Eugenie Grandet's reading notes-Grandet written by Balzac doesn't want to spend a penny even if his family is rich; People nowadays pretend to be rich even if they have a dime. But don't get me wrong, I'm not bragging about Grande's low profile here, but talking about the hypocrisy of some people now. Balzac is famous for Grandet in Eugénie. If I also create a person who is the opposite of Grandet, then I should also be famous!
In many people's minds, Grandet? Is synonymous with miser. Comparing the property of his brother, a Paris business tycoon, we can see that he is as rich as an enemy, but he is not willing to spend a penny. The simple living place and frugal food will undoubtedly surprise everyone. When I study, I always ask myself: Does he have to do this? Property can't be taken to what they call heaven. With so much property, he should at least live a middle-class life. At least use some money to provide certain conditions for your family! Although money may not make you happy. Don't be stingy at ordinary times. My nephew was killed. At this time, I should help, but he didn't. I think the saddest thing in his life is that he thought about money before he died. When the priest read mass for him, he took the priest's golden cross. And his meanness has a great influence on his relatives. The death of his wife has a lot to do with him, and Toure's change of heart has also provided him with great conditions. Because of one? Money? Words, how difficult he is.
One: However, Miss Eugénie is great. At first, she was kind and pure: later, although she was stingy in her own life, she still spent money on public construction and the poor.
Grandet died, and his daughter just inherited his meanness in private life. However, Eugénie had no children, and the people who were greatly influenced by him did not exist. Grandet gradually withdrew from the historical stage. But now, the team of people opposite him has gradually grown. I'll call these people temporarily, okay? Anti-Grandet? .
Almost all people want the attention of others, and they are eager for wealth, status and glory. Some people realize their own value by their own efforts and strength, while others don't know his depth. Such people can often achieve great things. But some people are different. They not only show strong vanity in wealth, but also deliberately? Improve? A person's position. Increase your own in vain? Highlights? In the end, it will only fall to the point of being rejected by others. Who is such a person? Anti-Grandet? Yes
? Grandet? Poor,? Anti-Grandet? More pitiful .......
Two: The story tells about Grandet's family background and his crazy love for money. Some people commented that this image is extremely vivid and has become one of the four miser images in the history of world literature.
Grandet's meanness and obsession with money can be seen everywhere in the book. As for servant Nanong, her salary is only 60 francs a year. She worked hard at Grandet's house for 30 years. It was not until the 20th year that Grandet made up her mind to give her an old watch, which was the only gift she got. Poor Nanon always sleeps barefoot and in rags in a dark little room at the end of the corridor. ? For 20 years' work, I reluctantly gave up my love and made a decision, as if it were a decision to kill him, drink his blood and pump his muscles-give Nanon an old watch. Besides these, Grandet is also stingy with his relatives: although Grandet's family is rich, his expenses are very economical. He never sells meat, vegetables and fruits, which are sent to the woodshed by tenants for him. He saved everything, including his movements. Every meal of food, every day of candles, he always personally quantitative distribution; Every year 1 1 a room is lit at the beginning of the month, and it will be closed on March 3 1, regardless of whether it is cold in spring and autumn;
His allowance to his wife does not exceed 6 francs at a time; For many years, the total amount of his daughter's dowry was only five or six hundred francs; As usual, Grandet asked her daughter to take out all her gold coins and enjoy them. Eugénie had to say that the gold coins were missing. Father flew into a rage, guessing that she gave the gold coin to Charlie, cursed the girl, and decided to keep her in her room, giving her only cold water and bread. ? At this moment, Grandet learned that his daughter had given his gold coin to Charlie. His love for money overwhelmed his family, and he sent his daughter to the attic, where she lived a life of hell.
? 1June, 822, Madame Grandet passed away peacefully. When his wife's bones were not cold, Grandet invited Luo Xu to ask Eugénie to sign the property contract and give up the registration. All the property is managed by the father, and the daughter only keeps virtual rights. Eugénie didn't understand it at all, so he signed the contract, and his father was relieved. ? His wife is still well, but he is running for his inheritance. ? In the evening, Grandet came to his wife's room and happened to meet the mother and daughter looking at the portrait of Charlie's mother. When Grandet saw the gold box, he clung to it like a tiger pouncing on a sleeping baby. ? Greedy, cunning and stingy, money is the only god he worships, which is beyond doubt.
Compared with his father, Eugénie is very loving and kind. Many public welfare undertakings have been set up: 1 nursing home, 8 missionary primary schools and a library have been established.
