After reading Les Miserables, there are 2000 words. Life without reading is like a dry spring. We need to find the Golden House and Yan Ruyu in the book. A person with empty spirit cannot be called a complete person. Reading can make us have a leap in thought. After reading 2000 words of Les Miserables, write down your feelings.
After reading Les Miserables 2000 words 1 I probably heard of the world famous book Les Miserables when I was in middle school, but I haven't read it for many years. The main reason is that I don't like reading foreign novels. The descriptions, narratives and arguments in them are too verbose and boring, almost unlike novels.
What prompted me to read this masterpiece this time is many people and things I have heard and seen for more than 30 years.
This masterpiece shows us a picture of the miserable life of the people at the bottom of France more than 100 years ago, which makes people cry and makes people think deeply.
Jean Valjean, the hero, is an industrious and poor honest man. He was sentenced to five years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread, because he couldn't bear to starve his nephew and niece. In prison, he was sentenced to 19 because he was afraid that his widowed sister's family would have no life and escaped from prison many times. The long-term persecution in prison gave him the idea of revenge against society. After he got out of prison, he stole the silver of Miriam, the bishop who kindly accompanied him, and robbed a child of his money. Instead of handing him over, the bishop gave him a pair of silver candlesticks, urging him to repay good for evil and give generously.
Under the guidance of the bishop, Jean Valjean's kindness, which had been mutilated for many years, germinated and was thoroughly remoulded. After wandering to a city, I made a fortune and built a factory because of technological innovation. After making a fortune, he devoted himself to helping the poor, was widely praised and was promoted to mayor. Fantine, the mother of a poor little girl Cosette, was forced to become a prostitute because she was unemployed and could not afford to raise children. She also received the selfless help of Jean Valjean. However, the good times did not last long, and he was finally arrested and imprisoned for stealing the bishop's silverware and seizing the children's money. Of course, as a result, the poor people he helped began to live a miserable life again.
Hugo, the author of this book, thinks that this is caused by hateful laws.
In the preface of this book, he said, "As long as there is social oppression caused by laws and customs ..." Hugo thinks that the reason of social misery is the oppression of laws and customs, and even just laws and just law enforcers are also the reasons of social misery. Hugo tried to tell us in his book that if the philanthropist Mayor Jean Valjean was not arrested for a little theft, the society would be different-just laws protected the interests of a few people, but at the same time created greater suffering. We have to say that this understanding has some truth, but we also have to say that this is the author's limitation in understanding.
Hugo is a man who pursues freedom and praises the revolution. He also believes that the lack of freedom and equality is also the cause of social suffering. He has romantic fantasies. He is optimistic that if society gives people freedom and equality, coupled with charity, then society will be very beautiful and no longer miserable. We also have to say that this is also the author's limitation.
In fact, it is not laws, bad habits or lack of freedom and equality that cause social suffering, but the economic system, which has little to do with politics.
Misery is an economic problem, and economic problems should be caused by the economic system, not politics. Zhang San is ill, so don't treat Li Si.
Economic system can be divided into private ownership and public ownership. Private ownership is the fundamental system of private ownership society, and public ownership is the fundamental system of public ownership society.
Private ownership is precisely the tragic source of private ownership society. As long as this system exists, society is a miserable society and the world is a miserable world, whether there is a democratic revolution or not; As long as this fundamental reason is not removed, the world will always be miserable, regardless of whether people are free and equal. In the autocratic society before 2000, private ownership existed, so it was a miserable world before 2000, not just France 100 years ago. In Denmark 100 years ago, private ownership existed, so there was a "little girl selling matches". Not only was Cosette in France a poor little girl 100 years ago; Today ... a thousand years later, if private ownership still exists, the world will still be miserable, and exactly the same thing will still happen, regardless of democracy, freedom and equality.
Hugo also said in the preface of this book: "Poverty makes men poor, hunger makes women degenerate, and darkness makes children weak." Is this sentence correct? Of course it is correct.
If young Jean Valjean was not poor, he wouldn't steal bread. However, Hugo did not delve into this sentence. What causes poverty, hunger and darkness? How to eliminate poverty, hunger and darkness? He didn't delve into it. Or he delved deeply and got a wrong answer-he thought that freedom, equality and charity could eliminate poverty, hunger and darkness.
He didn't know that private ownership caused poverty, hunger and darkness. If private ownership is not eliminated, poverty, hunger and darkness will exist forever, and tragic stories will be repeated again and again.
In private ownership, of course, the slogan of freedom and equality can also be put forward. Freedom and equality can certainly be done well, but freedom and equality without public ownership are rootless trees, castles in the air and illusory.
