The eternal sobs of the river, the endless sighs of the breeze, the traces left by the tragedy, inadvertently I once again opened the long-forgotten Notre Dame de Paris. Notre Dame de Paris is a wonderful Catholic cathedral and the first Gothic building in France. It gives countless people curious and yearning attraction, not just the ancient building itself, but the story it carries, which gives it a real soul. When Hugo, a famous French writer, visited Notre Dame, in a dark corner of a spire bell tower, he found several hand-carved Greek letters on the wall: Anarkh-"Destiny". These letters were completely lost in the stone after years of obscurity. These letters were strangely shaped, as if to show that these words were written by someone. These indescribable symbols, especially the words composed of these Greek letters, caused the fate and tragic meaning.
This is an intriguing story with a vivid and touching plot. It vividly tells the inequality of people in the old society and the darkness of the slave society. It seems that the author wants to draw people's thoughts with this theme. This book reflects all kinds of life in the world, and Hugo interprets all kinds of ups and downs that a person can experience in his life in this book, and the source of the story is only those moldy Greek letters.
A large number of contrast techniques are used throughout the novel, depicting a group of characters with vivid and infectious personalities. The intricate contradictions and entanglements between the characters and their tragic fate are gripping. The contrast between appearance and heart, status and conduct, good and evil, true love and deception, perseverance and weakness, selfishness and meanness and kindness and tolerance, infatuation and taking part in accidental amusement ...
Hugo created quasimodo-style love in his novels-the holiest and greatest, with no selfish desires, only guardianship, no oath, but longer than life. Quasimodo, a unique church bell ringer in the history of literature. He is one-eyed, hunchbacked, bowlegged, and deaf, which can be said to be extremely ugly. However, he has a kind heart, and he is willing to be his slave because of the kindness of the deputy leader, and he would rather be smeared with his brain in return for Esmeralda's dripping kindness. Although he has a strong affection for Esmeralda, he just guards her like a patron saint and does not blaspheme her. He was helpless and desperate when he witnessed the lover in his heart being hanged mercilessly. About two years later, people accidentally found a pair of skeletons hugging each other in a secret cave, and their posture was very strange. One is a woman, with a few pieces of white robe still on her body, and the one holding the skeleton tightly is a man. His spine is deformed, his head is tucked in his shoulder blades, and his legs are of different lengths. His cervical vertebra was not broken, so it can be concluded that the man who lived with this skeleton came here alone to die. When people want to separate his (her) bones, he suddenly turns to dust ... Finally, he goes to the cemetery to be buried with her. His ugliness reaches the extreme of human beings, and the profound human beauty shown in him makes him the most unique and touching artistic image in the history of literature. His spiritual beauty has completely covered up his appearance defects and has become a model of kindness in people's minds. And how many people are like this in our reality?
In the novel, quasimodo is not the only one who loves Esmeralda. Captain Faubis's love, taking part in accidental amusement, only seeks to satisfy the body's desire. Phoebus, who has a beautiful appearance, is like a bag of rotten gourd ladle at heart. He is a typical representative of external beauty, extremely distorted mind and ugliness. The love of Claude, the deputy leader, is gloomy and vicious, and what he can't get will be destroyed; Love before hate indirectly persecuted the gypsy girl Esmeralda. Granguwa, a poor poet, unfortunately fell into the hands of a group of unscrupulous people, and was rescued by Esmeralda by taking a fake marriage when his life was dying. The poor poet's love, economic understanding of the times, changed his mind immediately after being rejected. Notre Dame de Paris shows the love story of four men and one woman around Esmeralda. There are different ways of love in the process of four men's pursuit of Esmeralda, and what Hugo advocates is quasimodo's view of love. Quasimodo's love for Esmeralda is a "pure and long-lasting" love from the bottom of his heart. In this kind of love, there is no wealth, no blood, no looks, no rights, only love. Love is pure and selfless.
