The Japanese Quince Themes

The main theme of the story can be expressed as a series of conflicts. Emotions or minds and customs or customs, aesthetics and practicality, communication and loneliness or self-centeredness, self-knowledge and intentional ignorance. Every businessman will get rid of boring and self-centered daily living due to natural invasion and sudden, harsh and beautiful consciousness. But when all businessmen became a bit uncomfortable to look romantic being an unrealistic beauty enthusiast, the short communication of their neighbors broke, everyone returned to real events, financial problems reported it was done. It is the world. Everyone has a symbol of a morning post. Everyone regains their own life within his own townhouse, daily life, and social customs (Neighbor's wife does not meet, even if they live, they meet socially Because it is not) for the next 5 years)

In the last sentence of the story, a flight from self-recognition to deliberate ignorance was proposed. Nielsen refused to analyze unfamiliar emotions disturbing him, but instead directed attention to the morning newspaper. Nielsen did not acknowledge that he was suffering from the idea of ​​contacting other people and did not realize that he reflected his aesthetic or romantic aspect on Tundrum, quantification and measurement It ran away to the practical world of. Nielsen not only quantifies the prices of meditative stocks such as Tintos' stock price (the beginning of the story) but also the anxious feeling and physical reasons to look for an exact physical location (just below the fifth rib) (I'd like to know if it exists or it may be what he ate the night before.) Therefore he was missing in his life that bothered him I did not notice that it was not important: beauty, friendship and emotion.

Mr. Nielsen is alienated from nature and mankind. He praised that he was walking in the square

It is a beautiful theme near the surface of "citrus". In a comment published in the review of the New York Times in 1920, Lewis Mercerfelt commented, "To summarize the words represented by John Gulworthy, whether it is expressions or beliefs, The event "Japan papaya" supports this word and explains it through the spring morning explanation, papaya songs, black birds, respect for beauty through stories. The meaning of Galsworthy is that as long as we ignore the beauty that the world brings, people are divided and isolated. - I am deprived of the ability to deny sense and to heal

At first glance, Galsworthy's "The Japanese Quince" looks simple, but the simplicity of the surface of this story is deceiving. Mr. Nielsen, a wealthy businessman, left the garden square near his house on a beautiful spring day. In his reconsideration in the spring, in addition to his name he met and talked with indifferent neighbors, he became self-conscious and returned to his house. This summary does not account for Nielsen's interest in his mind, but while Japanese papaya and blackbirds are at the center of the linearity and gravity of the story, this can stimulate his walk, It is a reasonable summary of what is still happening. Noteworthy of the story of Galsworthy 's obviously not the originality of his conspiracy, the depth of his depiction, he is neither O. Henry nor James Joyce.
