Absurd or not

At first, I felt that the core of the story was too similar to "Double Indemnity", and I complained that the film was not selected well, which affected the reading experience. As a result, the line opened and reopened in an unexpected direction. Originally, I thought that Nick couldn't justify it without pitting them, but Nick was really a cannon fodder. I thought the story would turn to the prosecutor and the lawyer fighting each other's wits to fall in love and kill each other, but they somehow came to an agreement. By the way, wasn't manslaughter in your country not sentenced? Originally, I thought that Cora and Frank would design confrontational acting skills for each other in order to survive or premeditatedly, but they were both led by emotions—Frank was feared, Cora was angered. This is going to be invisible to ordinary people. Except for the last five minutes, I was sure that the two of them put down their suspicions, and there would be an accident after everyone was happy. At other times, I wondered if I had ordered the wrong movie. What does this have to do with the postman knocking on the door? It's just the end of the topic.

The only thing that fits my thinking is the plot of the two eloping for the first time: before the bright clothes become ragged, as long as she walks on the ground and gets some dust on her body, she will no longer trade comfort for love.

If Camus was inspired to write "The Outsider" after watching "The Postman Always Knocks Twice", I would absolutely believe it. Swimming in the sea to finalize mutual trust is indeed romantic. Before that, where did people not doubt human nature? Frank's steadfast reluctance to be sentenced for the murder of Cora at the end shows that there is love between them -- a beautiful human feeling. It makes sense for sensitive writers to associate this story with the absurdity of life, and finally conclude a new meaning.
