In the film, you can see that the author unabashedly satirizes the ugliness of medieval religion. The most direct one is the terrifyingly ugly believers who are sympathetic but cowardly, blind, and irrational. A church ruler with analytical ability, a higher ruler who judges cases by imagining and destroys humanity, and a cataract elder who is blinded by power. With these people ruling books, knowledge can only go to extinction. However, as for our uncle, the protagonist, he is actually very confused. This stems from his thinking and his observation based on real objects, which shows that he is no longer a complete idealist (religious), he is deeply Love Aristotle, he loves truth deeply, and the plot also subtly illustrates the protagonist's observational power through "the location of the toilet" at the beginning, but his observational power is so different because people of that era have already It is accustomed to attribute unexplainable phenomena to an invisible God, God is unhappy or God is constipated; not accustomed to thinking based on objective rationality. Perhaps the reason why the protagonist believes in religion is precisely because of the pursuit of truth, but the truth he investigates instead proves the contradiction between religion and truth, that is, religion uses the ignorance of the people and wants to create the ignorance of the people, so the elders cannot let the people know "laugh" It is proven that it can exist, so he does not allow believers to be happy, because happiness can dissolve fear, and without fear of the unknown, it is difficult for these people to be ruled. So knowledge must be put on the shelf, out of reach, or destroyed.
When people are "believed" in a certain truth, in the process of consolidating it, they even develop traits that are contrary to human nature, so there are many dogmas and many things that cannot be done. Because of his age, the little boy has not been deeply influenced by religion, so he can be said to have the same courageous attitude of "I love my teacher, I love the truth" as his master and had two very wonderful dialectics with his master. One is around what love is and why the love he experiences is different from the love defined in religion; the other is that he directly accuses the master of being indifferent to human life and the indifference of religion. His existence seems to imply that enlightenment is coming, to feel the true feelings of oneself and one's heart, because it is inherent as a human being. It's just that victory is a matter of later, just like that fire, few were spared, and many more have died.
In the end, the author also unabashedly expressed his love for knowledge, even if they lost their lives, they should save them from perishing. Only knowledge can solve the fear in everyone's heart, bring the strength to face survival, love bravely, laugh bravely, and live bravely. But at the same time, this kind of behavior is endowed with great sadness, because he can't control the raging tide, and can only watch most of the knowledge disappear, and his heart hurts.
ps lamented a great benefit brought by the digital information age. After the book is electronic, it will be difficult to destroy him.
