红与黑英语读后感（二）

during this term, i have read a novel the red and the black. the novel was written by the french writer stendhal in the 19th century. marie·henri beyle, better known by his pen name stendhal, was one of the critical realism french writers in the 19th century . the military and theatrical worlds of the first french empire were a revelation to beyle. known for his acute analysis of his characters' psychology and reflection of society, he is considered one of the earliest and foremost practitioners of realism in his two novels le rouge et le noir （the red and the black, 1830） and la chartreuse de parme （the charterhouse of parma, 1839）。 stendhal laid down for himself in a diary entry of may 1804:“regard everything i’ve read to date about man as a prediction; believe only what i have seen for myself. joy, happiness, fame, all is upon it.” futurity call it realism creation method. in france, stendhal was the first litterateur to reveal corruption of the bourgeoisie through literature.

the novel marks the beginning of realism. andré gide said that the red and the black was a novel ahead of its time, that it was a novel for readers in the twentieth century. in stendhal’s time, prose novels included dialogue and omniscient narrator descriptions; his great contribution to literary technique was describing the psychologies （feelings, thoughts, inner monologues） of the characters, resultantly he is considered the creator of the psychological novel.

the paper's opening sentence：“if your characters do not talk about politics, they are not the french in 1830.” is the famous sentence in the red and the black. the material of the red and the black is based on a realistic event that a tutor killed her hostess in 1827. when stendhal read the story in the newspaper, he adapted it and wrote the long bildungsroman novel the red and the black. the work, previously titled julien, then, changed into the red and the black. the red symbolizes many things, the uniform of the napoleon era, mrs. renal’s blood, revolution and contribution by the common people. the black also stands for robes of priests, martel’s mourning apparel and the plot of church. the subtitle, a chronicle of the 19th century, definitely states the time background. thus it can be seen, stendhal consciously wrote this political tint novel about society of bourbon restoration. the red and the black is the first critical realism novel in europe.

the red and the black includes two volumes. it mainly tells the story of julien sorel’s life in a monarchic society of fixed social class.the clue of this book is about julien sorel’s life experience. from the venal town to the capital paris, the ghastly seminary to the royalist, love and religious activities to the secret political conferences, the red and the black describes a picture of the society under control of charles x of france.

book i julien sorel is an ambitious son of a carpenter in the verrières village, in franche-comté， france, who would rather read and daydream about the glory days of napoleon's long-disbanded army. in the event, julien sorel becomes an acolyte. later, the local catholic prelate secures him a post as the tutor for the children of monsieur de rênal, the mayor of verrières. he falls in love with monsieur de rênal’s wife; it ends badly when exposed to the village, by her chambermaid, elisa. then, julien goes to a seminary in besan?on, which he finds intellectually stifling and pervaded with social cliques. disgusted by the church’s political machinations, julien recommends himself as private secretary to the diplomat marquis de la mole, a roman catholic legitimist.

book ii chronicles the time leading to the july revolution of 1830, and julien sorel’s parisian life, as an employee of the de la mole family. despite moving among high society, the family and their friends, condescend to julien for being an uncouth plebeian — his intellectual talents notwithstanding. in his boundlessly ambitious rise in the world, julien perceives the materialism and hypocrisy important to the elite of parisian society, and that the counter-revolutionary temper of the time renders it impossible for well-born men of superior intellect and esthetic sensibility to progressively participate in the public affairs of the nation with any success. meanwhile, in the preceding months, the marquis’s bored daughter, mathilde de la mole, had become emotionally torn, between her romantic attraction to julien, for his admirable personal and intellectual qualities, and her social repugnance at becoming sexually intimate with a lower-class man. at first, he finds her unattractive, but his interest is piqued, by her attentions and the admiration she inspires in others; twice, she seduces and rejects him, leaving him in a miasma of despair, self-doubt, and happiness. only during his secret mission does he gain the key to winning her affections. consequently, mathilde sincerely falls in love with julien, eventually revealing to him that she carries his child; yet, whilst he was on diplomatic mission in england, she became officially engaged to monsieur de croisenois, an amiable, rich young man, heir to a duchy.

although the red and the black was written in the 19th century, the novel is still of reflective value to our real world.in the modern society, we still can find out many “juliens”。 they are young and talented, but low birth. at first, they despise the unfair treatment in the society. they hate corruption of officialdom. ()they disdain the person who has special power and privileges. however, they always long for joining in the officialdom. the iron hand of cruel necessity broke those juliens’ wills. once into the officialdom, they gradually lose themselves. finally, they even enjoy in it and try to defend themselves.

