I just want to bring out the conflicting relationship between these two people and talk about it.
As for whether S loves T or not, I can't really say. I'm just inclined, and I hope she loves T.
Sylvia is so wild and sexy, she can be called a peerless beauty, and she can easily capture those so-called "upper gentlemen" in London between her eyebrows and eyes. Of course, in her mouth, they are just flirting The object of this, and even said in person the "school boy" that every man does not want to hear. She is so charming, and with Drake's child, she is still married to what people call "the man with the smart mouth" and "the genius" Tietjens - in her heart "an old-fashioned wood", also, " a mature man".
Yes, this may be the highest evaluation she can give a man. Of course, apparently, she herself didn't seem to realize it.
It's not that Tietjens doesn't know the tongues outside and the disputes at home. But how can a traditional monogamous adherent, a typical British classical gentleman who is completely loyal to marriage, abandon his wife and divorce her? Although, she is so vulgar, cranky, and slutty. He was always so thoughtful, forbearing and tolerant, and treated the child she gave birth to as his own.
It's really a weird combination, right? What strokes should I use to describe? Tietjens is so good, such a perfect mature man, so steady, gentle, and thoughtful, why should he be responsible for an affair on the train, so that the whole family is ashamed of this "slut"? From the standpoint of Tietjens, almost everyone can say unequivocally that he doesn't love Sylvia at all, all his dedication and patience are just out of his unconditional faith in marriage, and he is unconditionally responsible to his wife to the end. Yes, that is grace, noble character, and unfinished responsibility, but it has nothing to do with love. But what about Sylvia's point of view? She said outrageously that she would be tortured by Tietjens with that "good temper" for the rest of her life, and at the same time torture Tietjens. We can say that there is no love between them at all, she is just that kind of dissolute character who likes to torture men; we can say that she is just like all women, she can't stand her husband not loving her, this is not necessarily How much she loves each other, but she just wants to get noticed and use her goddamn control to get her husband to submit; of course we have the best, oh no, and possibly the worst, she loves him, but is A love that never gets answered. A bitch falls in love with a gentleman, what will happen? Unfortunately, this is not Tolstoy's "Resurrection", there is no involuntary prostitute with a pure and immaculate soul, only a grumpy Sylvia. She tries everything she can to provoke Tietjens, from throwing dishes to rude words, from dating someone to eloping, to "shake him" in every way she can to satisfy her own desires. However, Tietjens is always so silent, his silence and patience drive Sylvia crazy! She can't take it! I can't stand that my husband has no interest in me! Even in the face of his graceful body, Tietjens just turned his head away in panic, knowing that they have been married for many years. Perhaps Tietjens knew that the body was too beautiful, and his tired sense of responsibility no longer wanted to go to the fire, so he simply restrained and didn't look at it, so he didn't need to defile his soul. As a result, we can all guess, how will Sylvia endure? She doesn't understand patience at all! She hated, hated his goddamn maturity, hated her love for his goddamn maturity, and his gentlemanly demeanor and steady thinking was the type she couldn't control.
You see, it's such a contradiction. Such a man she kind of fell in love with, and somehow attracted her while irritating her; such a man who was always submissive and accommodating to her, but would never bow down to her in love anyway.
Before Sylvia went to the monastery, her best friend came to pack things with her. The words she confided inadvertently, with unwillingness and gnashing love and hatred, said the phrase "maybe someday having one winsky" in a relaxed tone or two, he will want something from me", she was still thinking about it without knowing it, and her best friend laughed and exclaimed "why, you are soppy about him!" and then woke her up, with a little unnatural panic. I thought maybe she felt like she was playing a trick on Tietjens, but she was surprised by her own words in a trance. I think she was expecting too, expecting Tietjens to really embrace her, kiss her, like all her lovers do, even to satisfy her desires. However, after all, just thinking about it, this is an unchangeable world.
How many lovers are crazy for her, but she is destined not to have love.
Written on the back: I know very well that even if Tietjens really fell in love with her, so hopelessly in love that they would give up everything for her, they were destined to never have love. Sylvia is so slutty, the reason she makes us feel like she loves Tietjens a little bit is because Tietjens doesn't love him, and if he does, then he's just one of those "school boys" that can't be more ordinary cannon fodder, How could she throw the plate and curse for him. For the little boys, she never said a word of love with a gun to the back of her head. So I continued to be unable to bear the constraints of marriage, and continued to float in the world, seemingly free and easy to cycle again.
Maybe you would say, wouldn't it be bad if they were really in love? Might Sylvia change herself for Tietjens? Isn't that what true love is? Willing to change for each other. But if so, is the story still "Parade's End"? Outline a whole new story, so the protagonists don't have to be Sylvia and Tietjens!
So in the context of that era, the story of the two protagonists will finally begin like this.
Writing here, I suddenly feel that this woman is really strong. Really, so sad.
The soul has been corroded, so it is doomed not to see the light of happiness.
All I can say is that your life is the life you choose.
You choose it, that it is.
