The Magic Barrel

Most people are looking for love in their lives. They are looking for love among many different people. Some people believe they find a place that needs love, others think that they must pursue love. In the story of Malamud, the character in "Magical Bucket" states "Before, not love and right people" (Malamud 49). This means that when two people find the right person, they find love. Defining love is always one of the most difficult words to define in English.

At the beginning of Bernard Malamud, The Magic Barrel, beginning with children's book style, seems to be a fairy tale. But not so, each role plays a role. Love and discover who is the subject of the story, young Leo looking for love that does not exist. I did not look for what he wanted, but after each experience he changed all my understanding of who he is.

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.
