200 years ago, on December 2, 1814, a 74-year-old French fat man with white hair spent the last day of his life in Charenton Prison and died. This person is called Sade, and he is the spokesperson for the S in the SM (Sexual Sadism and Masochism) people talk about later. If there are still people who are not familiar with Sade, the movie "120 Days of Sodom" knows? This controversial work by Italian avant-garde director Pasolini was born out of Sa's novel "120 Days of Sodom or School of Indulgence". Sade's Europe was in the Age of Enlightenment, when people tried to liberate themselves from religion and turned to reason. But Sade pursues something more extreme than intellectual freedom. He is a descendant of an aristocrat of the French Bourbon Dynasty. Because of family pressure, instead of marrying the little girl next door he likes, he married the daughter of a court president. It is said that on the wedding day, the mother-in-law fell in love with her son-in-law, and the two even rented a house to live together. Then, Sade began a life of indulgence for half his life. In the process, he and his mother-in-law became enemies. The mother-in-law repeatedly urged Sade to go to jail and tried every means to prolong his sentence. The Marquis de Sade has had sex with many women and men, including his sister-in-law, famous actresses, prostitutes and his footman. He even gave several women an aphrodisiac—the famous Spanish fly water. In the process of promiscuity, Sade used a lot of sexual abuse methods. The father of the provoked girl once rushed to his house to shoot him, and Sade himself escaped, went to jail many times, and was even sentenced to death. . He was not caught the time he was sentenced to death, so people burned his portrait as a sign that he was burned at the stake. In the worst case, he was thrown into the Bastille. It is said that he shouted outside the prison, which led to the beginning of the famous French Revolution in history - the capture of the Bastille. Thaad's unrestrained, domineering, and violent sexual behavior was widely reviled, both then and now. But as an ultra-liberal, Sade was not satisfied with the body and it was over. He also began to think and write. In his novels and plays, Sade worked hard to discuss topics such as morality, religion, and hypocrisy. Show the side of a writer and philosopher. According to the constellation theory, Gemini is always fascinated by language, dialogue and debate, so Gu Long, a famous Taiwanese martial artist of Gemini, inserted a lot of sharp dialogues and aphorisms into his novels, and the French SM writer Marquis de Sade, who is also a Gemini, also In his novels, he wrote long paragraphs of controversy and commentary, this Sade-style gushing To chatter, whether eloquent or sophistry. It has benefited many later literati and thinkers, including Freud. Therefore, many avant-garde artists and poets worship Marquis de Sade. Sade's French compatriot, the famous feminist writer and thinker Simone. Beauvoir said in her own article "Will you burn Sade?" that Sade's behavior was not a simple personal behavior, but that he used this method to challenge the society. Sade's life is spent in two rhythms: one part is the challenge of indulgence and debauchery; the other part is desolation and captivity. In a total of 74 years of life, Sade spent nearly 28 years in almost all prisons in France due to "degeneration" and "abnormal mind", and in his later years in a mental hospital in Normandy. Lived for 13 years. Misbehaving and immoral, Thad paid a heavy price for his desires. In prisons and mental hospitals, he could no longer do what he wanted, so he picked up a pen as a knife and gun, and began to write a lot. Such masterpieces as "120 Days of Sodom" and "Justina or the Misfortune of Virtue" were all completed by Sade in the Bastille. The long life in mental asylum and prison made Thad a fat man, no longer handsome, and completely lost his sexuality, but it did not destroy his enthusiasm, he wrote almost frantically, although many of his works were banned , failed to pass down. Interestingly, when the Marquis de Sade was released from the Bastille by the revolutionaries, he took an active part in the French Revolution, serving in the Division of the Spears, managing and reforming the hospital. The revolution approved his divorce and looted the property on which his estate depended. Finally, his The "revolution" also ended in failure - the "revolutionary", known for his abuse, was sentenced to death for "moderate crimes". Fortunately, Robespierre fell the day after the verdict, and Sade escaped (the modern admirer of Sade, the famous film director Pasolini, also considered himself a revolutionary, he thought himself a follower of Marxism). Marquis de Sade believes that this world is an evil world, and that nature is full of evil. Virtue is unreal, and efforts to be good and virtuous are hopeless and will eventually fail and destroy. The sin of man brings wealth, happiness and power to man, and sin makes man strong. Therefore, in his shocking novels, Sade devoted himself to ruthlessly mocking those so-called moralists and giving them the most tragic fate possible. He once wrote: "Goodwill is not so much a virtue of the soul as a sin of pride". Thad said: "There are some people of our kind who behave appallingly and are despised - but it doesn't help that they are just punished or preached because of their eccentric temperaments. The germination of the buddha is often involuntarily, and at this point it is both you and me, no matter how intelligent or stupid, no matter how high or low you come from—the fools object to me, saying that the people I portray are demons. If we look at it in our traditional and usual way , they are indeed demons-----but they are the tools devised by 'nature' to realize its laws. Nature endows them with savage and bloody characters, which is the true face of life." Sade further believes that religious belief is The biggest mistake humans make. He believes that "nature" is the highest principle, and he even said, "Cruelty is human nature, even a child who has not yet reached the age of reason can strangle a bird and bite a wet nurse's nipple". Thus "cruel pleasure" is entirely natural, while society is an "unnatural structure" that hinders the course of natural development. Naturally, it doesn't care about individuals called "evil", it looks at "war, persecution and tyranny" with "benevolent eyes". Nature has no property, so stealing is not a crime. Nor is there any difference between murder and natural death, just the molecular rearrangement of life. . Sade's works have a place in the history of French literature, but they have been banned by mainstream society for a long time, and the attention and evaluation they have received have not been free from controversy; Sade's thoughts are more often used in research and hedonism and extremes than literature. Philosophy of ideas about freedom. From an onlooker's point of view, Marquis de Sade regarded morality and law as nothing all his life, pursued extreme sensory stimulation, and was not accepted in society. He was obviously a nobleman, but he was imprisoned for most of his life, living in a state of embarrassment and despair. However, Sade himself believes that "it's not my own way of thinking that makes me unfortunate, but someone else's". He is really a prodigal, insistent, and downright prodigal. After Sadd's death, his name was used by psychiatrists to coin a new term for "Sadism", which means "seeking pleasure through physical or mental suffering", or "SM" in "Sadism". S" - the abuser. Sade himself should not have thought that after 200 years, he has become the "father of SM" and is still "living" in this world.
