  Tahiti Island is a paradise like scene in the book, with tropical jungles, palm trees, indigenous people, ancient customs, and so on. However, there is no modern atmosphere or social rules, and Strickland can freely paint here, lingering among palm trees. The beauty he pursues is everywhere. Sometimes, when a person comes to a place, they feel like they are living there, so they live in the scenery they have never experienced, in the crowd they have never known, and find peace of mind. So he worked hard to paint in this desolate land of peach, which has nothing to do with morality and value. He became famous and became a master who could hardly find a painting. But after he died of Leprosy, everything was burned according to his will. I believe this is Maugham's reflection on true freedom - is there an ideal country in the world like Tahiti to Strickland? Until the end, Maugham did not have an accurate answer, or Maugham's view is pessimistic, and the complete utopia is only temporary and fragile, which shows that Maugham is an anti Platonism. The sentence 'Strickland is like a lifelong pilgrim, always longing for a holy land' is the best evidence.
