wealthy and powerful family and attending a boarding school gave him a loneliness and love-less psychology and a tendency to overflowing curiosity, not so much. Yu Zhonger's ignorance feels that death is cool and interesting. It is a disease of wealth and wealth. It is better to say that he has a natural instinct for the cruel truth of "life is nothingness", and it becomes more and more out of control under the strengthening of the acquired indifference and stereotyped environment. From the beginning, he wanted to know how others would react to his own death, and he wanted to feel that he was loved and valuable from the grief of others, and then he became a habit, hiding in false deaths and escaping from life in this world. The emptiness of suffering, and the endless drama of death is an imitation and joking of meaningless life in the world, and it is also a passive resistance to the luxurious and decadent aristocratic life.

Maude made him realize that the meaning of life is to be created by people. She sees and treats life from a perspective full of vitality, so she is neither afraid of life nor death; neither is obsessed with death nor obsessed with death. eternal life. What she worships is the will to generate a changing world that lasts forever, and the demise of individual phenomena does not harm the abundant world beings. There was a passage when the male lead asked her if she was praying. She said that she was "communication", and the male lead asked "to God?" She replied, "No, to life." This kind of devotion to life, not to God, cannot be denied. People think of Nietzsche. There is also the value of "aim above morality" practiced by Maude. It is also full of Nietzsche's taste. It is worthy of being an expert in the folk~ The

teenager finally felt the shortness and preciousness of life from the death of the grandmother, and he would inherit her will to live. —— As sung in a song, "I have drunk your wine, you have made your work mine." In the days to come, if Harold spends
every day freely like Maude , Harold and Maude will always be there Together.

Harold and Maude quotes

  • Uncle Victor: Let's examine the facts on it. I say this country has been too harsh on its outright condemnation of war. I say you can point to the many material advantages brought about by a crisis and conflict policy. Why, Hell, World War II gave us the ballpoint pen!

  • Harold: I had the most wonderful day today - and - you're very beautiful.

    Maude: Oh, Harold - you make me feel like a schoolgirl.