The end of the story is a tragedy, which seems to tell people that truth can only be a tragedy in front of people at that time! At the same time, this tragedy also exhorts people not to judge people by their appearances, but to learn to look for truth and falsehood, good and evil, beauty and ugliness in a complex and uneasy world. After all, truth is often in the hands of reasonable people! Therefore, people don't have to give up on themselves for their inherent shortcomings, let alone pursue the beauty of appearance excessively. It is what everyone should have to have a heart that is kind to others, selfless dedication, cherishing life, loving life and full of responsibility. At the same time, we should learn to cherish the feelings between people: affection, friendship, love … respect everyone around us, do more meaningful things in a short time, and don't wait for these wonderful highlights of life to pass away before regretting it.
Close the book gently. Pray silently in my heart, in that distant place, Esmeralda will be reborn, continue to dance for you, for me and for everyone, and keep singing that beautiful heart ...
Notre Dame de Paris reading notes
Notre Dame de Paris, a world-famous ancient church, showed me a real scene called fate and an illusion called making love.
Look at that! What a wonderful thing fate is, it makes a girl beautiful, she is as beautiful as a fairy, it makes a man ugly, and he is so ugly.
Esmeralda and Kasimodo, two people with different appearances, seem to be an angel and a devil. However, they have the same kind heart. She brought water to him who robbed her, and he comforted her who was disheartened and her business was shattered. He lived lightly for her, and she shed tears for him. Because of the teasing of fate, they all suffered from the torment of life. Because of the ignorance of fate, Esmeralda and Kasimodo, they came together with two lives.
Fate is not necessarily tragic, but it must be torturous.
Love has nearly ten thousand interpretations, and the light of love released in Notre Dame de Paris can be completely transferred to Esmeralda. As soon as you read it, you will know that Esmeralda is loved by five different people.
Sister Laurent Tower is a nun. Her love is called hate. The more she hates Esmeralda, who is considered a gypsy, the more she shows how much she loves her. It's just that she never dreamed that the owner of the red shoes she guards every day is her favorite daughter and the gypsy girl she hates most.
The poet Granguwa's love is respect. As her nominal husband, he has the simple heart that all poets have. Phoebus's love is called a game. He is the only one she loves, but he is an indecent person who regards love as a movie. Kasimodo's love is called staying away. He understands his ugliness and doesn't approach her, giving her the greatest help and love, and giving Esmeralda an excuse to be moved. What I want to emphasize is this man, Claude frollo, vice bishop of Notre Dame, whose love is terror, possession, killing and sin. In order to get love, he would rather let it die. His heart is terrible. He doesn't know what love is at all. He only knows what he has or what others lose.
Love and fate, they exist in the same place forever. They are not contradictory or relative. Destiny always turns into a language in love, and love always becomes beautiful because of fate. Fate is a dust that enters the eyes, waiting for a drop of tears to wash, and when the pearl of tears falls and flashes inside, it is called making love.
Reading in winter vacation: reading notes of Notre Dame de Paris
I spent a lot of time reading famous works this holiday.
Hugo is a writer I admire very much, and his Notre Dame Cathedral attracts me deeply. This work has all the elements of romanticism, the structure is tortuous and bizarre, the plot is dramatic, and the life is vividly portrayed.
The images of the three leading characters in this article have distinct personalities. The cruel, shameless and sanctimonious bishop of Flo and Luo, and Esmeralda, a girl from Pusai, are beautiful, kind and love dancing. Although Quasimodo looks strange and strange, he is kind-hearted, loyal to his adoptive father, loves Esmeralda, and sleeps with her underground, writing a gorgeous chapter of blood and tears, love and hate.
Several scenes described in the article are fresh in my memory.
One: Esmeralda's brisk dance steps, her dancing in the crowd, her skirt dancing with the wind, her rosy and happy face, her beautiful and beautiful singing voice, how shining she is in the crowd, releasing a shocking light.
Second; The godfather instigated Quasimodo to hijack Esmeralda. The serious and mighty godfather actually sent his adopted son to hijack a lovely girl in order to possess her. I was really surprised that the priest made such a low-level move regardless of his status and image.
Third; On the day before April Fool's Day, Quasimodo was elected as the king of fools by everyone. People dressed him in the king's clothes and carried him through the streets. Gasimo thinks that people's laughter is a blessing and worship to him, but it is full of people's ridicule and irony; In sharp contrast, what kind of people are there? They are insensitive and lack due conscience.
