I prefer St., I just called and had a happy summer with Mrs. Forbes. They not only reached the peak in creating a sense of absurdity, but also had a very tense plot.
Marquez always likes to talk about love and loneliness, but he can show two old people one gorgeous dress after another, and can conjure up all kinds of gadgets in a treasure chest as early as a magician.
The narrative style and language style are gorgeous and fantastic, and the story as a whole is average. This is about the later life of a overthrown president. When the former president was dying, he could only sell his property to make up for the operating expenses, and he could only restrain himself in the face of quick words. Maybe the author wants to express his powerlessness in the face of death? I don't like it very much. I feel just so-so.
After Magrido's daughter died for more than ten years, he found that her body did not rot, and it was still as intact as when she died, and the body completely lost its weight.
He put his daughter's body in a box, hoping that everyone could see that his daughter was a saint. But he pursued it for 22 years and killed five popes, all of which failed. After listening to his story, the directors of the new wave period also felt that it was not possible to make a film.
Finally, the "I" in the story gives an evaluation of Magrido: through his daughter's immortal body, he struggled for 22 years and completed the impeccable cause of joining the ranks of saints.
Magrido is lonely. In the whole story, the only one who can understand him is the lion in the zoo. Sadly, it's just a lion. His roommate was embarrassed to see him talking to women and decided to find a woman who could have fun with him. But this woman was scared away by the saint in the box. The director of New Wave represents business, but she is also discouraged. If you want to make a movie, you have to change the theme of this story. Magrido was bent on seeking liberation from religion, but he was also depressed.
Perhaps the judgment from God is finally waiting for him. God can give everyone a just answer. He will be crowned Magrido, and as "I" said, he is fighting for being a saint.
I thought the same thing.
hahaha. Sure enough, as a straight man, I still like such an easy-to-understand novel.
This article is not Marquez, or it is not a novel at all. At best, it is an essay with some material. It is to write that he met a beautiful woman at the airport, who happened to be on the same flight as himself and sat next to him. The beauty has been sleeping, and he is by her side with all kinds of YY.
A woman who can predict the future by dreaming has a snake-shaped ring in her hand. She lives by dreaming all her life.
Gorgeous and empty. Since ancient times, human beings have been obsessed with dreams and are curious about what happened at the moment when consciousness seems to be absent. But this theme has always been common, and I haven't read anything new in this article. I don't quite understand the so-called Borges maze that Nie Luda and the dreamer dreamed of each other. Is it the emphasis on intuition in dreams and poems? Can't get it.
Marquez's novels are full of people talking to themselves. Especially in "I just came to make a phone call".
Maria kept repeating that she was only here to make a phone call, and that she was not a mental patient.
The female guard listened to her repetition, but she didn't understand. What she wants is how to sleep with Maria.
Female He Qiuli listened to her repetition but didn't understand. What she thought was that Maria wanted to escape, and she had to stop her physically, because she was best at physical means.
The husband got a call from Maria and didn't believe her. He only believes that Maria is a bitch. He only believes that he has been betrayed because he has been betrayed. He is willing to believe such a sad plot.
After the vicissitudes of life, everyone began to repeat themselves and look at this colorful world with colored glasses made of their own experiences, which is probably the simplest and most sincere sadness behind Marquez's gorgeous magical reality.
Marquez still writes horror novels?
I read in Zhihu that Zhang Gongzi commented on Marquez, saying that everyone in his novels has a well-thought-out plan and has his own world view. When such people meet, the result is loneliness and absurdity. It's just like a cemetery salesman likes to judge his occupation according to his client's family environment. After asking confidently, he learned that Maria was a prostitute and had to flee. Maria, who has been taking care of the funeral, finally found out that the dream three years ago was actually not a prediction of death, but a prediction of a person's arrival. This ending links love and death, which is also quite mysterious.
When I just finished reading it, it was a black question mark face. I looked it up on Zhihu and saw an article asking, "Why do people who are afraid of losing you leave first every day?" The answer. Explain to the sandman that the fear of the unknown made us choose to escape, which led the young man who was taken away by the Swedes to die to escape from fear. It makes sense, and it can be said that it is the original intention of this novel, but I still think this form is a bit too much.
I like this.
One summer, my brother and I were forcibly militarized by a governess invited by my father. This governess is Mrs. Forbes, a German female officer. We think she smells like monkey urine, but my father thinks it's civilized. But in the end, Mrs Forbes was found dead at home with 27 fatal knife wounds.
The ending of this novel is very scary. "Her body is full of cuts. 27 of them were fatally injured. It can be seen from the number and cruelty of the wounds that they were stabbed in the frenzy aroused by fierce sex, and Mrs. Forbes accepted the injury with the same passion, even without screaming or crying, but recited Schiller in a beautiful voice as loud as her soldiers, obviously knowing that this was the price she had to pay for a happy summer. "
I saw some comments that Mrs Forbes restrained herself rationally during the day, but died of intense sex at night. She is a victim of rationalism and says this article is an attack on rationalism. This is of course a way of understanding.
Personally, I will understand this novel on a more humanistic level.
Marquez actually created a self-hating character. In Mrs Forbes' mind, she looks down on herself. She felt that she didn't deserve to be loved and that she was very happy, so she chose to punish herself with strict rules during the day. Her inner feelings were released in the dark.
After finally seeing the death of Mrs. Forbes, I went back to look at the description of the night she died.
"That morning, she talked to herself for a long time. She read Schiller's poems aloud in a crazy mood, and finally reached the top with a scream that resounded through the whole room. Then she sighed many times, as if her whole soul had been hollowed out. Finally, she calmed down with the long and piercing whistle of life like a drifting boat. "
In this description, although the perspective is outside Mrs. Forbes' room, our imagination is more real than looking directly at it in the room. We seem to see Mrs. Forbes begging her sexual partner to commit suicide at the climax. She wants to be destroyed at this moment of bliss, because only destruction can complete the atonement for this bliss.
As mentioned above, Mrs. Forbes, who is at the seaside during the day, is either fully armed or wears a swimsuit like shark skin but never goes into the water. She is afraid of daytime, which exposes her to a powerful and perfect superego, and she can't face herself who is eager for happiness and orgasm.
Writing practice
A guy named Billy Sanchez and his new wife Nina Dakende drove to Paris. Nina's hand was stabbed by a rose and she was bleeding profusely. Billy took her to a hospital in Paris. Billy, a big boy who has always depended on Nina, was at a loss after losing Nina. He was at a loss in Paris because he didn't understand the language there. He couldn't find Nina or her doctor in the hospital. A week later, when he found the Asian attending doctor again, he found that his wife had died.
Besides the loneliness and absurdity of love that Marquez often likes to reflect, I can only understand this as a man's growth story. The shape is still excellent, and the design of single parking is very eye-catching.