Charlie first made a fortune in India, and then he made a lot of money by trafficking in people, usury and selling pirates' stolen goods. He did everything. What else can he do? Nouveau riche? Title, squeezed into officialdom in the future, agreed to marry Miss Aubrey. The characters in the book all have their own personalities, but we can also find the shadow of the society at that time from them. The aristocracy is declining. All feudal, patriarchal and idyllic relationships have been destroyed? Instead, it is the overbearing bourgeois nouveau riche and the omnipresent and omnipotent money forces. And a weak woman who is content with the status quo. After reading this book, I have to sigh that the history of capitalists is a history of humiliation mixed with blood and tears.
Three: "Eugénie? Grandet is an outstanding human comedy by Balzac, the founder and outstanding representative of European critical realism literature. The story unfolds in the daily life of the family, with no sensational events or legends. As the author himself said, it is "an ordinary tragedy without poison, sharp knife and bleeding", and its tragic procedure is no less than that of classical tragedy. A stingy and shrewd millionaire has an innocent and beautiful only daughter. She fell in love with a bankrupt relative. In order to help him "break into the world", she gave all her money to her own private money, which angered her father, who loved money as much as his life. A fierce conflict broke out between father and daughter, and the timid and virtuous loving mother became ill from then on. However, this spoony girl who lost her father and her youth in expectation finally waited for the heartbreaker who came back rich.
This story of infatuated women's heartbreak is common, even sadder than it, but why does Balzac's novel become a masterpiece? Tired of letting everyone watch it for a long time? Not only because Balzac takes real events as the background, but also because the author of the novel portrays the hero as a flesh-and-blood person, which leads readers into the joys and sorrows of the hero.
Balzac's masterpiece describes the evil means of the bourgeois nouveau riche, profoundly exposes the greedy nature of the bourgeoisie and the evil of capitalist society, and shapes a world like Grandet.
The famous image of a miser. It is said that this novel is the product of Balzac's love affair with Russian lady Hanska who later became his wife. Balzac himself cherishes this novel, calling it "one of the best paintings". For more than 100 years, this work has exerted great influence on the development of world literature and the progress of mankind with its unique literary value. Marx and Engels praised Balzac as an "outstanding novelist".
Eugénie? Grandet is one of Balzac's most outstanding novels and a leap in his creation. This novel has made amazing achievements in characterization, environmental description and story narration. It shocked every reader and has a unique charm in the history of French literature.
The article makes full use of contrast to compare the images of Eugénie and her father, reflecting the darkness of society at that time ... but she is doomed to disappear in this society. Balzac's articles are also full of lyrical descriptions, which are so rich and touching. After reading this novel, an unknown emotion came to my mind and made me reflect for a long time. ......
Hugo once said: All Balzac's books constitute only one book: a vivid, shining and profound book. In this book, we can see the progress of our whole modern society, which gives people a powerful shock. A great book will be circulated indefinitely forever. Zola said: In front of Balzac's lifelike figures, the figures in ancient Greece and Rome became pale and shaky, and the figures in the Middle Ages fell to the ground like toy lead soldiers. This gave Balzac a very high evaluation.
And "Eugénie? Grandet is one of Balzac's most outstanding novels and a leap in his creation. Young Eugénie lived in Sommer since he was a child, and listened to his father Grandet. Grandet was mean and stingy, and became the richest man in the area by hoarding and speculation, so he was the first person. Respect? . People with status in Sommer are trying to curry favor with them and want to marry Eugénie. However, Eugénie fell in love with his cousin Charlie, a degenerate son from Paris, and gave him his savings for his travel expenses. Therefore, she was reprimanded and tortured by Grandet, and soon, the wife who defended her daughter was also abused to death by Grandet. Many years later, Grandet died and Eugénie inherited the inheritance. At this time, Eugénie's beloved Charlie returned to Paris, but Charlie lost Eugénie and married the duke's daughter in order to get the duke's money. But he never imagined that Eugénie's money was 20 times that of the Duke, and then Eugénie married the son of a businessman, but Eugénie became a widow at the age of 33, but people still addressed her as? Miss? .
There are also many people like Charlie in real life who do whatever it takes for their own interests. Their ambitions are like bile. If it is not stopped, it is an exciting liquid, but once it is stopped, it will become anxious and full of falsehood. They lack love, modesty, concentration, liberation and patience, especially sincerity and purity in their hearts. All they have is overconfidence, false cajoling and no morality. Being tolerant, patient, open-minded, keeping a low profile, learning to choose, giving up, caring for others, forging good interpersonal relationships, being calm and learning to wait are the way to be a man. Friends, let's pay attention to morality from now on! Stop being led by money! You should know that morality is more precious and important than money! !