in fact, they must end of failure like julien, i think, against their wills, following the wrong mind and taking advantage of the empressement of others. learning of julien’s romantic liaison with mathilde, the marquis de la mole is angered, but relents before her determination, and his affection for him, and bestows upon julien an income-producing property attached to an aristocratic title, and a military commission in the army. although ready to bless their marriage, he changes his mind upon receiving the reply to a character-reference-letter he wrote to the abbé chénal, julien’s previous employer in the village of verrières; however, the reply letter, written by madame de rênal — at the urging of her confessor priest — warns the marquis that julien sorel is a social-climbing cad who preys upon emotionally vulnerable women. on learning the marquis’s disapproval of the marriage, julien sorel travels to his home village of verrières and shoots madame de rênal during mass in the village church; she survives. despite the efforts of mathilde, madame de rênal, and the priests devoted to him since his early life, julien sorel is determined to die — because the materialist society of bourbon restoration france will not accommodate a low-born man of superior intellect and aesthetic sensibility possessing neither money nor social connections.

reading between the lines, we can find that julien is a strong-willed and cunning young man who is determined to make his way to the upper society. julien’s mistrustfulness and his touchy pride were through his life. he reached such heights of perfection in this kind of eloquence, which has replaced the swiftness of action found under the empire. julien forgot his dreary role as a rebellious plebeian. when he was in the prison, he awakened and said:” the whole world and the society are hypocritical!” he yelled out:” i love truth, but where is truth? everyone is hypocritical and trickish, including the great people! ” he refused to appeal. later, he was sent to the block and ended his life.

julien is a tragical character in this novel. he represents the young people of petty bourgeoisie in the bourbon restoration. they are young and talented, but low birth. finally, they end of death. as the novel shown, the society under control of charles x of france was dark. there was no middle way for them. the connection between people was only money, even between father and son. when julien was in the prison, his father visited him. at the beginning, his father scolded him. he thought that julien was a shame of his family. while father heard of the money julien had, father changed his attitude at once. you had money, people respected you; without money, people looked down upon you. in that society, without money, you were nothing! julien was the victim of cash nexus. i cannot help saying:” it is an eat-man world!” if julien lives in the modern society, without repress and exploitation of class, i believe, he must be appreciated by others and become a successful person.

julien sorel is practical, greedy, and cruel. in order to realize his aim and get rid of poverty, julien took advantage of mathilde by hook or by crook. he believed that the end justifies the means. it is true that every one should try his best to achieve what he is pursuing. but we should do it in a proper and moral way. and whatever we do, we shouldn't forget that love and honesty should remain the most cherishable elements in our life.

today we are living in a harmonious society; we should keep our purity and humanity. fame and fortune are important, but they are not everything. love and honesty are of more importance for a peaceful life. we should trust each other, help each other, and take care of each other.

although julien ended of death, we still have many things to learn from him. he was low birth, but he always encouraged himself that:” i will be great!” he never gave up. when we encounter some problems, we should try to solve them instead of giving up. plus, before julien started a thing, he always had made a plan. everything must be carefully planned before we act, then twice as much can be accomplished with half the effort.

in a whole, success and opportunity are only given to those people who are well-prepared. i am ready at all times. are you ready?

review of the red and the black

 during extracurricular time, i finished reading the red and the black. it was a typical and fundamental european work of criticism and realism which was released in the 19th century. throughout the whole book, it is fulfilled with the hero julien’s experiences and final failure during his struggling life. especially his two love stories, which incisively and vividly revealed the hideous social ethos at the beginning of 19th century. besides, the book strongly deprecates the impuissance of monarch, noble and the contemptibility of church and bourgeois. its way of statement is really worth appreciating too.

 the author is really good at revealing the serious social problem from love. julien’s two love experiences were tightly related to the social wind and cloud that time and it was one aspect of class struggle. julien indeed fell in love with mrs. de renal later, but he was only out of a kind of revengeful thought against dignitary at the very beginning. thereby, when first seizing on mrs. de renal’s hand, he felt that it was not the happiness out of love, but napoleon’s victory of ambition and spree. it is more like the satisfaction of retaliation.

