Reflections on the tragic world of the novel 1

In Les Miserables, Jean Valjean was originally an honest and earnest laborer who had been helping her poor sister to raise seven poor children. In order not to let the children starve, she stole bread to keep them alive. Although this is not correct, it is enough to prove that he is kind enough, and his life should have shone with kindness. The world is beautiful, but life is humble, and many people feel bad. "The granary knows etiquette, food and clothing know honor and disgrace", just imagine, if we are suffering from hunger and dying, can we resist the innate strong survival instinct of human beings with weak conscience and shame? How can you know shame without food and clothing?

The reason why human beings are small is that they can't or can't experience suffering. This is our biggest limitation. Many times, when we do something wrong, or even do something badly, we don't want to do it. We must have been forced by the outside world to do so. Once this persecution is not stopped and saved in time, it becomes a habit, and the soul falls again and again, creating the so-called bad guys.

Hugo pointed out in the preface of Les Miserables: "The three problems of this century-poverty makes men poor, hunger makes women degenerate, and darkness makes children weak." It was poverty that forced Jean Valjean to steal bread to help his hungry nephew, and he was finally sentenced to 19 years of hard labor. After he was released from prison, he was discriminated against because of his yellow race, so he could not survive. All this led Jean Valjean to blindly retaliate against society. It was betrayal and discrimination that destroyed Su Ting and sold her soul to keep her illegitimate daughter alive. We have to admit that their lives are suffering, and the root of their suffering is undoubtedly society, the social oppression caused by laws and customs and the social status quo that no one can save.

The reason why Les Miserables is heavy and great lies in the distortion of human nature caused by the tragic social situation he profoundly reveals and satirizes. If Les Miserables shows us that Jean Valjean still has no resentment and is bent on doing good after being oppressed by all aspects of society, it will inevitably make us feel that the protagonist is divorced from reality, bloodless, without love and hate, and is a saint rather than a mortal, which will be somewhat untrue.

After all, people are human beings, and we can't even guarantee to maintain a kind mind in the midst of suffering. Why force others to be kind and protect their souls without hatred and bitterness? What we can do is to forgive and redeem, and to redeem the suffering soul.

After Jean Valjean was released from prison, almost everyone refused to find a place to live. He pushed open the door of Millie, a respected local bishop, and the kind bishop took him in for the night. After he was arrested for stealing the bishop's silverware, the bishop still defended him and finally escaped arrest. At this point, Jean Valjean's kind nature was awakened, and he himself believed that he was no longer the man he used to be, and his heart was completely changed. It's just that 19' s prison life has turned his hatred of social law into hatred of the whole society, including resistance and hatred of all kindness, innocence and justice. He can't accept this awakening of conscience, which is completely contrary to his determination. After robbing little Gervais of forty sous, the inner contradiction finally broke out. He saw the ugliness of his past and bravely accepted his spiritual awakening.

Reflections on the tragic world of novels II.

Les Miserables was born in the hands of Hugo, a famous writer known as "Shakespeare of France". It depicts the historical reality from the failure of Napoleon Waterloo to the people's uprising against the July Dynasty, and depicts a huge picture of social and political life.

It depicts the rough and miserable life of the protagonist Jean Valjean, and highlights the social injustice at that time. Like a colorful painting, it shows all the broad social life scenes in the whole half-century historical process: remote towns in other provinces, emerging industrial towns along the coast, terrible courts, dark prisons, miserable slums in Paris, dark monasteries, horrible cemeteries and cold inns in the suburbs. War-torn roadblocks, sewers that provide shelter for evil people ... On this long and vast painting axis, every scene is lifelike, and its details are very real and meticulous. The image of the picture is so vivid and prominent, the color is so thick and magnificent, and the momentum is so majestic. Isn't it a model of the combination of realism and romanticism in the history of literature?

In the book Les Miserables, I felt deeply and realized different greatness: just like the greatness of Jean Valjean's personality; Javert's greatness to conscience and responsibility; The greatness of tolerance of Bishop miriam; Eponine's greatness to love. ...

Reflections on the tragic world of novels 3

The weather is gloomy and breezy. Grab the coat button, stare at the sky, and a little white hair is flying in the brow. The old man sat quietly on the park bench, and the ups and downs of his youth made him have a indifferent state of mind that ordinary people could not reach. Close your eyes, feel the residual heat of the air, let time flow through your fingers, and reminisce with Zeng Jin and his daughter Cosette. However, when he left Cosette to live alone in an empty small room on the third floor, the old man endured loneliness, became seriously ill after a long period of depression, and did not forget to leave his original wealth-making skills when he died. Finally, when Cosette and Marius suddenly repented, the old man was already seriously ill, unable to return to heaven, and finally died with a smile. This old man is Jean Valjean, the hero of Les Miserables. The old man, whose fate was bumpy, spent many years in prison because of an unfair trial when he was young. Fortunately, I met the kind bishop Miriel after I got out of prison. After my soul was redeemed, I have been doing good deeds and integrating the kindness of the bishop into the hearts of the world. He has been practicing the spirit of fraternity and fitness.

Close this famous book, a faint sadness seeps into the skin through the cover, spreads in the blood, and gradually blurs the line of sight. In a trance, I seem to see the kind smile of the old man, and the shining holy mans are flowing in the chapped skin. Dry your tears, drag your cheeks and sigh silently. People always say that good people are rewarded, but Jean Valjean's experience is really sad. With the end of the full text, the image of the old man gradually drifted away in his mind, reaching out his right hand and grabbing it forward, as if to hold the back of the old man leaving. However, all this is in vain. Fingers have never touched real objects except air, and illusory light and shadow thoughts are fleeting.

