Lifetime
About This Novel
"Life" (1883) is Maupassant's first attempt at a full-length novel. This novel attempts to analyze and explore life through the ordinary and bitter life experience of a woman. The story is told in a straightforward manner without any trace of tailoring, but it gives full play to the author's expertise in "line drawing" techniques, enabling the novel to achieve the artistic effect of "moving people's hearts with pure truth". In addition, the author is good at using beautiful prose with rich local flavor to show the charming scenery and human customs of the seaside villages in Normandy that he is most familiar with, which adds to the charm of the novel.

We can also see from some of Maupassant's short stories some of his views on this society, and even his use of his writing techniques to enter the literary world and leave his own name in the literary world.
Love is just a beautiful fantasy of lust
The life of Joanna described by Maupassant is actually the life of most ordinary women. They were taught by their parents to care for their husbands and raise their children. Even today, society has a certain space for women to develop, but due to thousands of years of traditional education, women's status is still suppressed by men. The awakening of women is not only It only requires her own efforts, but also the support of society and education. Yona has longed for the beauty of love since she was a girl, treating love as everything, and then she was disappointed in love and relied on her children, but she never thought about how she could live a better life. This is also a portrayal of most women. One sentence in the book describes love very realistically. As long as the man is tall and the woman is good-looking and ambiguous, the relationship can quickly flow between them. It made me have a great disgust for the relationship between men and women. This is not true and naked. The relationship between men and women is nothing more than that!
At the beginning of the article, some of the life situations of Maupassant, the author of this book, and some of the intersecting relationships around him have been described. He has a very strong writing ability. Judging from Maupassant's affairs, it does not mean that you can't do it if you can't do it.
I have been reading books recently with one purpose, that is, how to live. I heard that this is a tragedy, but I see a lot of life. It made me feel the beauty of the world.