 if there was much of love between julien and mrs. de renal in pursuit of her, there must have been no love between julien and mathilde but a political game. mathilde was a haughty and willful noble young girl. she was profoundly influenced by french revolution. she puerilely thought that if there would have been a new revolution, the dominator of this society must be the energetic young people like julien and marrying him was not only romantic but also dependable. by contrast, julien believed that if he would have married mathilde, he could promote his position and rapid advancement in his career and managed to cheat her love.

 to julien, his two loves were failed without any surprise. julien never could enter the gerentocratic, his love will never be allowed by superior.

the red and the black successfully set up a typical role in its special environment. its shapely art structure and the using of line drawing are really outstanding. its excellent mind description is very admirable. realism writers all pay much attention to the truth of detail, but the author of this book not liked to depict the object environment, instead of the roles’ inside ideas. he just used several sentences to introduce the environment and the movement of roles, but use large paragraph to detail the role’s interior mental movement. julien’s happiness, distress and confess and his complicated mental movement were incisively and vividly described. besides, the scenery was also a great part of this book. absolute clear is the beauty of the style. brief, simplicity and clarity were the most apparent specialty. different sceneries switching and developing system are much like a film script. it is the typical literary novel.

《红与黑》读后感（一）

文/王千雨

斯丹达尔的《红与黑》是法国，亦是全世界文坛的重要书籍，今天我便来谈谈这部巨著。

小说一开始便用轻快的笔调，生动地描写了这个‘怯弱，脸上带着泪痕，有着白嫩皮肤，蓝眼睛’的朱丽安与优雅的德。雷纳尔夫人之间甜蜜而忐忑的爱情，以美丽而平静的韦里埃为背景。多么亲切、温柔的岁月啊！这爱情是纯洁、活泼的，就是雷纳尔夫人一点点道德观念的苦恼也没有影响小说流畅的自然之美，反而使它更美丽、传神了。两个人似乎在玩心灵的游戏，相互躲藏，嬉戏，雷纳尔夫人调皮、轻松、有时还不免有些咬啮性的小烦恼的心理，给这文字注入了活力与朴素的情调。但这平静的外表下，却有一颗不为人知，充满热情的野心，正如斯丹达尔在小说中所说：“朱利安，他那像姑娘般的脸，这样苍白，这样温柔，谁又能猜透他灵魂深处藏着不可动摇的决心呢？甘冒九死一生的危险也要出人头地。”朱利安最崇拜的人便是拿破仑，他向往拿破仑的“这种力量，这种孤独”。

但这种整日冥想的时光不会太久，朱利安到了巴黎上流社会，他认识到了虚伪、空虚与丑恶。贵族亲王们都轻视他，在他们眼里朱利安只不过是个服务的很好的仆人罢了。这个复杂，矛盾的灵魂在作者笔下刻画的入木三分，虚伪与热情、野心与理性混合在一起，《红与黑》的人性描写的淋漓尽致，阴暗与光明在人性中同在，这高明的写法即使在一句话，一个词中亦可感受到。

但他恶的一面又爆发了，他杀人了，被关入死囚牢。

他却不准备为自己辩解，他对这个世界，这个社会已厌倦了，他在这个监狱里度过了自己最后的时光，他成了一个洞察自己灵魂的人：

“我爱过真理……现在真理又在那里呢？”

“到处都是伪善，至少是欺诈，甚至最有德性、最伟大的人也不例外……”

这是他一生的悲剧，他在一群虚伪的人中谋取名利，渐渐他亦变得虚伪，并且走向灭亡。他批判这个社会，他亦成为作者所批判的对象。

这个故事如此简单，但它的悲苦之情是无人理解的。

“真理，严酷的真理”。丹东的这句话用在这部小说的扉页上是再合适不过了。

《红与黑》读后感（二）

小说主人公于连，是一个木匠的儿子，年轻英俊，意志坚强，精明能干，从小就希望借助个人的努力与奋斗跻身上流社会。

在法国与瑞士接壤的维立叶尔城，坐落在山坡上，美丽的杜伯河绕城而过，河岸上矗立着许多锯木厂。市长德瑞那是个出身贵族，在扣上挂满勋章的人。

他五十岁左右，他的房子有全城最漂亮的花园，他的妻子是最有钱而又最漂亮的妻子，但他才智不足，“他只能办到严格地收讨他人的欠债，当他自己欠人家的债时，他愈迟还愈好”。在这座城市还有一个重要人物，是贫民寄养所所长——哇列诺先生。他花了一万到一万两千法郎才弄到这个职位，他体格强壮棕红色的脸，黑而精粗的小胡子，在别人眼中他是个美男子，连市长都惧他三分。但市长为了显示自己高人一等，决心请一个家庭教师。

