I became immune to stress and became a habitual risk-taker, always hungry for excitement, attracting high-risk cases to me like a magnet, and reveling in the competition with death." And on another cold winter day, the rescue and birth of a child "helped me change my view of life, and also shaped me into a better person." An excellent surgeon - I have become a much better person than before, and I have once again understood that love can bring joy and joy."

"The Scholars" is a novel with intellectuals as the main description object, and it is also a typical satirical novel. It describes some images of Confucian scholars who were deeply poisoned by the eight-part imperial examination system. For example, it is written that Zhou Jin and Fan Jin spent their entire lives trying to pass the examination, and even when their beards turned gray, they still failed to pass the examination. Although life was extremely difficult, he still couldn't forget the imperial examination. Zhou Jin passed by an examination room and went in to watch. He was touched by a lifetime of bitterness and pain. He burst into tears and was so sad that he could not help but feel miserable. Later, with the help of some small businessmen, he took the exam and won the sympathy of the examiner, and things turned around. When he passed the exam, those who had ridiculed him in the past came to flatter him and praised him as the most knowledgeable person. Another example is Fan Jin. Before he passed the imperial examination, his family was so poor that he had no rice to cook with, so he went to the market to sell an old hen. When he learned that he had won the election, he was so happy that he became a madman. Fortunately, his father-in-law Hu Tuhu slapped him and he regained consciousness. At this time, the local squires and other prominent people all looked at him with admiration. Some gave him houses and some gave him property. Fan Jin's life immediately changed... And so on, which reflected the corruption of the secular customs at that time. On the one hand, it truly reveals the process and reasons for the corruption of human nature, thereby deeply criticizing and ridiculing the corruption of officialdom at that time, the shortcomings of imperial examinations, and the hypocrisy of ethics; on the other hand, it passionately praises the protection of human nature by a few characters by insisting on themselves, thus embodying the author's ideals.

These stories are not complicated, and they all write about the eternal topics of mankind: love and marriage. Most of the stories are set in English villages with three or four families, and the protagonists are just young girls from squire families. However, the stories written are like the waves in a tea cup, exploring the problems of women's love and marriage such as "reason and emotion, pride and prejudice, money and marriage, love and being loved, singleness and marriage, persuasion and self". Even after two hundred years, it is still called "the world is awake" and has great enlightenment significance for women's choice of marriage and love. "Sense and Sensibility" is Jane Austen's first work. Director Ang Lee adapted the original film of the same name.

The plague was caused by Agamemnon, the commander of the coalition forces, who refused to return a female prisoner because she was the daughter of the priest Apollo, the sun god. Apollo's priest asked Agamemnon to return his daughter when he was refused, so he prayed to Apollo to punish the Greek coalition forces. If the plague continues to spread, it will make the Greek coalition unstoppable, so Achilles asks Agamemnon to return the female prisoner to prevent the plague from spreading further.

This symmetrical structure is based on medieval concepts of the mysterious meaning and symbolism of numbers. From a moral point of view, this fictional magical journey is the learning process of the soul. Virgil symbolizes reason and philosophy. She guides Dante to travel to hell and the pure world, symbolizing that people understand the consequences of sin through reason and philosophy, and thus repent; Beatrice symbolizes faith and theology. She guides Dante to travel to heaven and finally see God. It symbolizes that people understand eternal truth through the path of faith and the enlightenment of theology, achieve the ultimate goal, and obtain the happiness of eternal life in the next life. Dante uses the personal soul's learning process as an example to inspire people to reflect on their own thoughts and actions and pay close attention to the dark social reality, so as to promote the early realization of Italy's hope for political and moral revival. Around this central idea, "The Divine Comedy" extensively reflects reality, gives an artistic summary of medieval culture, and at the same time shows the dawn of humanistic thought in the Renaissance era. Therefore, Engels called him "the last poet of the Middle Ages and the first poet of the new era."

The Divine Comedy is a cross-section of the human spiritual structure. From the perspective of Freudian psychology, hell is a world of self-indulgence, where human instincts and desires such as pride, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed for money, lust, and gluttony cannot be controlled; purgatory is where the self gradually purges away its sins and breaks away from the self to be reborn. Process, the seven kinds of sinful souls living in it, although they have sinned but to a lesser extent and have repented, are the self that can control themselves, and can ascend to heaven after repentance; heaven is the paradise of God, angels and good people, the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty, and the superego that transcends control. From the three sections of human spiritual structure, corresponding to the three realms of the Divine Comedy, we can also see Dante's value orientation and exploration of human nature.