In private ownership, after the democratic revolution, although the autocratic hierarchy was abolished, although there were no restrictions imposed by hierarchy and laws, freedom and equality were restricted by money. Every penny has freedom and equality, and every penny has freedom and equality. Five-star hotel, can the poor enter? Although the law allows it, the poor still can't get in. Although it is hateful that the law does not allow inferior people to enter under the hierarchical system, after the democratic revolution, the hierarchical system was abolished and the poor still could not enter. Isn't this freedom and equality empty and slogan-like? The democratic revolution of private ownership can certainly abolish unreasonable laws, but it cannot abolish the money of the rich.
Can charity change the miserable world? Hugo said in his book: "The love of the upper class is never as poor as that of the lower class", which means that charity from the government is a drop in the bucket and useless. What about charity from the people? Hugo praised Jean Valjean for his charity. He seems to think it's okay. Perhaps he thinks that if all capitalists can be as charitable as Jean Valjean, then society will be better. Can it actually be like this?
Don't say that all capitalists are not kind, even if they are kind, they can't do it.
For thousands of years, private ownership has always had an unknown hidden rule in wealth distribution, that is, workers are not allowed to be rich. Why? Because people of insight believe that if workers are well paid, they can't spend all their wages in two years and earn enough money for two lives, then workers will lose their motivation to work, and they may have to travel, cultivate their morality and so on, so that no one will create wealth and capitalists will not be able to recruit workers. This is terrible.
Therefore, workers can only be given extremely low remuneration, so that they can only support their families, spend first and then earn, and can only work continuously. Everyone knows that people who release osprey, who release osprey, don't give osprey enough to eat, and they don't catch fish when they are full. And does the osprey think so? Of course, it is absolutely impossible for those who fly the osprey to consider the problem from the standpoint of the osprey. As a result, some people simply blatantly shouted: "The polarization between the rich and the poor is conducive to social development" and "the olive-type social structure is the best".
Therefore, private ownership society does not allow everyone to be rich, nor does it allow people to have equal economic status. In other words, the poverty and misery of some people are people of insight or private ownership society, which has long been planned and must exist. At the beginning of this article, I said that Jean Valjean was a hard-working poor man. Why does he say he is hardworking and poor? For more than 30 years, we have been taught to get rich through hard work. It stands to reason that efforts cannot be linked to poverty, only eating, drinking, gambling, idleness and poverty can be linked to it. However, what we see is that the vast number of hardworking workers and farmers are poor. Why? Is the osprey principle. So, can we expect private ownership to eliminate suffering? It didn't save so much pain.
Today, although this masterpiece has some limitations, it is still of great significance to progress. It depicts the miserable life of the bottom people with realism and actively explores solutions. Only its realism and its description of the miserable life of the bottom people are enough for many authors to learn. We have all read many novels, many plays and movies, but we seldom see those that take the bottom people as the theme and reflect their miserable lives. I know I only read a few books more than 30 years ago. Four Great Classical Novels, isn't it? No. Especially now, romance, fantasy, funny, funny, fighting, but not these. The author has no sense of social responsibility, just wants to make money and always caters to low tastes. Most people at the bottom, why didn't they write their realistic books? Please be more realistic, less romantic and more socially responsible. Of course, the lack of publication may also be a reason.
Comments on Les Miserables 2000 words Victor Hugo (1February 26, 802 ~1May 22, 885) is a French romantic writer, a representative figure of humanitarianism, a representative writer of the active romantic literary movement at the beginning of the19th century, and an outstanding bourgeois democratic writer in the history of French literature.
1848 In June, the people of Paris held a revolution, overthrew the July Dynasty and established the Republic of China. Hugo didn't understand the revolution at first, but when the big bourgeoisie plotted to destroy the Republic, Hugo became a staunch pacifist. 185 1 65438+February, louis bonaparte staged a coup, and Hugo took part in the anti-coup uprising of * * * and the party organization. After louis bonaparte came to power, the Second Empire of France was established. He pursued a policy of terror and ruthlessly suppressed the rebels. Hugo was persecuted and had to go into exile. During his exile, Hugo persisted in his struggle with Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte. He wrote political satirical pamphlets and poems and lashed out at Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte's dictatorship. Les Miserables was born in this period.
