1. Appreciation and interpretation of Natsume Soseki's "I am a Cat"

I am a Cat: Author: (Japanese) Natsume Soseki. Genre: Reality. The author of this article: May Xian and Heng.

The perspective of this book is very unique. The protagonist is a cat. From the perspective of a cat, it narrates the image of a group of intellectuals represented by cat owners in the early nineteenth century.

Although this cat is just an animal, in some aspects, it sees things more deeply than humans. For example, the comments about people's appearance and the opinions about human beings looking for trouble are all unique.

There seems to be nothing to say in the plot, just daily trivial matters. It mainly writes about Kusha Mi, Mi Ting, Han Yue, Dong Feng and other people who look down on the bourgeoisie, are shabby themselves, and sometimes say grapes are sour because they cannot eat grapes. For example, the novice monk in the book is very envious of those experienced lovers and romantic talents, even though he himself knows that those people are not very moral.

The main clue of the story is that the capitalist Kaneda wanted to recruit Hanyue as his son-in-law, but he was ridiculed by Kushami and Miting. In order to retaliate against Kushami, he found a group of students to constantly harass Kushami. In the end, Han Yue found a girl from an ordinary family, because although the scholar was pedantic and shabby, he had a refreshing and proud character. Mi Ting and Ku Sha Mi also said that Han Yue was lucky not to marry a girl from the Kaneda family (which was quite a relief).

Although these scholars have many shortcomings, they are worthy of recognition for not bowing to evil forces, not colluding with money, and insisting on their own way of life. Finally, Tatara Sanpei, who was good at flattering, married Miss Kaneda. But the cat who was a bystander got drunk and accidentally fell into the water tank. He felt enlightened, thanked God very much, and passed away.

However, the structure still feels a bit loose. For example, the cat from Lao Hei's family appears in the first chapter, but there is no more content later on, which really feels like an anticlimax (I have been looking forward to it). What foreshadowing is there?)

The discussion about the marriage at the end makes people feel that the author is very prescient. The development of personality makes people more and more difficult to get along with. This is a trend. People want to live in their own way. Although it is full of freedom, it also gives birth to loneliness. In today's society, loneliness is basically It’s a social disease. Who hasn’t felt lonely? Flying is a kind of happiness, although it requires paying the price of confusion. You can go wherever you want, but if you don't know where to go, you can only go around in circles and achieve nothing in the end... sigh.

Generally speaking, the best part of the novel is the commentary on certain philosophies, such as the appearance of human beings, and the rise of virtual fire. It tells true and profound truths in humorous language. 2. I want a reading note of "I am a Cat"

Well, you are very demanding, write good words and sentences yourself

"I am a cat. To say I don’t have a name yet.” Such a kind sentence opened the door to a cat’s heart for us.

This cat lives in the home of the teacher Kushami. It looks like an ordinary cat, but it has the same mind as a human.

This cat is very philosophical and has incisive language. When Natsume Soseki described the scene of a cat stealing rice cakes and keeping its mouth shut, on the one hand, he exaggeratedly depicted the various antics of the cat's desperate struggle, and on the other hand, he described the truth that the cat discovered three times in the process. "Well, I have discovered two truths, but the rice cake is still on my lips." Reading such a humorous sentence makes readers laugh. This cat can even produce Newton's first and second laws of motion. It is truly a cat living in a teacher's house!

In its eyes, what do humans look like? The master is a novice who suffers from reality, is unhappy when things happen, and has an unstable mood. He hides himself in his shell like an oyster. The cat laughed at the owner's vanity, self-esteem, and intellectual eccentricities. Another man, Mr. Mi Ting, who often comes to stay as a guest, is a cynical person. Every time I come, I have to brag a lot. There is also Hanyue, who pays attention to taste but is not good at dealing with things and studies some boring "knowledge". But they have one common characteristic, that is, they value knowledge and hate the glory and profit pursued by small citizens. Therefore, when they chat together, they often express their love and hate in humorous language, which reflects the complex mentality of intellectuals.

After reading this book, I thought: Arrogant people always think that they are great, that we have the most developed and smartest brains, but little do we know that in the eyes of those cats and dogs, people are nothing more than that. , there is no ultimate wisdom, no noble qualities, and sometimes they are not even as good as them. But what can we say?

At the end of the book, the cat accidentally fell into the water tank because he was greedy for beer. At first it was still struggling, but gradually it gave up, because it felt very comfortable, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and entered a wonderful and peaceful world. "Namo Amitabha, Namo Amitabha. Thank you, thank you." This was the cat's last thought, which shows how much it hates this ugly world.

Yes, this is the cat in "I Am Cat". 3. Lesson 27 "I am a Cat", find sentences that make you laugh from the text, excerpt them, and write them out

"I Am a Cat" is one of Japan's gifted books and one of the world's literary masterpieces.

Natsume Soseki was a talented person throughout his life. He only engaged in creation for ten years, but left behind a series of treasures. All his works generally reflect the painful and restless soul of the intellectuals in the Meiji period, and his arduous exploration between Eastern thinking and Western civilization, between illusory ideals and cruel reality, between pedantry and conservatism and the tide of money worship. and painful torture.

The author advocated sketching in his early days, describing nature and life as a sketch. It requires transcending the dirty customs of the vast mortal world, writing about the truth and beauty of the "selfless realm", and opposing naturalism crawling in the gloomy reality.

