2. 10 reading experiences of Eugenie Grandet
"Eugenie Grandet" exposed the ugly face of the capitalists at that time and lashed out the darkness of society. The heat of the world. Below are 10 articles I compiled about my reading experience of Eugenie Grandet. You are welcome to read, share and learn from it. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
Reading experience of Eugenie Grandet 1
On Sunday afternoon, I read a foreign masterpiece "Eugenie Grandet" , the author of this novel is Balzac. The main character in the book, Eugénie Grandet, is a typical character of cunning, greedy and stingy. I have many thoughts after reading it.
The main content of the novel: There is a rich man in a small town - Eugenie Grandet. Although he is very rich, he is very cold, including towards himself and his family. He ignored his brother's bankruptcy. If it weren't for the fear of dividing the property, he would not have treated his wife when she was sick. He didn't want his daughter to get married, in which case he would have to "lose" a large amount of dowry money. When he When he was about to pass away, he still wanted his daughter to take good care of the gold.
This masterpiece has a strong ironic meaning to the protagonist after artistic processing. But in real life, we will also find more or less the shadow of the protagonist of the novel in individual people. Some people are sometimes blinded by the temptation of money, because they care too much about the enjoyment of money, and show indifference when others are in danger. Some people even embark on the path of crime for the sake of enjoyment. If each of us is dominated by money, then our lives will lose meaning, and we will not enjoy the happiness of caring for others and reaping happiness from giving.
For example, at the beginning of this year, a severe drought occurred in Gansu Province and a magnitude 7.1 earthquake occurred in Yushu, Xinjiang. In order to help people in the disaster areas regain their confidence, some students wrote touching letters of condolences. In the charity donation activities organized by the school, students donated their pocket money one after another. Although it is just a few words and a small amount of pocket money, aren't these enough to express our primary school students' sympathy and concern for the people in the disaster area? I think these will also be a great encouragement to them.
Money is not everything, but you can do many meaningful things with it. If you show love to others, you will also gain happiness. So don’t take money too seriously, because there are still many beautiful things in the world that money cannot buy. The novel "Eugenie Grandet" caused me to think deeply...
Eugenie Grandet's reading experience 2
This is a descriptive book A miser's book. Mr. Grandet in the book can hardly be described as "loving money as much as his life" because he believes that money is more important than life and family love. The image of a miser is vividly written by Balzac. , the greed of human nature is vividly depicted.
I have to say that Mr. Grandet is a very shrewd person who knows how to do business. I admire his resourcefulness and courage. He knew how to seize opportunities and bribed the auction supervisor during the Revolution. As an official, he bought the best local vineyards at a very low price. When he was the mayor of a town, he used his authority to make a lot of conveniences for himself, and he unknowingly took a lot of petty advantages during his tenure. , and when the Marquis was short of money, he bought the Marquis's territory at a very low price. Mr. Grandet is a shrewd, courageous and resourceful man. It is inevitable that he will become the most famous local businessman from a cooper. What's more, he also has a plan. His first transaction He has calculated carefully, and he has the skills of a tiger. He will not be impatient and will always wait until the maximum benefit is obtained before making a sale. He is a very good hunter.
However, he hardly spends the money he earns. He uses every means to reduce expenses. He regards all expenses as waste. He minimizes all consumption and reduces all unnecessary expenses. For this reason, he did not even go to church. The God in his heart must be money! He always pursued maximizing profits, so much so that he left a family fortune of 17 million after his death.
I think loving money is not a big sin, because how many people in the world don't love money? What's more, Balzac did not write him as a morally corrupt villain. However, Mr. Grandet is indifferent to family affection, uses his wife as a shield in business, ignores the health of his wife and children, ignores the happiness of his wife and children, and ignores the life and death of his wife and children. This kind of human indifference is so terrible, Mr. Grandet's disregard Due to his desire for money, he was a very qualified miser and miser, and even when he died, he threw himself on the gold-plated cross.
Gold is the only thing that makes him moved, emotional, and concerned. I can’t help but feel pity for Eugenie. She lives in a wealthy family, but she is not rich. She has a father, but she is not rich. I have never felt a father's love. She even remained a widow her entire life, with no husband, no children, no relatives, and all she had was huge, emotionless wealth. The story of "Eugenie Grandet" has to be said to be a tragedy. It perfectly reproduces the thoughts and mentality of money worship and miserliness, and tells us that this is a common problem among human beings.
