The Road to Suicide is a novella by French writer Mo Bosang. Boule de suif is his famous work and one of his representative works. Boule de suif is based on the Franco-Prussian War of 1870- 187 1.
Through the story of 10 people representing all social classes in France at that time who fled to a port by carriage, the despicable, selfish and ugly face of the bourgeoisie in this war was vividly reflected.
In the novel, the author compares the inferior people with the superior people and tests their moral standards. Boule de suif is a patriotic prostitute. Of the 65,438+00 people, only boule de suif deserves to be called a noble person and a patriotic person.
She has a kind heart. In the carriage, although the ladies of the aristocratic bourgeoisie expressed contempt and insult to her, boule de suif generously invited them to share their food when they were starving to death.
She also has strong national pride. And those so-called gentlemen are scum with ugly souls who harm others and benefit themselves.