木匠索黑尔的儿子于连，由于精通拉丁文，被选作市长家的家庭教师。他约十八九岁，长得文弱清秀，两只又大又黑的眼睛。在宁静时，眼中射出火一般的光辉，又象是熟思和探寻的样子，但一瞬间，又流露出可怕的仇恨，由于他整天抱着书本不放，不愿做力气活，因而遭到全家的嫌弃与怨恨，经常被父亲和两个哥哥毒打。他小时疯狂地崇拜拿破伦，渴望像拿破仑那样身佩长剑，做世界的主人。认为拿破仑“由一个既卑微又穷困的下级军官，只靠他身佩的长剑，便做了世界上的主人”。但后来他又想当神甫，因为“如今我们眼见四十岁左右的神父能拿到十万法郎的薪俸。()这就是说他们能拿到十万法郎，三倍于拿破仑当时手下的著名的大将的收入。”于是，他投拜在神甫西朗的门下，钻研起神学来。他仗着惊人的好记性把一本拉丁文《圣经》全背下来，这事轰动了全城。

市长的年轻漂亮的妻子是在修道院长大的，对像她丈夫那样庸俗粗鲁的男人，打心底里感到厌恶。由于没有爱情，她把心思全放在教养3个孩子身上。她认为男人“除了金钱、权势、勋章的贪欲以外，对于一切都是麻木不仁”。最初，她把于连想象为一个满面污垢的乡下佬，谁知见面时却大出她的意料：面前这个年轻人竟是这样白皙，眼睛又这样温柔动人。以为他“实际上是一个少女”故意假扮男装。她对于连产生好感，甚至觉得“只有在这个少年教士的心里，才有慷慨、高尚、仁爱”。瑞那夫人的女仆爱丽沙也爱上了于连，爱丽沙得到了一笔遗产，要西郎神父转达她对于连的爱慕，于连拒绝了女仆爱丽沙的爱情。瑞那夫人得知此事心里异常高兴，一股幸福的流泉泻落在她的心海里，她发觉自己对他产生了一种从未有过的一种感情。

夏天市长一家搬到凡尼镇乡下花园别墅居住，晚上乘凉的时候，全家聚在一株菩提树下，于连无意间触到了瑞那夫人的手，她一下子缩回去了，于连以为瑞那夫人看不起他，便决心必须握住这只手。第二天晚上他果然做了，瑞那夫人的手被于连偷偷地紧握着，满足了他的自尊心。瑞那夫人被爱情与道德责任折腾得一夜未合眼。她决定用冷淡的态度去对待于连。可是当于连不在家时，她又忍不住对他的思念。而于连也变得更大胆，他在心里暗想：“我应该再进一步，务必要在这个女人身上达到目的才好。如果我以后发了财，有人耻笑我当家庭教师低贱，我就让大家了解，是爱情使我接受这位置的”。

深夜2点闯进了她的房里。开始，她对于连的无礼行为很生气，但当她看到“他两眼充满眼泪”时，便同情起他来。她暗想，如果在10年前能爱上于连该多好。不过，在于连的心里则完全没有这种想法，他的爱完全是出于一种野心，一种因占有欲而产生的狂热。他那样贫穷，能够得到这么高贵、这么美丽的妇人，已经是上天的恩赐了。

不久，皇帝驾临维立叶尔，在瑞那夫人的安排下，于连被聘当上了仪仗队队员，使他有在公众面前大出风头的机会。迎驾期间，于连作为陪祭教士参加瞻拜圣骸典礼。之后，他对木尔侯爵的侄子、年轻的安倍主教十分崇敬。心想，安倍主教如此年轻就有显赫的地位，而且倍受女人的青睐，暗下决心“宁愿受宗教的制裁，也要达到令美人羡慕的境界”。

瑞那夫人心爱的儿子病危，她认为这是上帝对自己不道德行为的一种惩罚，她陷入了可怕的忏悔里。这时，爱丽沙又把夫人的事暗中告诉了哇列诺先生，他早先曾贪恋瑞那夫人的美色碰了一鼻子灰，便趁机给市长写了一封告密信。但市长担心如果把妻子赶出家门，自己将失去一大笔遗产，而且也有损于自己的名誉，采取“只怀疑而不证实”的办法。但在这座城市里，街谈巷议对瑞那夫人和于连却越来越不利。一次爱丽沙向西朗神父忏悔时，又谈出于连与瑞那夫人的秘密关系。关心于连的神父要他到省城贝尚松神学院进修。告别后的第三天夜里，于连又冒险赶回维立叶尔，与瑞那夫人见面，此时的瑞那夫人由于思念的痛苦，已憔悴得不像人样了。

