The Princess of Carodia

It looked so good. I thought she would find herself transformed into an old woman guarding that little house when she woke up.

This fairy tale tells a very short story. Driven by desire, a girl loses her true composure, gives up beauty, and ultimately loses everything and loses herself. The article is divided into four parts: the ordinary life of a girl, meeting a demon to exchange hope, the life of a princess in the castle, and finally the part about pursuing oneself. The article uses fairy tales to show the author's critical ability to reality. It touches on a serious phenomenon in modern life: Why have modern people lost the joy of leisurely life? People's internal physiological and psychological mechanisms have been severely damaged. There is a shooting technique in movies called montage. It refers to using pictures only as a narrative method and switching pictures in different scenes. This method is used to express the ineffable and indescribable inner activities of the characters in the movie. The first part of this article uses the technique of montage. Many fragments are described here: the love of neighbors, the love of parents, conversations with friends, and gifts from lovers. Fragments that seem to have no logical relationship are combined, and the character's behavior, language and mental activities are used to reflect the protagonist's inner change process from wishing to become a princess to complaining that he cannot be a princess, and finally being driven by desire to become a princess and decide to run away from home. This reflects the degree to which the two elements of happiness and unsatisfaction are directly proportional. In the second and third parts, the little girl finally got the life in her imagination through the help of the witch in exchange for "hope", including jewelry, gourmet food, beautiful clothes, a beautiful castle, and a handsome knight. However, she lost her kind father, her lovely friends, her lover, and her free life. In this part, the author's structure is too loose. The author describes in detail the witch's house, the witch's appearance, the scenery on the way to the castle and the warnings each animal gives her. Although this description method is very delicate, it can be seen that the author has a very beautiful writing style. The author's main purpose is to highlight the protagonist who, driven by desire, gradually loses his original intention and sells his soul to the devil. However, this kind of delicate writing technique is not particularly helpful for the thematic framework of the article. If it appears in a short article, it will only obliterate the main idea, making the article level unclear and the article description like a running account. If the plot could be tighter or the pace faster, this part would be even better. Just like watching a plot movie, if there are beautiful scenery from beginning to end, from tall buildings to small leaves, all the photos are taken without highlighting the plot or having nothing to do with the plot, no matter how good the idea of ​​the movie is, most of the audience will be turned away. The last paragraph is the climax of this article, and it is also the most exciting and colorful paragraph. The little girl couldn't stand the coldness of the castle and returned home, only to find that no one knew her. This is a metaphor that people who sink in desire lose hope and are just chasing people, unable to find where they belong. The most exciting thing is this passage from the author: "She kept running, from winter to summer, and from summer to autumn. But she never found the old woman and her little house, nor could she find the Carodia Castle in the east. She kept running, running to the farthest horizon, but still couldn't find it." After reading this, I suddenly thought of Milan. Kundera's book "Slowness". Kundera believes that there is an organic connection between slowness and memory, and between speed and forgetting. Slowness is directly proportional to the intensity of memory. "If a person is walking on the road and suddenly thinks of something, but cannot remember the details. This is a very natural way for him to slow down. On the contrary, when a person is eager to forget the unpleasant experience he just experienced, he will definitely speed up in order to escape that period of time that is too close to him as soon as possible." Here, Kundera reveals the essence of modern people's intense and fast pace of life: they use the excuse of "busy" to avoid the true state of life. In this way, people are locked in "reality", "past" and "future" are evacuated, and "memories" and "views" disappear. This article by Fourteen coincides with Kundera's "Slowness", elaborating on the same thing from a different perspective. After the princess lost her "hope", she never stopped running, in order to forget her wrong decision, to avoid the fact of her loss, and the pain and loss of losing her true state. The author hopes to warn modern people: re-examine their outlook on life and re-construct a balance between light and heavy. Are the things that modern people consider important: cars, villas, power, and money really more important than a peaceful mind, free time, warm emotions, and a calm state? "Want" can only be an intermediary. When it becomes a goal, people can no longer be calm. Until the last sentence, "To this day, she is still searching and running, have you seen her?" Fourteen pushed this article to its highest point, and it was also a naked criticism of reality. Are there many such people around us? Are we such people? What else can we do besides running when we lose our composure? Only we can give ourselves the answer. This is a very profound fairy tale. Although there are some things that the author did not control well, it is still a good article, so I hope the author will work hard.

I've read this before, and now I'm reviewing it again. People are so greedy

It has a meaning and is written very seriously.

Real, cruel, beautiful, lack of warmth

Such a woman totally deserves it! ! As the saying goes, you will not survive if you do it yourself!

Everything has two sides. There is no way in life but the best side. You must accept the worst side.

Wanting to get what you can't get ~ the bad nature of people ~

Hehe, are you running to a mental hospital?

Where did Maria go?
