A Tale of Two Cities
That was the best time, that was the worst time; That is the year of wisdom, that is the year of ignorance; That is the period of faith, that is the period of doubt; That is the season of light, that is the season of darkness; That is the spring of hope, that is the winter of disappointment; We are all going straight to heaven, we are all going in the opposite direction.
The book of two cities has 2800 words. This novel is one of Dickens' most important representative works. Under the broad real background of the French Revolution, he interweaves the three independent and interrelated stories of unjust imprisonment, love and revenge, with the experience of the fictional doctor menet as the main clue. The plot is complex and complicated. Although the characters and the main plot are fictitious, they have profoundly exposed the social contradictions that were intensified before the French Revolution, strongly criticized the extravagance and brutality of the aristocracy, and deeply sympathized with the suffering of the lower class. The shock, anger, moving and gratification after reading filled my heart for a time. I was shocked by the great power of the revolutionary masses who rose up to resist, and I was also angry at their vengeance when the revolution progressed; I was moved by carton's sincere and selfless love for Lucy, as well as the beautiful vision of carton at the end of the novel and the continuation of his life.
In short, it was very much like today, and some of the loudest authorities insisted on using the superlative of adjectives to describe it. Say it's good, it's the highest level; Say it's not good, it's also the most advanced. This is the first chapter at the beginning of the whole book, which sets the tone of the whole book with a tragic color. However, even in this contradictory era, there was indeed light. This book describes the events surrounding the Doctor Manette's family during the French Revolution. This book subverts my views on freedom, rights and good and evil - the French people were overwhelmed and overthrew the Bourbon Dynasty. However, after the establishment of the new regime, is it the freedom they yearn for? No, I'm still worried. If I'm not careful, I'll be sent to the guillotine tomorrow.
After gaining power, Mrs. Defari abused her power and killed all her enemies, but ended up with a tragic death. As the saying goes, "freedom, how many crimes are committed in your name." The great revolution was not as beautiful as it had been imagined. Instead, it dealt with violence with violence. It did not save the people, but pushed them into another fire pit. Let's take a look at another victim of the great revolution, Dane. Before the revolution, he gave up his domestic business and came to Britain to make a living. In his opinion, it was extremely inhumane to oppress the people. However, after the revolution broke out, he became an innocent enemy of the people, and people wanted to lead him to the guillotine indiscriminately. However, I believe that after a narrow escape, he is still the original kind-hearted Dane. But carton, a talented but self indulgent lawyer, has the same appearance as Dane, but has a different destiny.
When facing the choice of living or letting his beloved get happiness, he resolutely chose the latter. In his opinion, life is insignificant in front of love. Even on the guillotine, he also showed unimaginable composure. Because in the bottom of his heart, there has always been a belief supporting him: "Jesus said, the resurrection is in me, and the life is in me. Those who believe in me will be resurrected even if they die. Whoever lives and believes in me will never die." He used death to complete self redemption, he used death to resist the false revolutionaries, and he used death to interpret Ruth's love.
Carton's greatness gives him too much light, but as far as this character is concerned, he still has a tragic character. He looked down on himself too much, which can be said to be a little self abased. Therefore, he let himself go and felt hopeless because of his indulgence. In the end, he didn't try his best to pursue Lucy. Instead, he just hid his love for her in his heart, silently endured the torment, and selflessly paid without asking for any return. This kind of love is beautiful and lofty, but it is too low-key. If carton can work hard, if carton is willing to fight, Lucy may not choose him, and he can also give Lucy good happiness.
Compared with carton, today's love seems to be imposed more things. Money, power, status, interests... These things that should not be the influencing factors of love have taken up more and more weight. People love not for love, but for survival. In many cases, hypocrisy takes the place of sincerity, and material is superior to spirit. Maybe we are a group of rational animals, maybe what we do is the best choice. But should we feel ashamed and face up to each of our feelings? Do people live just to eat, drink and sleep well? The events reported in the media for love and hatred should sound the alarm bell for people today. We should carefully consider whether they are killed for love or hate? If we can't live in a broad way, the world will be dull and colorless.
Life has become his last weapon, and love has become his only one. The French Revolution is a blood mark in the history of mankind. In that chaotic era, it was full of uncertainty; In this state of disorder, all the manifestations of human nature are undoubted. Taking the French Revolution as the background, through the hatred conflict between the ethnic group and the common people, Dickens only wants to convey that blood cannot wash away hatred, let alone replace love - the pain caused by the tyranny of the noble to the common people will not be healed by blood, and the hatred of the common people against the noble can not replace the love for the dead relatives. Times can change a person's life. The peaceful and prosperous times we live now are no longer peaceful. We must study hard and learn more.
In short, a tale of two cities has brought us too much thinking and understanding. About love, about hate, about revenge, and about rebirth. When carton saw hope at the end of the novel, I seemed to see a little light from the gloomy mood of the whole book. Therefore, the existence of carton is not only the author's exaggeration of love, but also Dickens' confidence in the future. Yes, when there is no hatred between people, when all hatred is sublimated into love, there is no revenge, no blood, and only happy laughter and brilliant sunshine.
Once again, I was moved by Dilao's good intentions, by carton's dream and deep-seated feelings until his death, and even more by this most noble, eternal and never fading love in the world. It is so rare and beautiful, and it will surely last forever!
Only in the future can we better protect our family and our country!