Five: Balzac, the author of the article,19th century French great critical realism writer, the founder and outstanding representative of European critical realism literature. He wrote 96 ministers, short stories and essays in his life, with the overall title of "Human Comedy". Among them, the representative figure is Eugénie? Grandet "and" Gao Laotou ". /kloc-for more than 0/00 years, his works have spread all over the world, which has had a great influence on the development of world literature and the progress of mankind.
The greatest achievement of this novel is to create a typical miser. Balzac chose a series of typical details to show his stingy character.
Eugénie? Grandet's book is based on Eugénie? Grandet's story is the core throughout, and old Grandet is undoubtedly the most distinctive figure among them. Greed and meanness are his main characteristics.
In the eyes of old Grandet, money is above everything else. Without money, everything is over. His thirst for money and possessiveness almost reached a morbid level: he locked himself in a secret room at midnight. Caress, caress, admire his gold coins, put them in a bucket and tie them tightly. ? Before he died, he asked his daughter to spread gold coins on the table and stare at them for a long time so that he could feel warm.
Greed for money makes old Grandet a real miser: although he is rich, he still lives in a dark and dilapidated old house and distributes family food and candles personally every day.
Greed and meanness made old Grandet a slave to money and became ruthless. For money, he did whatever it took, and even lost his basic feelings, regardless of the love between father and daughter and the love between husband and wife: when he learned that his daughter had given all her savings to Charles, he went into a rage and put her under house arrest. "There is no fire to keep warm. He only lives on bread and water." When his wife was seriously ill, his first thought was that it would cost money to get a doctor. It was only when he heard that his daughter had the right to share the inheritance with his wife after her death that he immediately changed his attitude and made peace with her.
Greed and meanness are accompanied by the cunning and intrigue of old Grandet. He calculated every transaction carefully, which always made him profit in business and speculation. In addition, often pretending to stutter and play dumb is an effective weapon for him to deceive his opponents. Old Grandet's greed and meanness made him amass a lot of wealth, but he lost his human touch, alienated into a "python" that only devoured gold coins, and brought heavy pain to his family and daughter.
After reading it, we only feel rich or poor, and only sincere feelings are what we need to pursue persistently.
Old Grandet, an intransitive verb, is one of Balzac's most successful miser images and has become a classic figure in French literature and even in the history of world literature.
Eugénie Eugénie is the kindest and purest character in this novel, and the whole novel revolves around her tragic life. Her virtue is in a painful life with old Grandet, Charles, Germany? The comparison between Peng Feng and others gradually shows that the more hardships she encounters in her life, the more prominent the hypocrisy and ugliness of other characters around her, and the more obvious her kindness, tolerance and love.
The overbearing and stingy old priest Grandet gave Eugénie a "bleak and bleak childhood" and ruined her youth. For her, the only hope in life is the expected love. For the sake of love, she did not hesitate to take out all her savings and support her lover Charles to make a living overseas; For love, she bravely resisted her father and did not yield to his arrogance. For love, she waited for many years, thinking and caring about lovers thousands of miles away all day.
However, selfless love is exchanged for ruthless abandonment. Charlie made a fortune overseas. He was greedy for fame and fortune, abandoned Eugénie and wanted to marry the daughter of a noble. Eugénie, who suffered a huge blow, suffered alone and returned good for evil, still treated Charles with tolerance and paid off his father's debt for Charles with a huge sum of money, thus completing his marriage with a noble lady. Eugénie's love is pure and noble.
When people around Eugénie fell into the magic swamp of money and were willing to be swallowed up by it, his attitude towards money was unusual and detached. Although her wealth is increasing, money is neither strength nor comfort to her. "She doesn't care about gold at all, but yearns for heaven, lives a pious and loving life and has only some sacred ideas, constantly secretly helping the suffering people." Devotion to religion made her transcend personal pain and treat the world with compassion. She began to do charity with money and lived a frugal and simple life.
Balzac shaped Eugénie with sympathy and praise, which made people see a ray of light in this dark world covered by money.
Seven: I used my vacation to read Eugénie? I read the book Grandet in one breath. Now I know that this is an ordinary tragedy, with no poison, no sharp knife and no bleeding.
The greatest achievement of this novel is to create a typical miser. Balzac chose a series of typical details to show his stingy character. Grandet's dark old house was in disrepair, the stairs and steps were damaged by insects, and the maid almost fell down. He also blamed her for not choosing a solid place to stay. He personally distributed bread and food for every meal and candles every day, no more or less; On my daughter's birthday, a guest came, just lighting an extra candle; He restricted his wife's pocket money and even tried to scrape away what others gave her; When relatives came, he refused to add vegetables and asked the tenant to beat some crows to cook soup. When his wife was bedridden, his first thought was to ask the doctor for change. Grandet's meanness permeates his words and deeds. This despicable abomination lies in the insatiable desire to make money.
