Insight into happiness - Comment on "Green Light"
This story was written in 1882. Compared with the social background at that time, many of the views in the article were relatively avant-garde. The author observed the details and described sea-related things such as the sea, rocks, islands, wind and waves, ships, etc. Very clearly. For readers at that time, it was an excellent travel guide book, and the descriptions in the text gave people an immersive feeling. The main characters in the article are also young people in the new era. In addition to their personal identities, their thoughts and behaviors are modern and avant-garde. Helena Campbell is the only young and beautiful lady in the article. There are two living beings in Miss Campbell's body: me and another me. "I" is rational, thoughtful, and thinks more about my obligations than my rights when I outline my life. The "other me" is romantic, fantasy-like, a little superstitious, and likes legendary stories, and it seems so reasonable that such a story takes place in the hometown of the poet Fingold. The origin of this story is that Miss Campbell saw the story about the "green light" in the morning newspaper, and it was her "other self" at work that prompted Miss Campbell to follow the green light. Miss Campbell's parents died when she was young, and she was raised by her two uncles. For the sake of their beloved niece, the two uncles never married, and they regarded her as a treasure and agreed to all her requests. Because their family was well off, Sam Melville and Sibu Melville did not need to work and never thought about working. They spent most of their lives guarding the family business and taking care of their nieces. For Miss Campbell's marriage, the two found a young talent and wanted to match them up. Miss Campbell was going to the seaside to see the green light. Sam and Sibu knew that the young scholar Aristobulus Euthykraus was vacationing on the beach in Auburn, so they took their niece by boat to Auburn, hoping to take this opportunity to strengthen their communication. On the ship to Auburn, Olivier Sinclair was saved by chance (this person only came into contact and acquaintance after Auburn). In order to see the green light they dreamed of, Miss Campbell and her two uncles struggled for several months. Due to various reasons, they missed the opportunity to see the green light. The final result was romantic and beautiful. Although the background of the story is set in the Scottish Highlands and mainly takes place on the islands near England, the story is full of French romance and warmth, and there is also a lack of insights expressed through the mouths of the people in the story. If anyone is lucky enough to see the green light, he will not be obsessed, his eyesight will be clear, and he will be able to see through masks and lies to see true feelings. Miss Helena Campbell's last sigh is probably the truth. In my opinion, it is a thorough understanding of luck and blessing.
The books written by Verne are quite good.
What does green light look like? I really want to see it.
It seems to be better than these fairy tale, fantasy, and romance books in China!
Foreseeing the future, many things in the book have become reality. I loved his novels in junior high school.
I hope there will be more books by Verne
