Dog, Cat and Mouse is an essay written by modern writer Lu Xun at 1926. This essay first retaliates against the "modern critics" for slandering the author "hate cats" and exposes their despicable means. Then the author explains the proximate cause of his "hating cats" and describes the main characteristics of "cats".
Then, by tracing back to childhood, the reason of "hating cats" is explained. Finally, it criticizes the "golden mean" and points out that its essence is to abuse evil and support rape; On the surface, the author hates cats, but in fact he lashed a class of people who have similar habits with cats, such as some "gentlemen" in society at that time and accomplices of warlords and rulers.
The author expresses sympathy for the weak and hatred for the perpetrators by recalling the past when a lovely hidden mouse rescued in childhood was finally killed. In this paper, irony and melody are used, animals are used to describe people, and arguments are used as clues to describe and discuss, which has profound implications.
In this paper, people are metaphorically linked. From the beginning of "I seem to hear someone say that I hate cats", it exposed the ugly intention of modern critics' gentlemen to slander the author Lu Xun as a dog.
Evaluation of works:
The first half of this article is a complete miscellaneous style. Some words quoted in the article in a sarcastic tone, such as "the elders who have the responsibility to guide the youth" and "don't mess with them", are all taken from the articles of Xu Zhimo and Chen Xiying.
It was not until the second half of the book that I officially entered the memory sequence: when I was a child, I heard my grandmother tell the story of the cat and tiger under the laurel tree in summer night, how I saved the hidden mouse that was hunted by snakes, and the experience of hating and beating the cat because I heard that my beloved hidden mouse was eaten by the cat.