贝尚松是法国一座古城，城墙高大。初到神学院，那门上的铁十字架，修士的黑色道袍，和他们麻木不仁的面孔都使于连感到恐怖。院长彼拉神父是西郎神父的老相识，因此对于连特别关照。他对于连说：“嘻笑就是虚伪的舞台”。

在321个学生中，绝大部分是平庸的青年，由此于连自信会迅速获得成功。他悄悄对自己说：“在拿破仑统治下，我会是个军曹，在未来的神父当中，我将是个主教。”由于学习成绩名列前茅，院长竟让他当新旧约全书课程的辅导教师。

但神学院是个伪善的地方，他很快就堕入了忧郁之中。彼拉院长受到排挤辞职不干了，并介绍于连为木尔侯爵的秘书。彼拉神父专门给他介绍侯爵一家他说“你要十分注意，一个象我们这种行业的人，只有靠这些大人先生们才有前途……在这样一个社会里，如果你得不到人家的尊敬，你的不幸是注定的了”。

侯爵瘦削而矮小，有一对十分灵活的眼睛，头上带有金色假发。他是个极端保皇党人，法国大革命时，他逃亡国外，王朝复辟后，他在朝中取得了显赫的地位。于连每天的工作就是为他抄写稿件和公文，侯爵对于连十分满意，派他去管理自己两个省的田庄，还负责自己与贝尚松代理主教福力列之间的诉讼通讯，后又派他到伦敦去搞外交，赠给他一枚十字勋章，这使于连感到获得了极大的成功。

于连在贵族社会的熏陶下，很快学会了巴黎上流社会的艺术，成了一个花花公子，甚至在木尔小姐的眼里，他也已脱了外省青年的土气。木尔小姐名叫玛特儿，是一个有金栗色头发，体态匀称，非常秀丽的姑娘，但“这双眼睛透露出一种内心可怕的冷酷”。她读过许多浪漫主义爱情小说，并被3世纪前一段家史所激动：她的祖先木尔是皇后玛嘉瑞特的情夫，被国王处死后，皇后向刽子手买下了他的头，在深夜里亲自把它埋葬在蒙马特山脚下。她十分崇拜皇后的这种为爱情而敢冒大不韪的精神，她的名字玛特儿就是皇后的爱称。

起初，于连并不爱玛特儿那清高傲慢的性格，但想到“她却能够把社会上的好地位带给她丈夫”时，便热烈地追求起她来。玛特儿也知道于连出身低微，但她怀着一种“我敢于恋爱一个社会地位离我那样遥远的人，已算是伟大和勇敢了”的浪漫主义感情，因此，她在花园里主动挽着于连的胳膊，还主动给他写信宣布爱情。为了考验于连的胆量，她要于连在明亮的月光下用梯子爬到她的房间去。于连照样做了，当晚她就委身于他了，过后玛特儿很快就后悔了。

一次，他们在图书室相遇，她边哭边对于连说：“我恨我委身于第一个来到的人”于连感到痛苦，他摘下挂在墙上的一把古剑要杀死她，玛特儿一点都不害怕反而骄傲地走到于连面前，她认为于连爱她已经爱到要杀了她的程度，便又与他好起来。夜里于连再次爬进她的房间，她请求于连做她的“主人”，自己将永远做他的奴隶，表示要永远服从他。可是，只要于连稍许表露出爱慕的意思，她又转为愤怒，毫不掩饰的侮辱他，并公开宣布不再爱他。

因为于连的记忆力很好，木尔侯爵让他列席一次保王党人的秘密会议，会上有政府首相、红衣主教、将军。会后，木尔侯爵让于连把记在心里的会议记录冒着生命危险带到国外去。在驿站换马时，差点被敌方杀害，幸好他机警地逃脱了，与外国使节接上了头，然后留在那等回信。在那儿他遇到俄国柯哈莎夫王子，他是个情场老手，于连便把自己的爱情苦恼讲给他听，他建议于连假装去追求另一个女性，以达到降伏玛特儿的目的，并把自己的五十三封情书交给她，“把这些信转抄一份寄给你所选定的女性，这个女性必须是瞧不起你的对方的熟人。”

