"Petro Goriot" is Balzac's masterpiece. The basic theme of "Human Comedy" is reflected here, and its artistic style best represents Balzac's characteristics. The intertwining of the careerist's struggle for fame and fortune and Goriot's desperate fatherly love makes the content of the novel even more bizarre and touching. Here, some major characters such as Rastignac, Viscountess de Beauseant, and Vautrin appeared on stage one after another, and the "Human Comedy" kicked off.

This book touched me very much. Old Man Goriot's selfless love for his daughter is just like the same love I have for my own children. At the same time, it also reminds me of some of my friends around me who give everything they have for their children. Balzac used his pen to depict the complexity of human nature, allowing us to think more about life. I recommend everyone to read it, maybe you will have a new understanding of family and life.