In the novel, it is described that Grandet's eyes radiate light at the sight of gold coins, which successfully shapes the characteristics of a miser. In the novel, Grandet seems to be an industrious and capable person, but his biggest failure lies in his view of money. I think if one day Grandet loses all his savings, he will face a nervous breakdown.
Grandet, the first man in the world, has accumulated a wealth of family rules, and brought nothing into the grave, except an illusory satisfaction, which can be said to be nothing. Grandet never owes anyone anything. Of course, he won't let others owe him anything. He never goes to other people's homes and never touches other people's things unless he is invited to dinner. It means absolute respect for private property rights. However, he took other people's labor for free without scruple, and planted private poplars on public land by the river without scruple. He thinks that hands are born to make money, and it is an unforgivable mistake to let money leak through your fingers. So Eugénie naturally gave his personal savings to his cousin? The most serious crime? Yes
People like Grandet are masters of money on the surface, but in fact they are slaves of money. Poor daughter is guarding his huge property, but she has no family and happiness, so she can only be hunted down by a group of unscrupulous people! I just think that if you live for a money word, you really should answer that sentence:? Some people are alive, but he is dead. ?
Eugenie Grandet Reading Notes II Grandet Mansion? Son, happiness is only in the sky, and you will know it in the future. ? Mother's last words confirmed Eugenie Grandet's life. When Eugenie Grandet said this, she finally realized her mother's helplessness and pain.
so this is it？ Human comedy? The most wonderful part is the classic character old Grandet, namely Eugenie Grandet. After reading the whole book, if old Grandet is a living person, I really want to ask him face to face what is the meaning of his life. Is he really happy? What's left of his life that stinks of copper except money?
Grandet, greedy, selfish, cunning and stingy, has a passion for money that ordinary people can't understand. He is a cold-blooded python, and he put a lot of money into Zhang Yongyuan's maw that can't satisfy his desire. ? Seeing and owning gold is Grandet's insistence? . Before she died, she also asked her daughter to push a wheelchair to the secret room where all the property was stored. After repeated research, she made sure that the money still existed quietly. The priest gave him a deathbed ceremony. Grandet's half-squinted old eyes saw the silver sacristy, and his spirit suddenly refreshed. When the priest asked him to kiss the golden cross, he even tried to get it, and his desire immediately ruined his life. Although Grandet was rich before his death, he was squeezed into an old house with a dark floor, which was destroyed by insects and could collapse at any time when he stepped on it, which puzzled Charles, who was new here. He also practiced family autocracy, and everyone's daily rations were distributed according to the quantity. Who would have thought that rich old Grandet would be furious for his daughter to buy white candles at her own expense to entertain relatives? Miser, good at calculation, good at collecting money by all means. He pretended to be deaf, and almost all the citizens in the city were taken in by him.
Even if he has rich wealth, what's the use? Money is his god. Be immersed in love with children, ethics devalued in his eyes, and the feelings of his wife and daughter were trampled to ashes by him. The poor old man put his daughter under house arrest for thousands of francs, which made his timid and virtuous wife faint with anger. Wealth has made him heartless, his personality has been defiled and distorted by money, and he has become greedy and stingy. His inner emptiness and animal instinct have already destroyed all the good feelings of human beings. Because he has infinite magic money in that society, he has become a god in people's hearts. People admire him, compliment him and praise him as the glory of Sommer. Money made Grandet and destroyed Grandet.
But old Grandet is not the only one who is fascinated by money. Broken-hearted Charles, betrayal of faith, giving up his love for the title, and German President who has been eyeing the Grande family? Peng Feng, a vain and hedonistic banker? Gerasin, they are undoubtedly the best in that society. They learn everything based on society well. Even the loyal maid Nanong finally saw the shadow of old Grandet.
Finally, the ending of the story can give us some comfort. With countless acts of kindness and justice, Eugénie went to heaven and left this era full of infinite desires and this corrupt world. Except Eugénie himself, who remembers that there was a Xiao Mu bench where innocent couples sat together and vowed to love each other forever? Who remembers the dark corridor? Black living room? The tragedy of love, the broken family, in this society where everyone regards money as god, tears are despicable. Maybe leaving can get rid of the filth of this world.
Grandet is a representative, and so is Eugénie. Can darkness and light really only be transformed? If money can talk and think, isn't that cynical?
I recommend it carefully.