于连回到巴黎后，将这些情书一封封寄给元帅夫人，元帅夫人受了感动，给于连回信，玛特儿再也忍耐不住了，跪倒在于连的脚下，求他爱她，于连的虚荣心得到极大的满足，“看呀！这个骄傲的女人，居然躺在我的脚下了！”。不久，玛特儿发现自己怀孕了，她写信告诉父亲，要他原谅于连，并成全他们的婚事。侯爵在爱女坚持下，一再让步。先是给了他们一份田产，准备让他们结婚后搬到田庄去住。随后，又给于连寄去一张骠骑兵中尉的委任状，授予贵族称号。

于连在骠骑兵驻地穿上军官制服，陶醉在个人野心满足的快乐中，“由于恩宠，刚刚才作了二天的中尉，他已经在盘算好至迟有象过去的大将军一样，在三十岁上，就能做到司令，那么到二十三岁，就应该在中尉以上。他只想到他的荣誉和他的儿子。”这时，他突然收到了玛特儿寄来的急信。信中说：一切都完了。于连急忙回去，原来瑞那夫人给木尔侯爵写信揭露了他们原先的关系。这时恼羞成怒的于连立即跳上去维拉叶尔的马车，买了一支手枪，随即赶到教堂，向正在祷告的瑞那夫人连发两枪，夫人当场中枪倒地。于连因开枪杀人被捕了。

入狱后，他头脑冷静下来，对自己行为感到悔恨和耻辱。他意识到野心已经破灭，但死对他并不可怕。瑞那夫人受了枪伤并没有死。稍愈后，她买通狱吏，免得于连受虐待。于连知道后痛哭流涕。玛特儿也从巴黎赶来探监，为营救于连四处奔走，于连对此并不感动，只觉得愤怒。公审的时候，于连当众宣称他不祈求任何人的恩赐，他说：“我决不是被我的同阶级的人审判，我在陪审官的席上，没有看见一个富有的农民，而只是些令人气愤的资产阶级的人。”结果法庭宣布于连犯了蓄谋杀人罪，判处死刑。瑞那夫人不顾一切前去探监。

于连这才知道，她给侯爵的那封信，是由听她忏悔的教士起草并强迫她写的。于连和瑞那夫人彼此饶恕了，他拒绝上诉，也拒绝做临终祷告，以示对封建贵族阶级专制的抗议。

在一个晴和的日子里，于连走上了断头台。玛特儿买下了他的头颅，按照她敬仰的玛嘉瑞特皇后的方式，亲自埋葬了自己情人的头颅。至于瑞那夫人，在于连死后的第三天，抱吻着她的儿子，也离开了人间。

红与黑英文读后感（二）

the book i read this week entittled the red and the black, which is undoubtedly among the best liturature works. as a person who haven’t had much knowledge in literature, any comments on this work seem to be rather naive and even sort of reckless. but this is the only book i have access to recently. with much deliberation, i would like to write down following words.

the book mainly tells a story about a man named julien, who came from a carpenter’s family and got a shrewd father and two elder brothers characterized by huge size and rudeness. though he wasn’t quite athletic, he got talent with his memory. he could recite the whole contents of the bible, which made him admired by people around him and win him a job as a family teacher. and this is the part where our story begins. under his gorgeous face, there exists a relentless lust for fortune, power and status, all of which derive from his persuit of happiness, dignity and freedom and finally contributed to his downfall. ()he worshiped nepolen the most, and he is willing to die a thousand times to win his success. he desires for love, yet sometimes he used it as a tool to obtain his status and power. however, he had never given up showing his sympathy for the poor and contempt to the noble. his pureness blended together with ambition and felt self-abased and conceited at the same time. as a young man, he ignored what’s really important for him—being loved. and he just realized this until death was around the corner. the story is a tragedy, for he hasn’t got what he wanted in the end and he sacrificed too much for his contemporary fame and fortune. at the last few hours of his life, those happy times he spent with his loved ones gave him courage to face death penalty with calm . when he realized that he didn’t have to tolerate the world filled with fakeness or put a mask on his face, he died with ease.

julien stands for the group of people coming from the low class in the society and hope to achieve success with their own efforts. these people usually don’t have the necessary conditions to become successful, but they will by no means stop trying or let god tells them what their lives should be like, instead, they are willing to sacrifice anything to realize their dreams and earn their dignity. for these people, no matter what the consequences their struggle may be, i should forever pay my tribute to them. to some extent, they are the makers of the world.
