On New Year's Day in 1922, Zweig published "A Letter from a Strange Woman" in Vienna's "New Freedom", and countless spare tires and licking dogs shed tears:
He felt death, and immortal love: a thousand sorrows flooded his heart for a while, he vaguely remembered the invisible woman, she was floating, but passionate and unrestrained, like music from afar.
Now I feel that Zweig's "The Story of Chess", "24 Hours of a Woman's Life", and "The Sin of Sympathy" are well written, while "A Letter from a Stranger Woman" can be described as the ultimate in dog licking: no name is required. And return, lick humble, enthusiastic, and deep: a breath is still alive, for the rest of the sixth life, let me lick you one last time!
Men, of course, are a warm welcome. They can enjoy great and immortal love without taking any responsibilities, while being sentimental and nostalgic, while marveling at their incredible charm, and happily throwing themselves into the next affair.
Well, give me a dozen licking dogs first.
Freud has a profound analysis of the writer’s daydream:
Through this unharmed, heroic immortality, we seem to be able to immediately recognize that the protagonist in every daydream and every novel is exactly the same as a self-respecting self. These self-centered novels also show similarities in other aspects. All the women in the novel always fall in love with the male protagonist...
The love expressed in many literary works such as "Letter from a Strange Woman" and Jin Yong's novels is purely a writer's pipe dream.
In the so-called daydream, there is no criticism of selfishness and abusive emotions. Only women see the male protagonist with hot eyes, weak legs, increased heartbeat, willingness to sacrifice everything, and resolutely kneeling to the end. The male protagonist is the projection of the writer's inner desires.
When Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" came out, Li was shocked:
You have to lick it when you die. Really lick.
The lick was horrifying, weird, cruel, and pleasant: I have no taxes in Jefferson; I can't get things that no one can expect.
This Gothic licking method is paranoid and weird, but it embodies Emily's strong personal will. It is not the same as a strange woman who is dying in the dust and still kneels and licks.
Dog licking is a disease that can be explained by Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance (the cognitive components of a person's attitude and behavior are contradictory).
A doomsday sect in the United States conveys the will of God to believers. The flood on December 25, 1955 will destroy the world, and flying saucers will come to save them. After prophesying bankruptcy, believers who changed their property and suffered heavy losses not only did not wake up, but strengthened their beliefs. The sect congratulated them: your dedication and piety moved the world. God changed the plan and saved the world.
It’s hard to believe that facts that contradict beliefs will further strengthen the faith of fanatics: believers have to rack their brains to alleviate the tension, frustration, and sense of failure caused by cognitive dissonance (the end of the world is not here, and there is no flying saucer). Prove the rationality of their resignation, donating family property, etc., fill the gap between belief and reality, and achieve cognitive coordination.
More than 2,000 studies have confirmed one of the most important findings in social psychology: behavior can change attitudes, you will believe when you say it, you will recognize it when you do it, you will appreciate it when you choose, the more you give, the more you like it, the more you care .
In addition to daydreaming, the strange woman in Zweig’s works also has a lot to do with cognitive dissonance: to prove that the previous kneeling licking is correct, I desperately increase investment, modify licking skills, move myself, and deify myself, making myself absurd. And pay to find reasonableness, and ultimately harm yourself and others (children).
Among the many adaptations of "A Letter from a Strange Woman", the film of the same name starring Joan Fontaine in 1948 has the most influence:
Joan Fontaine is still so beautiful, and the male protagonist's appearance is also very convincing:
However, a disease is a disease, and it must be cured!
Women should be independent, capitalized people who have their own desires and pursuits, not just props or symbols to set off the charm of men.
Sister Lin and Qingwen of Dream of Red Mansions, Carmen of Mei Limei, Mayumi of "The Hunt", and Chen Qingyang of Wang Xiaobo are so different in times and regions, only one thing is so similar:
Dare to love and hate, all over the country
