An Analysis of "The Magic Barrel"

Analysis of "Magic Bucket" Bernard Malamud's short story "Magic Bucket" was held in New York, centering on Leo Finkle's Leo Finkle, a Jewish student who is scheduled to be appointed soon. I hope that marriage can help him win the congregation and Finkle calls for the help of a marriage broker under the name of Pinye Salzman. Salzman presented the card to Leo with a card. Each represents a potential marriage candidate. Because there are so many candidates, Salzman claims to fill these cards.

So what is the importance of the story "Magic Bucket"? Recall that Finkel wanted to find what she wanted in Salzman's "barrel", but he could not find it here. Instead, he found that the person he wants to marry in fact can not find in that bucket. This is the same person who led him to redemption. From this point it can be said that some "bucket" can not find the way of salvation, but as Finkel said, this is just "imaginary imagination". This simple redemption method is only "magic", it does not really exist. After all, pursuit of reimbursement is full of pain and pain, and is supported only by the unwilling love of one person and the will of others.

In our society, we confuse feeling of enchantment with love. Leo Finkle is a Jewish student at the University of Yeshivah in the hero's "magical barrel". After six years of study he is appointed and he told him that if he is trying to get married, he may think that building a congregation is easier. Leo thinks that this is difficult as he has no desire to get married. His career as a rabbi gave him a little time to build a personal relationship. So he thought about this idea, he decided to need help, so he contacted a person named Salzman. Salzman is an opponent of the story. Salzman has a commercial organization that functions as a competitor. When Leo met Salzmann, he was disappointed with his narrow choice. Salzman 's excuse is that he has lots of people at home, he must put them in a bucket, not every woman is very good with Rabbi.

Bernard Malamud's 1954 short story "Magic Barrel" is one of the most famous literary works on matchmaking. With the New York Yiddish culture, Malamud knit a story about a mysterious stranger who promised to find a wife for a busy rabbi. It can be seen in the complete story of Malamud published by Farrar, Straus & Gireaux in 1997. Indeed, Wilder used two paragraphs. They adopted them directly from L'Avare of Molière translated into English as The Miser. Moliére: Two versions of Four Plays published by Branden Publishing Co. in 1999
