Eugenie Grandet Goriot

About This Novel
"Petro Goriot" and "Eugenie Grandet" are Balzac's masterpieces. The basic theme of "Human Comedy" is reflected here, and its artistic style best represents Balzac's characteristics. The intertwining of the careerist's struggle for fame and wealth in "Old Man Goriot" and the desperate fatherly love of Goriot make the content of the novel even more bizarre and touching. "Eugénie Grandet" successfully created a cunning, greedy, stingy bourgeois typical, and through his fortune, highly summarized the history of the redistribution of social wealth and power after the French Revolution.

🔥Highly recommended📖❾Balzac's "Eugénie Grandet Patro Goriot"★★★★★ 🛌Weidu Book 615📖 Book 132 in 2023🍊2023.09.06 🔥Recent hot topics: Luo Yonghao said in the live broadcast room that Yu Minhong is "🐔Iron cock and a native chicken🐔", "very cunning, wretched, and stingy, but he is really not that bad." I don't know how to distinguish this, after all, we have never been exposed to Yu Minhong. I have read his book "I Was on the Brink of Collapse", and I admire his experience and his unyielding spirit of not giving up when facing pressure and difficulties, and his psychological quality of persevering and withstanding the pressure. I lack this ability myself, so I have a kind of worship mentality that I want to learn from what I don't have but others are great at. 🍌🍌I just finished reading Balzac's "Eugénie Grandet, Patriot Goriot" and haven't written a book review yet. Mr. Grandet, the famous miser in the world whom I have known since I was a child, happens to be the biggest "Iron Rooster". I remember this description in the article: "Before old Grandet died, he asked his daughter to put gold on the table. He kept staring at it with his eyes, like a child who just knew how to watch. He said: "This makes my heart warm! At last he called Eugenie forward, and said to her: "Take good care of everything, and come over there and give me your account." ""I was shocked. This guy really took his stinginess and greed to the extreme. The most painful thing in the world is that you can't take your money with you when you die. He couldn't leave it to his daughter. When he died, he threatened her that she should manage the money well and not spend it randomly. She would have to report to him in the world after death. People say that heaven is good, but money is the only thing that cannot be forgotten. Even if you are reluctant to give up, what can you do? But her daughter did the opposite, helping her cousin pay off her uncle's debt, allowing her sweetheart to live the life she wanted, and in the end she did many good deeds by herself. Ended alone. Maybe her daughter was trying to atone for her sins. 🍝Money itself is not sinful, the key to how it is used lies with the owner of the money. How much money is too much? There are always people who are richer than you. As an ordinary person, money is the best protection. If the problem you encounter cannot be solved with money, then it will be even more difficult to solve it without money. "Money is not everything, but having no money is absolutely impossible." I don't want to criticize Grandet and the "Iron Rooster" blindly, because money is our greatest sense of security to a certain extent, especially in today's society. It doesn't matter if those of us working as "996" workers don't dare to have a second or third child, after all, isn't it a matter of money? Isn't it just for the three meals a day on the stove that we work so hard all day long, and for the comfort and dignity of our family's life? I am a very insecure person. I have seen too many people around me who are too old to enjoy their old age. I seem to see that if I don't have enough savings in the future, I may experience this sadness. 🍖But from another perspective, no matter how you make money, money is also for serving people, in order to live a more comfortable and decent life. You don't live for money, you need money to live🫰. Therefore, we must spend what should be spent and save what should be saved. The ancients talked about "increasing revenue and reducing expenditure", and it is good to be able to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. If we can't open source, we can only reduce expenditures. After all, you have to find a way to make money, otherwise living such a poor life will be really boring. 🦪I am not too disgusted with Eugenie's cousin Charles in "Eugenie Grandet", because you have not experienced other people's pain, so don't criticize others from the moral high ground. You have really had such an experience. The high possibility is that you are not as good as others. 🫕My fellow countryman Dong Yuhui is a self-proclaimed "arty" scholar, but a person who plans to sell 1.5 Million copies of Teacher Chi Zijian's "The Right Bank of the Ergun River" deserves respect and support. When he bowed for the last time, I don't know how he felt in his heart. Anyway, what I felt was a kind of reluctance. A way to leave the place where you once struggled, a place that brings you a bigger world and more pressure. I don't know what the future will bring. I hope that he can always use the books he has read as his foundation. In the days to come, he can do whatever he wants, instead of being able to do whatever he wants. I don't want him to be turned into Charles in "Eugénie Grandet" by a "miser", and I don't want him to be forced by a "careerist" to be like Rastignac in "Petro Goriot", a person who will do anything to climb up. He believes that "In this society that devours each other, innocence and honesty are useless. If you don't blast them in like a cannonball, you have to get in like a plague. Innocence and honesty are useless." 🍶I don't want me, my fellow countrymen, or all those who love reading to "go to hell and have to stay." "Reading is a temporary refuge." Let us escape from reality and find peace and relief in this pure land without worries and interruptions.
