The Red and the Black

The Red and the Black is a profound and witty book about the rise of a poor, handsome and intellectually gifted, young provincial into the salons of High Society in Paris.Handsome and ambitious, Julien Sorel is determined to rise above his humble peasant origins and make something of his life-by adopting the code of hypocrisy by which his society operates.Julien ultimately commits a crime-out of passion, principle, or insanity-that will bring about his downfall.The Red and the Black is a lively, satirical picture of French Restoration society after Waterloo, riddled with corruption, greed, and ennui.The complex, sympathetic portrayal of Julien, the cold exploiter whose Machiavellian campaign is undercut by his own emotions, makes him Stendhal's most brilliant and human creation-and one of the greatest characters in European literature.I really enjoyed this book.Unlike many reviewers, I feel the book does transcend time.American people and culture today, computers and all, are a lot like those in Stendhal's 19th century France.The main characters strike me as real, and quite complex.Julien is a typical adolescent/ young adult: Idealistic, searching and unsure of himself.To me, it is amazing to what how the world interacts with and alters his self-image.Mathilde is equally interesting.She reminds me of a flighty alternative girl, looking for a dream of simmering romance.And MME de Renal is a wonderful, believable woman, falling in love late in life, victim of the missing husband syndrome.Like people today, Stedhal's characters are a bundle of contradictions.Is Julien a villain, an angel, a self-serving climber or a man truly in love, searching for his higher self? Aloof or loveable? Is MME de Renal a devout, moral patroness, devoted to her family, or the vilest of adulators, ready to turn her back on duty for the simmer of love? Is Mathilde submissive, or arrogant and dominant?The answer to all questions is yes.We are all divided.Be honest with yourself for a minute.Aren't people sometimes cruel, and

sometimes kind;Sometimes, honest, sometimes mildly deceitful, telling white lies, and sometimes bold-faced liars? Since Stendhal is faithful to this, and does not give us character in black and white, he has produced a masterpiece.

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 Stendha l, 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 pa-pe-r'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 hostein 1827.When Stendhal read the story in the newspa-pe-r, 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

第五篇：《紅與黑》讀書筆記

小說不僅十分成功地塑造了于連·索黑爾這個極富時代色彩，又具有鮮明個性的藝術形象，而且通過主人公于連的經歷，展示了法國復辟王朝時期廣闊的時代畫卷，觸及到當時許多尖銳的社會問題。

于連到底是怎樣一個人？

他勇敢，出生卑微卻敢于追求資產階級闊佬的夫人

他膽怯，去巴黎面試侯爵助理的時候，凝重的氣氛可以讓他害怕的他真實，拒絕了艾麗莎的愛慕，不為她所擁有的遺產而魑魅獻殷

他虛偽，兩段愛情的開端都源于他的虛榮心作祟，而不是自己真實的情感

他矜持，對于上流社會的種種不為所動，不阿諛奉承，對于美麗的德?瑞納夫人和巴黎最漂亮的姑娘瑪蒂爾德?德?拉莫爾都表示了反感和被動

他偽善，為兩個女人爬梯子偷情，面對深陷的愛情毫無尊嚴；

他自信，果斷霸氣的回復來自上層階級的侮辱

他自餒，常常怨艾自己的卑賤身世，和自己高攀的可笑

小說主人公于連的經歷和遭遇反應了當時廣大小資產階級青年的普遍命運。于連生性聰穎、高傲、熱情、堅毅，但又自私、多疑。在僧侶貴族當政、門閥制度森嚴的封建社會，因出生平民而備受歧視。這種受壓迫的地位使他滋長了對現實的不滿情緒：啟蒙思想和拿破侖的影響，培養了他的反搞性格。他立志要像拿破侖那樣靠個人才智建立功勛，飛黃騰達。但是在復辟時期，拿破侖式的晉身之道已被貴族階層堵死了。

就在這樣的巖石底下，一株小樹彎彎曲曲地生長。于連為了博取大家用賞識，明知毫無價值，卻還把拉丁文的《新約全書》背得滾瓜爛熟。他那驚人的背誦能力讓他跨進了維立葉爾市長家，當起家庭教師來。在那段時期，他與德.瑞那夫人發生了曖昧關系，大部分是為了反抗和報復貴族階級對他的凌辱。但是，紙醉金迷、利欲熏心的上流社會也腐蝕了于連的靈魂，助長了他向上爬的欲望和野心。

于連進入陰森恐怖的神學院后，親眼目睹了勾心斗角、爾虞我詐的丑惡內幕，于是他便耍起了兩面派手法，這種表里不一的行為居然得到院長的表睞和寵幸。神學院的生活進一步扭曲了于連的性格，強化了他向上爬的野心和虛偽的作風。于連給木爾侯爵當私人秘書后雖然還不時流露出平民階級的思想意識，但在受到侯爵重用，征服瑪特爾小姐后，于連的“平民階級叛逆心”已消失。他成了復辟王朝的忠實走卒。正當于連一步步走向他所向往的“光明”時，因槍擊德·瑞那夫人而徹底斷送了自己的前程，把自己送上了斷頭臺。

作為一部優秀的批判現實主義小說，《紅與黑》并沒有從概念出發，將主人公于連圖解成一個追求功利的符號。相反，作者卻給予了他深切的同情，通過人對欲念的執著追求與追求不到的痛苦來批判那個時代特定的社會現實，這也是《紅與黑》流傳至今魅力長存的原因。
