About This Novel
Grandet, a typical miser, "talks about the ability to manage money... He is a tiger, a python: he will lie there, squat there, look at the prisoner for a long time, then pounce on him, open his bloody money bag, and pour in a lot of gold and silver..." He symbolizes the God of modern people, the God of Wealth with boundless power and ruthlessness. In order to make big money, he exploits outsiders! To save a little money, he was mean to his family. His last words before his death were to tell his daughter to guard his property and give him an account in the next world. However, the 20 million he had saved in his life did not help his daughter's fate. The shackles of gold and unfortunate love contributed to the double tragedy of Eugenie Grandet. Among Balzac's novels, this is one of the most classically structured works. The article is concise, elegant and natural, and can be regarded as the simplest epic.
