In the fierce class struggle, the bourgeoisie is advancing step by step towards the decadent aristocracy.

Writing background (2)

Under such circumstances, some aristocrats were corrupted by bourgeois ideas and just wanted to get rich quickly and surrender to the bourgeoisie, such as Rastignac; some aristocrats thought they were of noble birth and distinguished family, and although they were strong on the outside but capable on the inside, they had an arrogant attitude.

Introduction to the famous novel Goriot PPT, the third part: Content Introduction

The novel is set in Paris from the end of 1819 to the beginning of 1820. It mainly tells two parallel and intersecting stories: the retired noodle seller Goriot was neglected by his two daughters and died tragically in the attic of Vauquer's apartment. The young Rastignac embarked on a path of depravity under the influence of Parisian society. It also intersperses the stories of Madame de Beauseion and Vautrin. Through the two main stages of shabby apartments and luxurious aristocratic salons, which are constantly alternating, the author paints a series of materialistic and extremely ugly pictures of Parisian society, exposing the moral decay and human nature of the bourgeoisie under the control of money. The ruthlessness between people reveals that under the attack of the bourgeoisie, the aristocratic class will inevitably perish, truly reflecting the characteristics of the Bourbon Restoration period.

Typical character analysis - Old Man Gao

The image of fatherly love destroyed by money

In society, Old Man Goriot is a bourgeois, conforming to the times and chasing money. However, in the family, he is a laggard of the times. He still retains his infatuation for his deceased wife and daughter, which has reached a morbid and crazy level. He put blood love higher than money, so he spent all his money and eventually died tragically in the apartment.

The contradictory character of Old Man Goriot is the product of the era of rapid social transformation from patriarchal system to capitalism. His tragic death is clear evidence that money destroys humanity, corrupts conscience, and destroys families. Its essence is the tragedy of the feudal patriarchal concept being defeated by the bourgeois moral principle of money supremacy.

Typical character analysis - Rastignac

The aristocratic children transformed into typical examples of bourgeois careerists.

The transformation from aristocrat to bourgeoisie is the transformation of his class attributes, and the transformation from simple provincial youth to shameless careerist is the decline of his moral character.

Rastignac's transformation is clear evidence that money destroys human nature and corrupts conscience. At the same time, it shows the changes of the times, that is, the children of the aristocracy cannot withstand the temptation of money and fall into the arms of the bourgeoisie. This is an important reason for the decline of the aristocracy.

Typical character analysis - Vautrin

The embodiment of evil and the representative of the villain.

He is fierce, cunning, and ambitious. He is the exposer and creator of evils in capitalist society, and he is extremely destructive to society.

As the incarnation of evil, Vautrin has a rationale for his existence: First, he was nourished by the soil of the capitalist money society at that time, and second, he was nurtured by the social and historical development dynamics at the expense of the loss of human nature.

Tip: The love for your daughter is also reflected in the scolding.

For example, when old man Gao couldn't see his daughter, he cursed her "viciously" several times, "They are just dirty things, a gangster." "Catch them! Call the guards, call the army!"

These curses cannot be said to be cruel, but they exactly reflect the deep love that Old Man Gao has for his two daughters. After every curse, Old Man Goriot would immediately deny that he had cursed them: "Who said that? You know I love them!" After cursing, what he thought about was to earn money for his daughter to attend the Olympiad. He blamed his daughter's unfilial piety on his son-in-law, "My son-in-law didn't allow them to come. Kill them! Kill Lesdo! Kill Nucingen! They are my murderers!"

Introduction to the famous novel Goriot PPT, part six: the use of contrastive techniques

Artistic contrast techniques are widely used in "Petro Goriot".

The strong contrast between the Apartment Vauquer and the House of Beauselon not only prompted Rastignac's personal ambition to expand violently, but also showed that whether it is a prestigious wealthy family or a poor and bleak inn, they are still full of money worship and despicableness. Shameless.

The noble and solemn Mrs. Beauseon is in sharp contrast to the vulgar and powerful Vautrin. One is gentle and the other is outspoken. But different languages ​​reveal the same truth, and their theories of seeing through society contrast with the tragic failures in their own lives, deepening the meaning of tragedy.
