The Representation of Marriage in The Old World Landowners and A Gentle Creature

Among their short stories, Gogol and Dostoevsky are giving readers a snapshot of the life of two different couples, and in doing so may be special for modern readers. Currently married in a non-residential way. However, for contemporary readers, there were many other Russian literature at that time, so these short stories will be more relevant. These roles, for example Dostoevsky's "kind creatures" are based on local news projects known to many people who read short stories.

Robert Bresson's first color movie "Une Femme Douce" ("Tender Female") is based on Dostoevsky's short story "The Gentle Creature" and focuses on nominally "gentle". Elle (Dominic) Sanda), we met at the beginning of the movie shortly after her suicide.The story was revealed by her question-and-answer guy · frangin, Because he is trying to understand why she committed suicide, despite her first protest he met in her shop and married her, the first strange From pairing, the pawn shop noticed that he could not fully understand his wife: he took her to the opera and bought her records and books, but she I was still dissatisfied.One night she reached for him to kill but I could not catch the trigger

At a certain level, "a gentle creature" is a love story. However, "gentle creature" does not satisfy the romantic ideal, but draws a battlefield. It communicates the power struggle between the talker and his wife, not through each other's happiness submitted to each other. Her husband has the story time of all stories, but his wife eventually win through her death. The whole story is a wasteful effort of waste trying to regain the power lost by his wife's suicide.

Reading roughly, the plot of "gentle creatures" seems very obvious. We met a narrator whose mandatory power forced his wife to escape from death. But it is the details of the power struggle of the text that leads people to conclude that the narrator "gentle creatures" are actually enough to win. Through her death, she eliminated the power needed for a person laughed by society to control her own life. His story is an attempt to regain this power, but she exceeds his rule forever.