Hugo, the author, used the experience of Jean Valjean to alert the ignorant French at that time, vividly interpreted the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature, and at the same time exposed the hypocrisy, ugliness and dark side of human heart. He called on people to solve problems by peaceful means, not by extreme personality. Hugo said through Bishop Miriè re that justice requires not only revenge, but also understanding and tolerance under appropriate circumstances. Similarly, treat everyone with a sincere heart and trust others, so that you can gain the trust of others. If you have ulterior motives, you will never be trusted by others, and you will only be suspected and left out in the cold. We should be brave in dedication, be ready to help others and be warm to others. It is for this reason that Jean Valjean became the mayor from a citizen at the bottom. One of the most representative is his concern for Fangqiu and Cosette. In order to realize Fang-CHO's wish to see his own daughter before his death, he escaped from prison again. Although Fang-machi died in the end and didn't realize his wish, he persistently fulfilled the promise of the unrelated dead man in the other town ... How many people in the vast sea of people can do this?

Now all kinds of terrible violence in society and all kinds of uneasy factors in the corner are in danger for everyone. No one stood up to stop evil deeds, no one dared to help the old man fall into the water, and no one saved the drowning child. Tragic world, the real tragedy is the human heart. Nowadays, the popular trend of marrying "the richest man in Gao Shuai" has become the mainstream of the whole society. People ignore the shaping of personality and unilaterally pursue money enjoyment.

What the world needs is not only a leap in science and technology, but also the bright redemption of people's hearts.

Reflections on the tragic world of novels 4

After enjoying Hugo's Les Miserables, I can't help feeling deeply. Is there still love in this world?

Poor Jean Valjean stole a small piece of bread and ended up in prison for nineteen years. After he got out of prison, he wanted to get revenge on mankind, but he was influenced by a kind bishop and decided to be a kind person again. So, he fled the designated place and came to a poor town, where he began his sacred career. Because of his appearance, the town prospered and he became a respected mayor.

The good times didn't last long. Inspector Javert discovered his status as a convict, and poor Jean Valjean began his escape career again ... Why can't people accept Jean Valjean, who has made mistakes, to turn over a new leaf? What does such a kind person get in return?

During Napoleon's time, people were full of deception. Paris is a whirlpool that drowns everything. Walking into Paris is like entering a bottomless pit, where there are poor people everywhere, and the rich can oppress the poor. The whole of Paris is so filthy. ...

The treacherous Thenardier is in sharp contrast with the kind and merciful Jean Valjean, but how many people are kind, honest and selfless and loyal to their duties? Just like Javert, he maintains social order, makes the law exert its power, eliminates violence for society, stands upright and has a heroic style. Like a brave god, he fills the sky with a superhuman arrogance. He shines brightly and never blinks when he kills people. He does have a great spirit, but he can't tell good from evil.

I hope everyone will make our world full of love like Jean Valjean!

Reflections on the tragic world of novels 5

Les Miserables is a novel published by French writer victor hugo in 1862. This is one of the most famous novels of19th century. This novel covers the Napoleonic Wars and the following ten years. The main line of the story revolves around the process of the protagonist's attempt to atone for the released criminal Jean Valjean, which is integrated into French history, architecture, politics, moral philosophy, law, justice and religious beliefs. Les Miserables is rich in content and profound in connotation, which makes readers realize that the work has a profound sense of weight and touches many readers.

In the process of Jean Valjean's atonement, there is one person we have to mention, and that is Javert. He is ruthless, abides by the law, thinks that kindness is the source of evil, and he pursues Jean Valjean. So the world has made many negative comments on him. I can't deny that I am one of them. But with the growth of my age, I have a new view by re-examining this character.

Jean Valjean embodies courage, kindness and awakening, but all these are presented through the contrast of Javert. In addition, some characteristics of Javert are also worth pondering. He is by no means an absolutely careless person. A person who strictly abides by the law will not be a villain. In a society where law is the highest moral code of conduct. Javert, though unlovable, is a gentleman. He is not without morality. As far as his morality is concerned, he has only violated it once. And paid the price of his life for it.

He thinks the law is just. This is what he thinks of as true goodness. It is also the belief that he cares about all his life. Perhaps because of this persistence, his eyes have been blinded, and he has forgotten why those "inferior people" will steal vegetables again and again. In other words, he didn't forget, but ignored and escaped. His lifelong belief is that law is the only truth, and it is difficult for him to accept the fact that his belief is actually a defect of the country. But running away doesn't change the fact. In that war, when Javert met Jean Valjean who was carrying Marius, Javert had realized this, so he let the man he had been chasing all his life go, but he couldn't bear the collapse of his faith and died heroically.

So in this respect, Javert is a tragic figure. Javert's death shows that with the development of society, the law at that time. Laws for the rich. Laws made only for "inferior people" can no longer adapt to social progress. The so-called fairness and justice collapsed with Javert's death. The progress of human society can be reflected by the perfection of laws. In the tragic world, the revolution failed. But Javert's death. In fact, it implies the demise of that society. Release the belief that the revolution will succeed. Javert's faith and Jean Valjean's atonement. In fact, they are all true satires on that society. At the same time, we will also get a glimpse that there may be more and more national awakening in the near future, which may be the author's expectation.

But in today's society, people who stick to the law like Javert are really what we should praise and learn. Corruption is getting worse. If there are many such people, our country will be better. Every one of us loves our country in any way. I remember a famous American critic who criticized the United States all his life, but he never left his country. When someone asked him why he didn't immigrate, he said with tears in his eyes, "Even if this country is filthy, I fucking love it." So whatever you do, remember the original intention:

You loved this country from beginning to end.