Therefore, although his early works are based on realism, they have a strong romantic atmosphere, are gorgeous, passionate, eloquent and full of wit. In the middle period, although he once advocated writing transcendent and ethereal sketches, he still couldn't get rid of the sorrow of the world and the sorrow of the soul condensed in the writing. Therefore, the writing style became more realistic and gained new depth.

In the late period, I was extremely disgusted with the real society with materialistic desires and inflated selfishness, and the fantasy of "let heaven get rid of selfishness" became the norm of people's hearts. But even he himself couldn't imagine what that Utopia would look like.

The writing style of his late works is desolate and solemn, and the metaphors of objects and things are subtle and superb. "I Am a Cat" can be said to be one of the "meditations" of the Yamato nation's spiritual feedback during the Meiji period.

The era of "Cats" is just after the Meiji Restoration. On the one hand, the trend of capitalism is rising. People are learning from the West, looking for individuality, calling for freedom, and self-awareness and market concepts are forming. On the other hand, the inherent values, cultural outlook, and customs of the East, which embrace both obsolescence and excellence, are rising in protest. Sunk, struggling in the sinking.

Faced with the new trend of thought, a group of impoverished intellectuals were both adaptable and ridiculed; both derogatory and helpless. They were panic-stricken and at a loss. They could only pass the hard time with jokes and cynicism. They are always mocking and making fun of others, but they are always being teased and ridiculed by fate and the times.

The protagonist is a cat. Seeing the world through a cat's eyes was a breakthrough in creative techniques at the time.

Today, there are often works that look at people on earth from the perspective of aliens, which also reflects the accumulated habits of the human world. Without a perspective that transcends reality, it will not be fully understood.

Mr. Cat is very philosophical and eloquent, and he is a very thorough satire on the weaknesses of human beings.

For example: "The praise and criticism of the world vary from time to time and place, just like my eyes. My eyes are just big and small, but the comments in the world are confusing right and wrong, and it doesn't matter if it is wrong. , because things inherently have two sides and two ends.

As long as you grasp both ends, you can turn your hands into clouds and turn your hands into rain. This is the skill of human beings to make changes. "He criticized society. He also has extraordinary insights: "...Maybe the whole society is a group of madmen.

Madmen get together to kill each other, quarrel with each other, yell at each other, and compete with each other. Could it be that the so-called society is the whole body A collection of lunatics, living up and down like cells do to living things? Maybe some of them have some sense of right and wrong and are reasonable, but they become obstacles, which is why they created the asylum and sent those people there, no? Let them see the light of day again.

In this way, those who are imprisoned in the asylum are the normal people, and those who stay outside the walls of the asylum may be crazy people everywhere. Think of them as lunatics; but when they become a group and gain strength, they become sane people.

The big lunatic abuses money and power and uses many little lunatics to show off his power. It is not uncommon for people to be praised as outstanding figures. It really confuses people. "Mao Gong is very knowledgeable and knows the ancient and modern world. He quoted or praised Homer and Pythagoras. , Descartes, Clare, Nietzsche, Beethoven, Balzac, Shakespeare, Confucius, Laozi, Song Yu, Han Yu, Bao Zhao, Yan Shu, Tao Yuanming, as well as the Book of Songs, The Analects of Confucius, Huainanzi, Zuo "Biography", "Historical Records" and countless other famous quotes from Chinese and foreign celebrities.

He also has a strong sense of freedom and equality. He said: "You can't retail the air, and you can't separate the sky, so isn't it unreasonable to privately own the land?" Mao Gong criticized the current shortcomings, and uttered a series of eternally thought-provoking aphorisms, such as: "Our family cannot We know exactly what force makes the earth rotate, but we know that it is money that makes society move... Even the sun can rise safely from the east and set safely in the west, which is entirely due to the blessings of industrialists."

"Officials were originally servants and agents of the people. In order to facilitate their work, the people gave them certain powers. However, they suddenly changed their minds and believed that the power was inherent in themselves and should not be discussed by the people."

Mr. Cat criticized the Yamato soul and said: "Because it is a soul, it is often in a trance. General Dongxiang has a Yamato soul, fishmonger A Yin has a Yamato soul, liars, kidnappers, and murderers also have a Yamato soul.

"Yamato Soul!" The Japanese shouted, coughing like a lung patient, and shouted "Mao Gong" dared to despise the powerful and encourage innovation.

He depicted crows defecating on the bronze statue of Marshal Togo and pasted Ito Hirobumi’s photo upside down on the wall. He said: "If you don't read Shakespeare from the waist down, literature will perish..." The cat laughed, laughed, and cursed, all of which became an article.

The laughter transformed from sorrow is the most unbearable. The cat has so many magical powers, so much talent and knowledge, and is just and sharp, so he is certainly a magical cat, a strange cat, and a holy cat.

Seeing the world through its eyes, sadness turns into laughter, how can it not be harsh and harsh! Of course, he is also a vulgar cat and a stupid cat. He pretended to be a sage and gentleman, made many mistakes, suffered a lot, and even didn't know that a wine barrel would drown a cat, and finally lost his life.

Although the novel looks at the world through "cat's eyes", as it is written, the subject of creation is still a "me" among humans, or a neighbor of humans, or another other person (cat) on the earth. If we observe human beings as "I" in the universe or as "he" in eternity, I don't know what kind of wonderful book will be written.

The novel also has a breakthrough in structure. It is based on the cat's vision. It can be long or short, moving east and west. There is no story with a beginning and an end, and there is no logic of plot progression, but it is still enjoyable to read.

There was a trend of prose culture in Japanese novels, and the prose culture of some novels was a reflection of the lack of fullness. In "Cats", at the time, it was a charming innovation.
