The protagonist Gwynplaine in "The Man Who Laughs" is a descendant of a noble family. He fell into the hands of human traffickers when he was young and was disfigured and mutilated. His face always seemed to be smiling strangely. The kind-hearted entertainer Yu Sousse adopted him as his adopted son, and also adopted the blind girl Di that Gwen Pulan rescued from the snow. A few of them wandered around the world and made a living by performing arts. Later, due to accidental factors and the needs of the British political arena, Gwynplaine was able to regain his title, but he refused this dirty gift, preferring to return to his companions in distress; by this time Dee was seriously ill. After the blind girl passed away, Gwen Pulan was so sad that she threw herself into the sea and committed suicide.
Reader comments
The smile on my face was carved by a king. This smile represents the pain of all mankind. This smile is hatred, forced silence, anger, and despair. This smile is the product of torture. This smile is an unnatural smile. If Satan had this smile, this smile would condemn God.
This book is very good! I especially like Gwen Pulan in the book. His experience makes people sympathize, but his kindness and determination are also admirable. The storyline is very attractive, especially the relationship between Gwen Pulan and Ty, which is very touching. Hugo's words are very contagious and made me feel the complexity of human nature and the darkness of society. This book made me see a different world and made me appreciate my current life more. It is recommended that you also read it, you will definitely gain something different!
I wish they could be happy together
Very good wisdom tree
I cried so hard that I switched between heaven and hell.
Ursus is so pitiful
The smiling face of the male protagonist Gwynplaine reveals the essence of good and evil in the British system of that era [Adoration]
A very good novel, worth reading and recommending
MJ is actually very suitable for playing the role of the Laughing Man. From his acting talent to the core of his personality, no wonder I feel a sense of familiarity.
