Extended data

1900 legend 1900 is obviously a victim of a tragic fate and a tragic personality, but it is also a noble model. Unlike those immigrants who would rather endure the stormy waves and go to the United States for gold, he has no impulse to look for "gold mines" in the land world. Without that "damn war", 1900' s life would be pure and beautiful.

However, 1900 finally entered a desperate situation and achieved the performance of "destruction" in effect, which is consistent with the tragedy of ancient Greece. However, unlike the tragedy against fate, 1900 accepted the end of self-destruction, and therefore did not take life seriously. On the contrary, it produces a sense of absurdity, loneliness, fear and despair, and lacks the dignity and confidence to fight against fate.

His tragic consciousness is obviously negative, and it is also a model of works of tragic consciousness in existential literature. Although the story of 1900 is symbolic, it is true, not only the truth of art, but also the truth of real life. His negative pessimism is the extreme expression of people's negative emotions in modern society.