Les Miserables is Hugo's most important novel and a masterpiece in the treasure house of world literature. This is a romantic masterpiece based on realism. It discusses a series of social problems with its vast length, majestic momentum and profound content, and is known as the "social epic". This work embodies Hugo's humanitarian thought. Les Miserables is highly praised not only in France, but also abroad. Lev tolstoy thought it was the best French work at that time. Gorky once praised Hugo like this: "As a forum and poet, he thundered in the world like a storm, awakening all the beautiful things in people's hearts. ..... He taught everyone to love life, beauty, truth and France. "
The novel is huge, with five novels. The outline of this story is that the hero Jean Valjean is a worker from a poor peasant background. He has been helping his sister to raise seven children. Because of hunger and cold, he was sentenced to hard labor for stealing a piece of bread, escaped from prison many times and was severely punished. After he was released from prison, under the influence of Bishop milian, he decided to follow good advice, change his name and surname, run an industry, promote the prosperity of the town, win the respect of the local people and become the mayor. In order to save the innocent people who were mistaken for him, he surrendered himself and went to prison again. In order to fulfill his promise to Fantine, an abandoned female worker who died of poverty, she escaped from prison, adopted her daughter Cosette and lived in seclusion in Paris. Cosette grew up and fell in love with Marius. Marius took part in the 1832 uprising. When the uprising failed, he was seriously injured and was rescued by Jean Valjean at the risk of his life. In the end, Wei, a Changsha policeman who had been chasing Jean Valjean for a long time, had a mental breakdown in the face of years of self-sacrificing personality strength. Cosette married Marius, and the young man was very happy. Jean Valjean left a lonely life, and finally he died in Cosette's arms.
In fact, in today's society, there are also some despicable people who do whatever it takes for immediate interests. For example, some people take bribes by virtue of their authority; People who take stimulants in order to get good results in major competitions; There are even cheating in exams ... Any deliberate disguise will be seen through, and hypocrisy can't exist forever. The other is a person who can always maintain a bright, kind and tolerant noble sentiment under any circumstances. Jean Valjean became generous and kind after his new face, which influenced Changsha Wei, a cold and stubborn policeman who had been chasing him blindly. I was once again shocked by the great power of human nature. May there be more bright messengers like bishops around us, and more people can join the team of helping others and being brave. Society needs this.
Les Miserables first exposed the sharp contradictions and the disparity between the rich and the poor in capitalist society, described the painful fate of the lower classes, and put forward three problems that needed to be solved urgently in society at that time: "Poverty makes men poor, hunger makes women degenerate, and darkness makes children weak."
Secondly, it condemns bourgeois laws and points out that the existing bourgeois laws are low-level laws, which will only make criminals repeat crimes. Moreover, bourgeois laws are not conducive to the poor. Only severe punishment can eliminate evil, which will not only fail to achieve the goal, but will make a person who wants to turn over a new leaf worse. Humanism is an advanced law, which can make criminals abandon evil and do good and stop committing crimes. Only forgiveness and kindness are advanced laws, which can save people's souls and fundamentally eliminate evil, so Hugo regards it as an important way to transform society. Bishop miriam is the embodiment of this advanced law in his works. Under his influence, Jean Valjean was also kind to others, with many acts of kindness and heroism. Jean Valjean's good for evil finally revived Javert's "humanity", and finally he collapsed and committed suicide by throwing himself into the river.
Thirdly, the author described the uprisings of * * * and party member with hearty colors, and created a series of heroic images of * * * and party member. Although they all died heroically, their spirit of fighting for the people will always have shocking power. It embodies its humanitarianism.
Jean Valjean, the hero of this paper, began to change from a prisoner to a mayor because he stole a priest's precious metal utensils, but the priest generously forgave him, which moved him and changed his mind. Then he did a lot of kindness to others, saved many people in trouble, especially helped a prostitute, and adopted her daughter as his own. I did not hesitate to give up my position and identity for the sake of a mentally disordered person's life, but I still admitted that I was Jean Valjean, which moved me very much and his lofty cultivation, which also reflected the influence of Christianity. Finally, my daughter married, lost her spiritual support and still loved her. Even when her own daughter betrayed herself, she saved her son-in-law's life, even though she was old and weak in the war. Jean Valjean's life has proved the importance of inner cultivation, and goodness will eventually overcome evil. May there be more bright messengers like bishops around us, and more people can join the team of helping others and being brave.
Society needs such people, and the world needs such people. Only in this way can we create our life and create a kind, harmonious and bright world! The article said that although Jean Valjean later tried his best to help others and tried to make up for his previous crimes by doing more good deeds, people knew that he was a convict before, but they did not accept his kindness. In people's eyes, he is still a heinous villain. But Jean Valjean didn't mind. He still helped others with a kind heart. Finally, he died miserably, which fully reflected how unfair the society was at that time. Can a person make a mistake and never change it? We should believe that "we can correct our mistakes, but it's not a big deal", treat everyone with a sincere heart and trust others, so that you can gain the trust of others. If you have ulterior motives, you will never be trusted by others, and you will only be suspected and left out in the cold. Be brave in dedication, take pleasure in helping others, and be enthusiastic about others, so that you will be popular. After experiencing all kinds of hardships in life, he changed from a sinful man to a socially useful talent who benefited the society, thus gaining people's respect. Jean Valjean's later success was attributed to his attitude towards difficulties and hardships, which is worth learning.
