I don't know what was the original intention of the ambitious artillery lieutenant Laclo to concoct "Dangerous Relationships", but interpreting it from a modern perspective can not only read out: Violating the rules of the game, the principle that if you move your true feelings will be fatal, there are more important things. A clue - a woman's jealousy is deadly, it is a snake that gets into the heart, spit out venom, and is bound to die together.
All the crimes stemmed from Madame Merteuil's unwillingness to be the victim of her former lover, Count Silcourt. Mrs. May is like a queen bee, and she absolutely cannot tolerate losing her mastery over others. How can a man dump her for another woman! So she provoked her old lover, Viscount Valmont, to seduce Cecil, the fiancée of Count Sircourt. When I heard that Valmont was planning to attack Madame Du Wei, a model of virtue The behavior was covered with a fig leaf, it was very exciting, and immediately got up again and encouraged Valmont. To destroy a virgin's chastity and destroy a virtuous woman's reputation is more fulfilling than taking control of the fate of others!
This fantasy of a mother-in-law world was shattered because Valmont gradually fell in love with Madame Du. At the beginning, Valmont did not realize his own qualitative change. He only felt that it was difficult to forget the impression left by Mrs. Du in his heart. He tried to relive the old dream with Mrs. Mei to eliminate this impression, which made Mei jealous. Although Valmont denies that she is in love with Du, May sees it clearly. May's jealousy is not out of the need to monopolize Valmont, but because Valmont sees May as a second-class woman because of the birth of love, as a woman who only solves her lust. The position of hunter and prey was subverted, but the opponent she despised made her assistant change his mind, and in turn aimed the muzzle at her, which was the source of Mei-style jealousy. Therefore, when Valmont did not recover, May used Valmont's hand to give Du a fatal blow, causing Du to die in despair. In May's principles, no woman can be more important than her, and she will destroy Du at the cost of turning against Valmont. In a series of chain reactions, not only Du but also Valmont and May themselves are destroyed.
This is a gamble with no winners. In the beginning, the bet was just to play with the conceit of others, but in the end, the bet was life. At present, Mrs. May can be regarded as a leading figure in feminism, emphasizing that women seek their own pleasure by themselves, and seek absolute control in the world of men. In the game of love, she just lets out the person who threatens her status as a social queen. If she uses her fists in the political arena, what kind of situation will she break out of!