Eugenie Grandet’s reading experience Chapter 3
The novel creates for us a hateful image of a miser--Old Grandet, who takes pleasure in accumulating wealth. He has a wealth of money, but his clothes are shabby and his living room is simple; he is eloquent and has a set of theories, but when he talks about business, he cunningly pretends to be a stammer; he says he longs for family affection, but when his wife is critically ill, he I am reluctant to spend money to see a doctor. He has never enjoyed or been happy in his life, because all he thinks about is how to calculate others, how to make more money, and how stupid and sad it is to give up everything for money. Before he died, he still thought about his vast wealth, and at the moment of his death struggle, he did not forget to reach out to the priest's golden cross. In front of money, happiness is worthless. The capitalist society at that time was like this, and he was just a microcosm. Through him, we saw a society that was only interested in profit and calculated against each other. His life deeply exposed the pure money relationship of bourgeois families.
The protagonist of the novel, Eugenie, is a regrettable daughter. She does not understand the disputes of interests and does not pursue the vanity of money. But the sad thing is that she was born in such a family and such a society. Such a father. There was also a turmoil in her life. She tried to break through the shackles of family society and pursue her own happiness. However, her society did not allow it. Her love eventually became an illusion in such a society. They only valued her. of money. Such an innocent and pure person is destined to become a tragedy in such a social environment.
After reading the work, I felt heavy. Every character in the book gave me a strong inner shock. What is the purpose of life? In today’s society, many people are working hard for money, power, fame, and desires, intrigues, and suppressing each other. For example, some people commit crimes by robbery, and some profiteers manufacture fake and shoddy goods. They have a relationship with Grandet and Charles. What's the difference, they got what they wanted, but are they happy? Don't choose a wrong path, that will only give you temporary satisfaction. But as time goes by, you will understand how dirty and ugly that road is, and eventually you will understand that it is meaningless. Life is full of black tones. So what is life for? Maybe just a few close friends, a few people you love and those who love you, some enough money, a conscience worthy of yourself, a goal that suits you and a fulfilling life are enough . When you leave this world, if you can have a clear conscience, your life will be full of fun and more exciting!
Eugenie Grandet’s reading experience 4
Recently I read "Eugenie Grandet" written by the famous French writer Balzac. The plot of this work is fascinating and the underlying truth is thought-provoking.
"Eugenie Grandet" mainly tells the story: Grandet, a stingy and shrewd millionaire, has an innocent and beautiful only daughter who falls in love with a bankrupt cousin. In order to help him "enter the world", he did not hesitate to help him with all his money, which angered his father who loved money as much as his life. There was a fierce conflict between father and daughter, which scared the timid and virtuous mother to the point of becoming ill. However, the infatuated girl who lost her father and her youth in anticipation ended up with a heartless man who returned rich. There is such a truth permeated between the lines of this work - the desire for money is a very powerful destructive force, which is enough to change a person's character and disintegrate a family.
This is a tragic and pitiful ending. Grandet was a cooper, and he became the richest man in Somme by relying on his shrewdness, cunning, ruthlessness, and opportunistic methods. He is a typical miser, he cares about every penny for a long time. Although his family wealth is unparalleled, he lives a frugal life and saves everything. His family has to suffer along with him. He doesn't care about others, but only thinks about how to make more money. He ruined his daughter's happiness.
Why did Grandet become so stingy? Because it was a capitalist society at that time, money was a need at that time, and he was willing to do anything for money. He has a beautiful daughter named Eugenie Grandet. There are many suitors around her, but these suitors are all after her father's money. They do not hesitate to use various means to obtain Grandet's family property. This shows the attraction of money at that time.
Eugenie Grandet’s Reading Experience Chapter 5
During this holiday, I read the book "Eugenie Grandet". It was written by French critical realist writer Balzac.
