Chesil Beach is the only connection point between the southernmost island of Portland in the UK and the mainland. The approximately 225-kilometer-long beach consists of ridges of rough gravel ranging in size from small peas to large potatoes, mostly flint. With this in mind, I wondered if it was a sign that Edward was doomed to a life of loneliness by failing to grasp Florence, his only point of connection with the public. The dense and hard flint also represents Edward's stubbornness and will eventually suffer the consequences.
However, the development of character is not natural, but a long-term habit of a family. The family makes the individual, and the individual influences the family. Therefore, it is said that "a family that accumulates good will have surplus happiness, and a family that accumulates bad will have surplus disaster." Let’s look at Edward’s family first. Each of them is concerned with his own business. His father is busy teaching, and when he gets home, he stays in the study. His behavior makes people feel more polite; the two younger sisters have lost the vitality of their peers, lack of sunshine, lack of dreams, and lack of love; Edward lives in this home where there is no communication, no care, no laughter, and even the sun cannot shine. , and also cultivated his occlusion, withdrawn, inferiority complex, violent and decisive. When his mother had a conversation with birds in the yard and the family came out to help, he chose to sit on the sidelines; when he received good news but no one was celebrating, he was reluctant to share it with the enthusiastic deliveryman; when he faced the buttons of his dress When he could not find the right way to open it, he resorted to impatience, rudeness and violence; when Florentz finally begged him to go back with him in an almost imploring tone, he refused so firmly, coldly, and ruthlessly, which is exactly what he said. He was doomed to have nothing.
It's hard to say why Florence fell in love with him. It is possible that all daughters of strong fathers generally fall in love with men who are very different from their fathers. Just like Huang Rong found Guo Jing, Zhao Min always pestered Wuji, and Azhu Azi thought of Xiao Feng without thinking of death. Of course, Florentz was lucky, fell in love with the wrong person, and finally recognized everything at the moment before the consummation. Women need to be cared for.
Edward is like the song "I think I'll be alone forever, so alone for the rest of my life"!
