The Moon and Six pen

Mid-Autumn festival after two days of vacation for three days, the moon and sixpence finished maugham, the moon and sixpence of maugham's journal entry. First shows the book doesn' t have anything to do with the moon or p at all, as I read at night, should be a time of the month circle person circle,sky and surrounded by empty. The plot of the story is more complex, a British stock exchange's agent,the existing stable career and position, a happy family, is more than the middle, but infatuation with painting, like "was the devil body," suddenlly leave home, to Paris to pursue the ideal of painting. He is in a foreign country is not only the body endure poverty and hunger, spirit also endure suffering. After some bizarre story, the hero, the last to leave the civilized world isolated from to Tahiti. He finally find the soul of the atmosphere of peace and is suitable for their own artistic temperament. He same native women live together, to create a picture and a picture of a shock to the later work.Before he contracted leprosy blind in their own home four murals performance a great work of the garden of Eden. But before death, he has ordered the indigenous women put the painting after his death. The wonderful degree is far from the author of this story the story itself. I ureami, abandon all family wife and children work, to pursue the dream. Such people, especially the Strickland in the story, is selfish, irresponsible, escape dare not face reality, and even some cold-blooded and secular values absolutely against the alien society, gave his all chains, he wants to get rid of society to find their own way of life, even if it is to endure hunger and tortured by suffering, complaint or regret. So let a person feel hate, because if everyone like Strickland, the society or thoroughly mixed, or communism is realized. But such a person to let a person admire, envy, even he is strong, have the courage and perseverance. No matter what the end result is, he can find his or her own dream or live in the dream world, he has been a success. Do your own dream, let others say! Maugham, in the process of storytelling from the perspective of all kinds of people, occasionally some of his comments, will her incisively and vividly. His pen as the knife, carving out the phenomenon of rich and vivid. The story of the some of the cool, then it seems to me is the flavor of the fairy tale. Strickland is lonely,"we each life in the world is lonely. Everyone was jailed in a tower, can only rely on symbols to convey their ideas with others; and the value of these symbols is not common, so their meaning is vague and uncertain. We are very poor to send his wealth in the heart to others, but they didn't accept the wealth ability. So we can only walk alone,though the body next to each other but not together, doesn' t know someone else and not for others to know, we like to live in a foreign country, for the language of the country know very little, even though we have all kinds of wonderful, esoteric things to say, but only limited to the session on the manual on the banal words. Our mind is full of all kinds of thoughts, and we can say is just like a 'gardener aunt has an umbrella in the house' this kind of words." His this kind of loneliness is illusion, illusion cannot touch. Some detached attitude, his life can' t imagine a realistic social life in the more than 40 years, live a "normal" life, can give up everything overnight. He reflected his sense of values to the evaluation of love: "I don't need to love.I have no time to make love. This is the weakness of human nature. I am a man,sometimes I need a woman. But once I got the lust of the meet, I'm going to do something else. I can not overcome their own desires, I hate it, it held my spirit. I hope to one day in the future, I will no longer controlled by the desire, no longer subject to any block up the whole heart into my work. Because women in addition to love won't do anything, so they leave love see very important, almost to the point of ridiculous. They also want to persuade us, that we also believe that the person's whole life is love. In fact part of love is trivial in life. I only know lust. This is normal, healthy. Love is a kind of disease. The woman is a tool for my pleasure, I proposed to them what career assistant, these requirements are very hate life partner." These words the eccentric, such as a heresy. "Sexual hunger on strickland's position is very small, is not very important, or rather, let him feel aversion. His soul is another thing. Sometimes desire seize him, drove him indulge4 themselves, but for the deprived him quiet self sustaining instinct he is very tired, he even dislike him the indispensable partner in the ministries, indulgence, after him to control his, see the lust to vent his woman, he even with a shudder. His thoughts at this time will quietly floating.
