The Moon and Sixpence

When I was young, I heard the sentence "There were six pennies all over the ground, but he looked up and saw the moon." I thought it should be a story about pursuing a dream. When I grew up, I finally read this book. On the one hand, I found the male protagonist's energy to give up anything to pursue his ideals admirable, but at the same time, I thought he was a selfish ghost under the banner of dreams. Is it right for people to abandon their moral bottom line in order to succeed? Maybe my requirements for an idealist are too high. The times have created and influenced writers. The female image in the story is more like a tool, the incarnation of desire, which will become a factor that affects success, but is also needed by men. It may be that the times have caused such shortcomings, emmmm, it is very complicated.

It is recommended that girls read this book, especially those who have too much of a beautiful filter on love and marriage. It is an event that is truly narrated from a male perspective. The character Strickland is indeed annoying, but it is undeniable that his talent and courage to face difficulties make us think about human nature from multiple perspectives. This book has also had a great impact on my views on love and marriage. I need to look at people or things from a different perspective.

It's very interesting and thoughtful. From the perspective of a pure love warrior, I can't understand what the protagonist is doing, but from another perspective it can be very transparent.
