One of the six moral stories of YSS RECOMMEND . To further explain Rohmer's understanding of morality: women are the embodiment of temptation, and men should be baptized spiritually by resisting temptation.
Poor Jerome, fourfold temptation in this story, unseen fiancée, female writer, sister Laura and sister Claire. The temptation of these four levels is progressive, and the fiancee has already been obtained, and Jerome is too lazy to even think about the beauty and beauty; in the old years, I knew that she was a single woman with still charm, and letting him be frivolous and provocative is plausible rather than desirable; The plain-looking little girl is in estrus, and through the argument that her parents are divorced, she says she has an Electra complex, and the game that is brought to her mouth smells too much and wants to taste it; the last appearance is the heavyweight bomb, the same as Lolita. Blonde girl in bloom, smart and innocent like a deer, a natural high-quality prey.
In each level, the hero who does everything he can to act as a moral shield under the banner of providing writing inspiration for the writer’s girlfriend can be considered to be able to cope with all kinds of emotional changes. Honestly went to get married, but still unknowingly resigned to the dispatch of desire, and became a prisoner of Claire's lust. But Jerome, a diplomat, is a civilized man accustomed to moral restraints. His desire for a beautiful youth, because of moral restraint, has turned into a strange fetish that he did not expect: the desire for Claire's knee. This is exactly the same as the fascination with women's small feet in the Ming and Qing Dynasties of China. Sexual desire and erotic desire will not disappear under the circumstance of being suppressed by the outside world. They will only change paths and choose other paths, becoming deformed desires, completely unaware of the ridiculousness of their own desires. and absurd.
Rohmer is a master at observing human nature, and he silently ridiculed the moral system of human society. I am afraid that in his view, people are originally animals of desire, but they have to put on the crown of morality to be arrogant and ridiculous.