Les Miserables is one of the most famous works of Hugo, a great French realist writer. It describes the different fates of people at all levels on the eve of the French Revolution, reflects numerous social contradictions at that time, praises the goodness and innocence of human nature, and lashes the ugly phenomena of the ruling class and the upper class.
Although it is in such a dark and unfair society, there is one person who is always competing with ugly forces-Jean Valjean. Perhaps it was his love, tolerance and noble soul that awakened people's deep conscience. What kind of person is he?
At the age of 25, he was sentenced to 19 years of hard labor for breaking a piece of glass and stealing a piece of bread. However, when he was finally free after a long sentence, he was a criminal and could not be accepted by society. But he proved to the world with practical actions that he is a great convict!
universal love
Everyone has love. But some people only love themselves, the people they love, and everything they have. Jean Valjean's love is for all the poor people, poor people, sympathetic people and respectable people in the world.
He used to be a mayor with countless properties, but he donated most of his money to charities and the poor. So he often goes out with money in his pocket and comes back empty. In addition, he often gives bread to the hungry and clothes to the cold; Visiting the poor and asking questions everywhere. For the poor, he is like an umbrella, the embodiment of justice.
One of the most representative is his concern for Fangqiu and Cosette. In order to realize Fang-CHO's wish to see his own daughter before his death, he did not hesitate to escape from prison again (this time, it was the price of a lifelong convict for him). Although Fang-machi died after failing to realize his wish, he continued to fulfill the promise of the unrelated dead man. ...
Finally, he rescued Cosette. And take care of her as her own daughter with her whole life.
What prompted him to give meticulous care to so many irrelevant people? Because he has regarded all the poor people in this world as his own children and taken care of every "child" with the obligations and responsibilities of "father". This kind of love is supreme, it is fraternity!
Noble soul
In this world, all great people have noble souls. Jean Valjean is such a great man.
An old man was pinned under a car, and the weight of the whole car was on his chest. At this time, unless someone lifts the car from below, he can't be saved. Who has so much power? Everyone knows that only one wanted convict-Jean Valjean-has such great power. Jean Valjean, the then "mayor of Madeleine", was nearby, but if he went to save him, he would admit that he was Jean Valjean. But if we don't save him, or hesitate for a few minutes, the old man will die. At this critical moment, he saved the old man at the risk of being recognized.
Another old man was wrongly arrested instead of Jean Valjean. Jean Valjean, as the "mayor of Madeleine", hesitated after knowing it. Because he knew that the real Jean Valjean was himself! But if he doesn't admit it, no one else will know. Moreover, he is a great "mayor" And that old man is just a cripple over half a year old. But when the old man was declared guilty, he publicly admitted that he was Jean Valjean! To this end, he gave up all the status and glory he had gained, and saved this unrelated man at the expense of re-entering the prison where he stayed for 19 years!
Seeing this, I was deeply shocked. Corresponding to the dark and ugly social phenomenon at that time, it was such a kind and selfless heart; And such a noble moral quality. In order to keep some strangers from being hurt, he took risks again and again, even willing to pay his own life. You know how much courage and strength it takes! All this shows us the nobility of a soul!
Of course, I also vaguely feel a layer of tragedy: in this era background, no matter how noble and great you are, you always seem isolated and thin in the struggle against fate and social ugliness. However, I think it is this disparity that highlights the true character of the protagonist Jean Valjean.
There is a true saying: the times make heroes. We also learned the noble virtues of heroes like Dong Cunrui and Lei Feng from childhood. But don't we need heroes in today's society? The answer is: mankind needs to develop and need the next hero! But where is he? What can he tell us?
Teachers and parents always teach us that we are talents and pillars in the new century! The implication of this sentence is that in a few years, the beauty and peace of the world will be created and maintained by us.
But in my opinion, our generation is still quite selfish, selfish, indifferent and numb! What teenager broke into the house and killed an eighty-year-old woman; What ran away after hitting someone by bike? How to see injured people from the ruins ... this is not uncommon. And these are things that our generation and the whole society should reflect on!
"As long as everyone gives a love, society will become better and the world will become more peaceful!" I hope our generation will live up to the expectations of the motherland and the people!
