Some people think that the prototype of this novel is Gauguin, a French impressionist painter, which adds legend to it and attracts the attention of readers all over the world. The plot of The Moon and Sixpence is based on the life of Gauguin, a French post-impressionist painter. The protagonist Charles strickland is a stockbroker.

3. How to write "The Moon and sixpence that British art is not dominated by others" thinks that Trickland's impressionist prototype is high and complex. So The Moon and Sixpence is actually based on a dramatic novel. The title means. I don't understand it for a while, but I don't know it after the information query. The moon represents lofty ideals, and sixpence represents reality. So the content of the book revolves around the distance between ideal and reality. First of all, I want to talk to him about independent art. The hero painter thinks that Trickland started painting himself, which is totally different from what we usually know. In our real life, the cultivation of art is often insignificant. After a certain age, many people will feel that they have no artistic talent and give up painting. Many people only regard painting as a skill and a means of life, and it often becomes a part of people to show off their personality capital or become a skilled painter (Lang Lang-pianist). But if everyone is like this, then the so-called ideal is also very superficial and not worth mentioning. So many people say that becoming a painter or an artist is actually just becoming a painter. Become a tool of imitation, without the high level of independent yes-men. This book also mentions some so-called artists, who often can't deviate from the artistic category that people can understand and carefully adjust their artistic fields according to the tastes of the public. Just like Achilles and the tortoise.

Each of us is lonely in this world. Everyone is imprisoned in an iron tower and can only communicate with others through some symbols; These symbols do not have the same value, so their meanings are vague and uncertain. It is pitiful that we pass on the wealth in our hearts to others, but they are unable to accept it. So we can only walk alone. Although our bodies are very close, we are not together. We can neither understand others nor be understood by others. Mao Mu's The Moon and Sixpence
5. What does the title of the foreign novel The Moon and Sixpence mean? It is generally believed that "the moon" represents "ideal"; Some people think that the "moon" is a mysterious and primitive internal driving force that drives werewolves to howl at the moon at the full moon. It is not an ideal, but a desire, an impulse and a passion. To the moon and sixpence, for Strickland, it is a desire to create, a desire to express, a strong desire to paint-perhaps not an artistic ideal, not an ideal to paint masterpieces handed down from generation to generation, but a desperate desire to paint. Like Strickland, there are people in life who ignore money and status, so-called social morality and other people's eyes. They enthusiastically pursue their inner beliefs and express their inner desires and the most primitive beauty through painting. They seem unrealistic, live an ascetic life, and even have moral corruption, but they have the fullest enthusiasm and life satisfaction. They are as beautiful and noble as the moon.
The so-called "sixpence" should be everything in our secular life, including ethics, reputation and rights, quality of life and so on. More precisely, "sixpence" is the mainstream pursuit of ordinary people. They live a regular life, strive to improve their wealth level and social status, and feel that they have responsibilities and obligations that meet their status. Their life value is closely related to money and honor.
Combined with the analysis of the content of the article, most of the background in the novel is the poor life of the man, and Sixpence is very suitable for the life of the characters in the novel. On the other hand, the article mentions "for family readers", which shows that sixpence, as the most basic monetary unit of family life, can be close to readers. Besides, comparing the "moon" to "ideal" has been accepted by most people. Therefore, The Moon and Sixpence can not only conform to the content of the article, but also be close to the readers, making them easier to understand.
6. What does the ending of Mao Mu's The Moon and Sixpence mean? "Another sentence in the Bible came to my lips, but I restrained myself from saying it, because I knew that priests didn't like laity invading their fields, and they thought it was blasphemous.
My uncle Henry was a priest in Tiber parish in witters for twenty-seven years. When he meets this opportunity, he will say: The devil can always quote the Bible if he wants to do something bad. He will never forget the day when he could buy thirteen big oysters for a shilling. "
Analysis 1. The moon symbolizes the lofty spiritual pursuit that needs to be looked up to, that is, dreams, and dreams often seem too illusory. Sixpence was the smallest monetary unit in Britain at that time, representing the mediocre and vulgar real life.
Pastor Robert, the son of the hero, made a fortune by writing his father's biography. The hero's uncle, Reverend Henry, is probably also Robert.
If the hero pursues the moon and the two priests pursue sixpence, and they take pleasure in despising people who pursue the moon-then "the devil can always quote the Bible when he wants to do bad things" is an allusion to the two priests. 3. And the last sentence "He has never forgotten the day when a shilling can buy thirteen big oysters" can be simply understood as a fascination with secular material life.
However, the era and background behind that "day" can lead to endless imagination time and space. As for the choice between the moon and sixpence, it doesn't really matter.
What really matters is that you have thought about it, made a decision and chosen your own life.
