Red and *

After reading the ending, it took me a long time to get over it. At first, I didn't understand why Julien refused to accept everyone's help and insisted on dying. Later, after putting myself in his shoes and slowly recalling it, I realized that Julien was tired of being controlled by his own desires and pursuing fame and fortune. In this process, Julien gained a lot, but lost even more at the same time. The higher the position climbs, the stronger the desire will be. Desire is like a bottomless ravine that can never be filled. When you choose to be infinitely close to desire, you are choosing to stay away from happiness. The pursuit of desires must be moderate, and paying attention to the small blessings in daily life is the best secret to happiness. In the book, the back-and-forth between Julien and Mademoiselle Demorf and the passage of lustful love are also quite exciting, especially the psychological description of the characters. A book I like very much

When the bright moon was there, it illuminated the colorful clouds when they returned

"But what about me? I have a noble heart..." He's talking about me, you, us. "I am acting in accordance with the requirements of the times" Pursuing fame and fortune. Looking back, it was all nonsense.

This novel can be said to be very interesting, so I think you can read the passages that you find interesting when reading this book. If you feel it's not exquisite enough, just turn to the next paragraph and read it.

In the changing times, self-reconstruction needs to be completed. A lifetime of self-esteem and ambition cannot be achieved with the help of specific people. Julien is unwilling to be mediocre, but gets lost in the pursuit of achievement. He has strong vitality and upward growth, and there are also moments when value is lost. This reminds me of "Water in the Waves", where the promotion channel has been monopolized, and the bottom elites either seek skin from the tiger or destroy themselves. Historical situations repeat themselves, and people's hearts are always similar. I hope that I can not only protect my complete humanity and moral bottom line, but also realize my personal value.

The inner portrayal of the characters is very exquisite. Julien's ambition and persistence, pain and determination are immersive and fascinating.

Julien's pride and self-esteem fulfilled him, but at the same time, it also caused him to fall into the abyss.

A delicate and legendary work, the character's personality charm no longer relies on superficial perfection, but on the contradictory pull and struggle itself. These characters, just sitting in the book and thinking about them, can deeply capture the readers' hearts, making people fall in love with their enthusiasm, become nervous about their obsessions, and feel sorry for their tragedies.

The strongest mistress is Julien

The best translation! When reading the first half of the novel, the forbidden love between Julien and Madame de Renal was fascinating, and the plot of the rich lady between him and Mathilde falling in love with the poor boy was even more fascinating. The first half of this book seemed to me to be about the struggle history of a poor boy from the bottom and his counterattack in life. However, the moment Julien shot Madame de Renal was the peak of the conflict between "red" and "black"; and the refusal of amnesty was Julien's final answer to this conflict. The ending is really shocking. The love of Madame de Renal and Mathilde, Julien's ambition and inferiority, hatred of the hypocrisy of the nobles, unwillingness to be born, disgust with social rules, and the suffocating class order of the entire Restoration era. At the end, everything buried in the previous hundreds of pages was suddenly connected. All the accumulated emotional expressions instantly overwhelmed me, so that I could not say anything else except shock. So wonderful.

Stendhal's authority needs no words [like] the inner description is very delicate (Also, are the comments I posted a few months ago something I could write after thinking about it [smile])

The details are well grasped, the ups and downs of emotional portrayal, the characters are rounded and the personalities are diverse.

Very good! ! Very precise! The details are well written!

Does anyone know whose translation this is? VIP expires tomorrow