Grandet is a very stingy person. He is very rich, but he is reluctant to spend any money. He has a famous saying, which is - "Gold can keep me warm." His stinginess can be shown everywhere, for example: the crumbs of bread that fell on the table while eating were picked up and eaten in his mouth, and he even saved eggs for a day; when his wife was critically ill, even the doctor Even after his wife died, he defrauded Eugenie of the property her mother had given her and gave it to him. He watched his brother go bankrupt and ignored him. Instead, he sold his brother's only remaining house and put the money into He even forced his nephew Charlie away, causing Eugenie's emotional distress, etc. Balzac used his sharp writing to create the image of a typical miser. But his daughter, Eugenie Grandet, is a kind person with a simple heart. I think it is admirable that when she fell in love with Charlie and her father forced him away, she still thought about him and remained loyal to him without changing her heart. Charlie made money through human trafficking, colluding with pirates and other activities, and also gained the title of "nouveau riche". Because he had seen Grandet's stingy behavior in the past, he thought that Eugenie's family was very poor and would not have any dowry, so it would not be economical to marry her. So when he came back, instead of finding Eugenie, he married the daughter of a marquis. After seeing that, I felt very angry. Is that perfect first love so worthless? I am also very happy for Eugenie. Fortunately, Charlie does not understand that Eugenie is rich, otherwise, even if he comes back and ends up with her, Eugenie got married, but it was for money, not for the relationship. Can we still live together like that? Eugenie was heartbroken after suffering an emotional blow. Resentful, she married a man who wanted her fortune. And this greedy man was not short of money! Fate played a trick on this greedy man - he died not long after getting married, but his property was put into Eugenie's bag! In this way, Eugenie has eight dollars every year. An income of one hundred thousand francs! What I like about Eugenie is that although she still retains her father's tradition of being very frugal, she is very generous - donating money to the church and gaining people's respect.
In a witty and humorous way, Balzac reveals to us the greedy nature of the bourgeoisie and the cold money relationship between people in capitalist society. I am very lucky to have a father and mother who really love me, and friends with whom I can talk about everything!
Eugenie Grandet’s reading experience Chapter 6
Some people say that money is everything. , but some people deny it, so what is the answer? I have long heard that Grandet is an authentic miser, and finally I found the answer in a book.
Grandet was a cooper before. The insidious and cunning old Grandet used various means to get a large fortune. He always regarded money as his God. For money, he did everything to his family. Very strict, even not allowing them to buy candy, Eugenie fell in love with her cousin Charles, who became bankrupt because of his father. The innocent Eugenie gave all her savings to Charles. However, this move was found out by her father, who put her under house arrest. What was even more hateful was that he only allowed the 23-year-old Eugenie to drink cold water and eat dry bread every day! As a result, her mother became ill.
When he learned the news, Grandet's first thought was not how to save his wife. He even thought that hiring a doctor would cost a lot of money! In the end, he watched his wife die. What impressed me most was Grandet's final miserliness - before he died, his life seemed to retreat into his eyes, and he kept looking at the door of the secret room where the treasures were piled. When Eugenie took out the gold coins, he kept thinking. After watching for several hours, the priest brought the gilded cross to his mouth and asked him to kiss Christ. However, Grandet used a frightening movement to grab the gilded cross and used all his strength.
After reading this book, I lamented Eugenie's life. She lacked father's love since she was a child, and only her mother gave her the warmest embrace and comfort; I persisted for a long time, but what was waiting for her was summer. You, a heartless man who has returned from fortune; among this group of insidious, cunning, hypocritical and ugly people, in this era of intrigue, Eugenie's kindness, tolerance, love and innocence are becoming more and more precious.
Therefore, money is not everything. We should learn to manage finances and use money rationally. We cannot be like Grandet, who had a lot of money in his life but was reluctant to use a penny. If you treat money as God, it will torture you like the devil.
Money brings freedom to the whole life, not a kind of power. We should not only be rich in money, but also be spiritually rich like Eugenie, with a heart as noble as gold, radiating the light of sincerity and love.
Eugenie Grandet's Reading Experience Chapter 7
Balzac was the greatest French novelist in the 19th century, a master of typical creation, and a world-famous master of realism. As he said, "Eugenie Grandet" is an "ordinary tragedy without poison, no sharp knives, and no bloodshed"
In this chaotic society, we can clearly see the times The torrent pushes some people to the top of the wave, and makes others sink to the bottom; money replaces family status as a symbol of power, and the amount of wealth becomes the new standard for classifying classes. All historical content of essential significance with money worship as the core: people "no longer believe in God, only worship the golden calf", and money has become the mechanism and lever of the entire society.