Fourth;
Soldiers rushed into the church to arrest Esmeralda. Quasimodo poured boiling water down from the church, threw the boulder below, and told Esmeralda not to go to the church gate. Unfortunately, love was shot by random arrows and died; Add grief-stricken, rushed into the cell, lying next to the body of love, tightly holding the hands of love, two people * * * with the underground, eternal life forever. Scenes of gripping pictures and thought-provoking changes again and again constitute this long book.
Notre Dame de Paris was completed by the author with painstaking efforts. It shows the desire and call for truth, goodness and beauty, and the disgust and contempt for falsehood and ugliness. Beauty includes two aspects: external beauty and internal beauty. Some people blindly pay attention to external beauty and ignore the improvement and perfection of internal beauty; Some people are born without external beauty, but they have extraordinary internal beauty, which is eternal; Others have both external beauty and internal beauty. Of course, this situation is the best. But if God lets you choose to have only one kind of beauty, then I hope you will not hesitate to choose inner beauty.

Notre Dame de Paris is the masterpiece of Hugo, a famous French19th century writer. The novel describes the bizarre life in Paris in the15th century. The author depicts a group of characters with vivid and artistic appeal by contrast, and analyzes the rich and complicated human world with their intricate contradictions and tragic fate.
The first group of characters are the gypsy girl Esmeralda and the bell ringer quasimodo. 16-year-old Esmeralda is beautiful, pure and kind, and good at singing and dancing, but at that time, such a flower-like life was sadly destroyed by the extremely conservative and decadent church forces. Quasimodo, a 20-year-old, is extremely ugly in appearance. His severe disability made him abandoned by his relatives and then by the whole society as soon as he came to the world. However, ugly as he is, he has a beautiful and pure heart. He guards Esmeralda with pure love without any impurities, trying to keep her away from all harm. But in the face of powerful social prejudice and evil forces, the personal strength is really insignificant, and the tough quasimodo finally has to choose favoritism as the tragic ending. The two protagonists have intertwined unfortunate lives, and the great contrast in appearance can't hide their pure and kind nature. Under the illumination of their perfect and beautiful nature, other characters in the novel all reveal their despicable nature.
Frollo, the vice bishop of Notre Dame, also fell in love with the beautiful Esmeralda, but his love with quasimodo was very different. frollo wore the sacred aura of the clergy, but his heart was unable to extricate himself because of the conflict, until his soul was twisted and full of evil desire for destruction, which eventually destroyed Esmeralda and himself. Hugo deeply analyzed the dark and twisted soul of this character with a compassionate attitude. The other two characters, one is the captain of Phoebus, who has a gorgeous appearance but a rotten heart-a rough and shallow playboy, who plays with a spoony Esmeralda by extremely bad means; The other is a lonely poet, Glen Guvo, a guy who lives in the cracks. In order to survive, he can abandon love, dignity and responsibility. The author's description of these two characters is also full of contempt and ridicule.
This novel not only reveals the essence of the dark society at that time from humanitarianism, but also tells us many profound life truths: first of all, a person's appearance does not determine everything. It is the heart that plays a more important role than the appearance. People can't pursue the beauty of appearance too much, and the purity and sincerity of the soul are what we need in our life. Similarly, we should judge a person from his inner qualities, and we should not judge him by his appearance. Because under the ugly appearance, there may be a fiery and pure heart hidden; Under the handsome and beautiful face, dirty, shameful, despicable and distorted people may also be buried deep. This point has been exemplified by the characters in the novel. Their results are also a warning to us. Secondly, when people live in the world, they should have positive life ideals and goals, and they should not drift with the tide and wander around. At any moment, they should have personal dignity and be clear about their tasks. You can't pollute your responsible mind because you indulge yourself. Finally, we should learn to cherish the feelings between people: affection, friendship, love … respect everyone around us, and don't wait for these wonderful highlights of life to pass away before regretting it. These, the characters in the story all show us the thought-provoking negative tragic consequences.
Finally, Hugo's magnificent momentum of writing on the scene, exquisite description of the characters, exquisite metaphor, wonderful description and capture of details all add a lot of color to the novel, which makes others happy after reading it. These techniques can also be used for reference in our usual writing to make the article more exciting!
