During extracurricular time,红黑 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.
