I have seen comments like this: Every man hates Duroy, but every man wants to be him. I have to admit that I have mixed feelings after reading such a book. Morality seems to be a stumbling block to success in the worldly sense in real life, but having no moral bottom line and using unscrupulous means are necessary conditions for success in the worldly sense. So should people pay attention to morality? Maybe it depends on who the person is and what he is pursuing. It is a good and easy-to-understand book with a simple and straightforward plot that may shock the perception of quite a few people, but in real life there are many things that are even more bloody than this plot.