Grandet’s palace was very deep, he didn’t talk much, and he moved even less, but he was focused on money. There is such a description in the article that is very appropriate, “He locked himself in a secret room in the middle of the night. He caressed, caressed, and admired his gold coins, put them in the bucket, and tied them tightly. "Even when he was dying, all his vitality retreated into his eyes. When he could open his eyes, his eyes were filled with tears. He immediately turned to the door of the secret room full of treasures, and asked his daughter to spread the gold coins on the table, staring at it for a long time, thinking that this would warm his heart.
Grandet's stinginess is also "extraordinary". He regards all expenditures as waste, and luxury enjoyment is an intolerable vice. Despite his wealth, he still lived like a farmer, drinking bad wine, eating rotten fruit, and living in a gloomy old house that was in disrepair. The stairs and steps were all eaten by insects. The maid almost fell. It's also because he didn't choose a sturdy place to stay. On his daughter's birthday, there were guests coming, but they just lit one more candle than usual, served food, and asked the servants to shoot more crows.
People who are stingy to the core believe that their hands are designed to make money, and it is an unforgivable mistake to let money leak out from between their fingers. Therefore, when she learned that Eugenie had given her private savings to her cousin and lover, she went so far as to cancel her daughter's inheritance rights to the property, put her under house arrest, and only gave her water and bread every day, which gradually led to her daughter's love tragedy. When his daughter was forced to give up her right to inherit property, he was both "grateful" and "enlightening" and said: "Son, you gave me a way to live. I have a life! But this is you paying me back what you owe me. We It’s over. This is called a fair transaction. Life is a transaction. In this way, Grandet can no longer be described as crazy, because he did not grasp his money in a timely manner. His desire made desire control him. Spending his life in a state of excessive desire, this miserable person reaps the consequences.
Should we selectively let go of some desires to better grasp the fleeting life?
Eugenie Grandet’s reading experience Chapter 8
Put down this book and understand It has captured the feelings of some people who are willing to give up everything in order to gain power and money. Isn’t this a kind of loss of humanity?! While those people are pursuing money and power, how many people are innocently harmed? The author Eugenie in the novel is an innocent victim who is manipulated by such a society with declining moral standards and rampant desires.
Grandet, Eugenie’s father, is an out-and-out miser, no less than Abagong in Molière’s novel. When Grandet was the mayor of the town, he used "local interests" as an excuse to build several roads directly to his industrial base. When the Marquis was in financial difficulty, he bought Floy at a very cheap price. The territory of Fenghou. It must be said that he has a good business acumen. It is precisely because of his courage and means that he became the richest man in Somo City. It is such a rich man who is not only stingy to others, but also very stingy to his own family. He personally distributes the candles he lights every day and the food he eats. Even when his brother committed suicide after going bankrupt and his nephew was forced into trouble, he did not offer help or sympathy. When he was dying, he did not forget the word "money".
As the saying goes, money is something external to the body. We don’t have to be as stingy with it as Grandet. As long as we don’t waste or extravagant it, it is a wise approach.
Let’s talk about the Grassin and Crouch families. In order to become in-laws with Grandet and gain benefits from Grandet, the stingy old man, they started a fierce open and public struggle. Secret fighting. At this moment, Eugenie was like a weak lamb that might be ravaged at any time. In front of her were hungry wolves such as Grasan and Crouch, and in the middle was Grandet. , he is guarding the lamb like a Tibetan mastiff with no expression of emotion or anger. If the hungry wolves want to have a feast, they must first fawn over this ferocious Tibetan mastiff.
Throughout the ages, every party has paid a heavy price in the struggle for power, even the victorious party. Therefore, what I hope is that on this road filled with blood and corpses, there will no longer be a brutal fight for power and gain. I think everyone should keep to themselves and use their hard-working hands and wise minds to obtain a happy and happy tomorrow.
Eugenie Grandet's reading experience Chapter 9
The story of "Eugenie Grandet" has no shocking events and no legend at all. As the author said: "This is an ordinary tragedy without poison, no sharp knives, and no bloodshed."
