beauty and innocence

Lorena 2022-12-05 23:37:21

Beautiful as a flower, with noble taste, fond of beautiful things, innocent emma, reminds me of Xu Qing in today's entertainment industry, also has a beautiful face, body and material desire, but the difference is that Xu Qing's innocence is only in appearance, while Emma is Innocent from the inside out.

In Ms. Wang's words, the beauty is poor, and the more beautiful the woman is, the easier it is to be seduced and deceived by the world. Although the point of her saying this is that the important factor for me to grow up safely is because of my ordinary appearance, but it also illustrates the two sides of a woman's beauty with an old saying. Beauty is a treasure that keeps attracting admirers, but once it is paired with naivety, it is a lost diamond, unable to protect itself, but attracts everyone's attention.

But beyond that?

1. The backside of life is patience

In the play, Dr. Bovary has two sentences that I can't forget.

Emma and the doctor In the early morning after the first night, emma wanted the doctor to stay, the doctor said: "I am your husband only at night, and during the day, I am the doctor".

After going bankrupt due to financial problems, doctor said, 'emma, not everyone can live a life of luxury'

These words are the truth of today's society, but there is also a logic behind it. Behind life is patience, and desire cannot be 100% filled.

Want beautiful, comfortable and high-grade carpets, romantic and passionate love, and a companion who is considerate and always with you

If you want everything, you may get nothing.

2. The world is so bad that innocence is incompatible with beauty

People who love the world with sincerity are often seriously hurt by complicated hearts.

For love alone, it's too complicated. Time, money, social evaluation, age, everything can destroy love at a certain moment

Beautiful, it will attract pretenders to hold flowers, and it will make people think that there are only tender love words in the world

Innocence, not in the evil of nature, but in the unrealistic trust and fantasy of a bad world. Too much fantasy, too much disappointment

3. What made Madame Bovary

The story of Madame Bovary is a coincidence created by several eras. 1. The monastic life kept her from getting too much contact with men and society 2. Women cannot work and can only find roles in the family 3. Fashionable novels are full of romantic love stories

The unequal education and social training between men and women makes her desires, talents and expectations have nowhere to vent. She is not lazy or stupid.

4. Even so, I still want to look forward to the world with a naive heart

Madame Bovary quotes

  • Emma Bovary: I realized that before getting married I was contemplating my coming life like a child. In a theater, um... sitting there in high spirits, and eagerly waiting for the play to begin. It was a blessing in my early youth that I did not know what was really going to happen. When I look back now, it seems that I was like an innocent prisoner, condemned not to death, but to life, and as-yet unconscious of what the sentence meant. And the longer I live, the more clearly I feel that on a whole, life's a disappointment.

  • Monsieur Lheureux: This is going to be very expensive.

    Emma Bovary: You will extend me credit, will you not?

    Monsieur Lheureux: [slides fabric swatches toward her] Money should never be the problem - only the solution.
