About This Novel
"The Shackles of Humanity" is Maugham's masterpiece and has an obvious autobiographical color. The protagonist of the novel, Philip Carey, lost both his parents when he was young. Unfortunately, he was also born with a disability. He spent his childhood in an indifferent and unfamiliar environment, making his character withdrawn and sensitive. The years he spent in boarding school made him suffer from the unreasonable school system, and when he entered the society, he experienced pain in love. On the bumpy road of life, he had to struggle hard every step he took, but Kaili, who was independent in thought and personality, had been trying to break away from the two shackles that restricted his spirit, religion and petty citizen consciousness, and tried to find the true meaning of life in the chaotic and chaotic life. I have read the whole life of a person in this novel, and no one can describe the desolation and separation deep in the human heart so aptly. I saw myself in Maugham's writings, and saw the fear and pursuit of life in this world.

What is the meaning of life? This is the arduous journey that Philip pursued and cracked!
The so-called maturity is just recognizing yourself and learning to accept imperfection. Sometimes it takes courage to give up.