I like this book because I like the beautiful and kind-hearted Eugenie. She is gentle and tolerant, and has always been submissive to her stingy father. But for the sake of love, she bravely gave all her gold coins to her cousin Charles. When her father routinely asked her to show her gold coins, she was locked in a room by her father because she could not produce the gold coins and was given only cold water and water. bread. Because of this incident, her timid but virtuous mother was frightened to the point of becoming ill, and in the end, what she was waiting for was a heartless man who returned rich.
I think such a woman, in such a living environment, dares to give gold coins to the person she loves for the sake of love, and is not afraid of conflict with her father, who has always been obedient. She is really brave.
Eugenie is a heart-wrenching girl. Her father regards wealth as life, and her mother is timid and cowardly and cannot protect her at the critical moment; the Crouch family and the Grassan family She was used as a springboard to inherit a huge family fortune; and her beloved cousin Charles, after getting rich, in order to obtain the title of new rich, squeezed into the official position in the future, married Miss O'Brion, and ultimately lost his son to her. Eugenie, who suffered a huge blow, endured the pain alone, and repaid Charles with kindness. She still treated Charles tolerantly, and spent a huge sum of money to pay off Charles's father's debt and complete his marriage to the noble lady. Such love is pure and noble. Eugenie's attitude towards money is also unique. Despite her growing wealth, money was neither a power nor a comfort to her. "She didn't care about gold at all. She only yearned for the Kingdom of Heaven. She lived a pious and loving life with only some holy thoughts, and constantly secretly assisted the suffering people." Her devotion to religion allowed her to transcend her personal pain. , treat the world with compassion.
She used her money to set up charities and lived a frugal and simple life.
The character of Old Grandhe is also very special. Most people's stinginess is towards others, but old Grande was more than that. He is stingy to his family, and he is also very stingy to himself. For him, money is just an illusory sense of satisfaction. He held a lot of gold coins, looked at the brilliant color of the gold coins, and listened to the sound of the gold coins hitting each other, which gave him a sense of satisfaction. He has lost his humanity because of money. After learning that his daughter had given all the gold coins to Charles, he believed that money was more important than family ties, so he imprisoned his daughter. In his heart, money defeated humanity.
Balzac's work creates one character after another with distinctive personalities, which shocks every reader. for this work. Different people will have different feelings.
Eugenie Grandet’s reading experience Chapter 10
Even if Balzac’s Grandet had a fortune, he was reluctant to spend a penny; When it comes to money, he will also pretend to be wealthy. But don’t get me wrong, I’m not praising Grandet for being low-key, but I’m talking about the hypocrisy of some people at this moment. Balzac is famous for "Eugénie Grandet". If I also create a person opposite to Grandet, then I should also be famous!
In the minds of many people , "Grandet" is synonymous with miser. Comparing the wealth of his brother, a Parisian business magnate, we can see that he was extremely wealthy, yet he was unwilling to spend a penny. The simplicity of their living quarters and frugal meals will undoubtedly surprise everyone. I always ask myself when reading: Does he have to do this? Property can't be taken to their so-called paradise. With so much property, he should at least live a middle-class life. At least use some of the money to provide necessary conditions for your family! Although having money does not necessarily mean you will be happy. It's okay to be stingy at ordinary times. My nephew was in trouble, so I should help him at this time, but he didn't. I think the saddest thing about his life was that he was still thinking about money before he died - when the priest said mass for him, he actually took the priest's gold cross. , and his stinginess had a huge impact on his relatives - his wife's death had a lot to do with him, and Tour's change of heart also brought great conditions to him. Because of the word "money", he lived a very hard life.
But Mademoiselle Eugenie is great. At first, she was kind and pure: later, although she was stingy in her own life, she spent her money on public construction and the poor.
Grandet died, and his daughter only inherited his stinginess in private life. However, Eugenie had no children, and there was no one who was greatly influenced by him. Grandet gradually withdrew from the stage of history. But now, the team of people who are opposite to him has gradually grown. I will call these people "anti-Grandet" for the time being.
Almost all people want to get attention from others. They desire wealth, status and glory. Some people realize their own value through their own efforts and strength, but others do not understand their depth. Such people can often achieve great things. But some people are different. They not only show strong vanity in wealth, but also deliberately "enhance" their status. In vain to increase one's "sparkling points", one will only end up being rejected by others. Such people are "anti-Grandet".
"Grandet" is pitiful, and "anti-Grandet" is even more pitiful.
