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 pided.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

The feeling after reading The Red and the Black

----------------a tragedy of an ambitious manJust as Napoleon said, “Every French soldier carries a marshal’s baton in his knapsack”, Julien had an ambition in his heart.He was born in a peasant family, but he believed that he didn’t belong here.His background made him feel ashamed, and he decided never to give in to the fate.He always thought that he should be proud and he always behaved so.Actually, this is the symbol of his inferiority.The more inferior he felt, the more proudly he behaved, and he just wanted to hide his inferiority complex for his background.With these thoughts, he always wanted to conquer himself to get stronger, so he always imagined lots of battles and enemies.The love with Mrs.de Renal was one of his battles.The poor Mrs.de Renal was just a sacrifice.Having been loved with Mrs.de Renal just for a few months, Julien forgot her completely and decided to marry Mathillde.Even such a proud woman as Mathilde fell to Julien’s feet.But both Mrs.de Renal and Mathilde were too innocent, even ignorant, and they were both hurt deeply for the breaking of love.Maybe you can never judge a person only by his appearance, and remember never to give your priceless love to a person who has nothing but a handsome face.Although Julien had too many sins, he deserved our sympathy, after a, he was punished and was sentenced to death.What a tragedy he was!He was always hostile to nobles and always pursued a higher social position.Didn’t he feel tired?

第五篇：《红与黑》读书笔记

《红与黑》读书笔记

读《红与黑》是一段太过漫长的过程，因为时间已给了作家和作品最无私而又公正的评判，我的阅读态度自不能像对畅销书那样肆无忌惮，又不能像对言情小说那样不置可否。我是在用心灵去与那个时代交谈，重点也放在历史以外的探究和思考。

引领我啃完着本书的是其本身的巨大魅力。作者从一纸简单的刑事案件资料中展示出那个时代广阔的社会画面，把一个普通的刑事罪行提高到对十九世纪初期法国资产阶级社会制度，进行历史和哲学研究的水平。小说令我看到在生硬的历史书上无法感受的，那段法国大贵族和资产阶级交替执政的关键时期的状况。我从中了解到现实主义作品的另一种艺术特色——司汤达倾心的人的“灵魂辨证法”；这与以往我从《高老头》、《欧也妮·格朗台》中体会的巴尔扎克的“造成一个人的境遇”有很大不同。

全书最耀眼也是文学史上著名的人物自然是于连·索雷尔，“平民出身，较高文化，任家庭教师，与女主人发生恋情，事露，枪杀恋人，被判死刑”是他一生的骨架，“追求”幸福的“热情”和“毅力”、对阶级差异的反抗所表现出近乎英雄的气概就是动人的血肉。作者用淡化物质描写而突出心灵跟踪的手法强化的，正是于连处在青年的冲动下追求“英雄的梦想”经历，这是对那个社会形态的反抗，也是对碌碌无为、虚度青春的反抗。

在社会现实阻碍实现抱负时只有两种选择：退避或是反抗。那些当着小职员不求上进、整天抱怨生活乏味的青年就是退避者，他们或许平庸得舒适却被社会的前进所淘汰。能不断树立人生目标、决定实现人生理想的便是和于连有同样气概的反抗者。这个时代当然不欢迎虚伪的言行作为手段，但仍然需要对生活的热情来反抗空虚的度日。这样，于连悲剧性的结局除了昭示“个人反抗行不通”外，就有了对当今社会更实际的意义。

于连.索莱尔的命运时时刻刻牵动着我。综观他极其短暂，却满是波折动荡的年轻生命，流淌着太多矛盾和复杂。对此，人们可以作出很多评判——是个小私有者盲目追求个人利益的悲剧；一个野心家的毁灭；一个反封建斗士的牺牲等等。各有各的看法，但又都在情理之中。就我以为，说于连是个个人主义野心家固然不错，但不如说他是个追求幸福而又不幸走上歧途的人更为确切些。自然这种歧途不是简单地采取了某种有背社会道德的手段，而是来自他心灵更深处的矛盾本质。

于连的一生都在追求幸福。他虽出身卑贱，却有幸受到良好的教育，又有着杰出的智慧，所以他日后能厕身在所谓的上流社会中。什么是幸福，怎样得到幸福，是困惑着人类几千年的问题，也同样困惑着我们的于连。在他心目中，幸福并没有确切的标准，只是在他的心计，在他的警觉，他的一个又一个的“作战计划”及其实施当中。他为第一次摆脱了父兄的虐待而幸福，为德.莱纳夫人面前履行“某种责任”而幸福，为骄傲的玛蒂尔德在自己面前屈服而幸福，为一次次地发迹而幸福得要命。他渴望幸福，渴望飞黄腾达，他发誓宁可死一千次也要飞黄腾达。为此，他制出了一个又一个“作战计划”，使出各种虚伪手段，他超人的智慧发挥的淋漓尽致。但他毕竟是个好苗子，所以在每每幸福之时，他又会扪心自问，深深自责。因此，他的计划总会漏洞百出，总会让人怀疑。

我们不难发现于连在这种幸福的标准是以社会和他人标准为标准，追求他人和社会的承认。实质上，他并没有获得多少快乐和幸福，反而使他处在一种紧张状

态，仅仅是感到“快乐的到了极点”，兴奋地跑来跑去，一种“野心家实现后的狂喜”，只是片刻激情而已，剩下的是想着紧接着应该在制定一个计划。这些所谓的幸福仅仅是表象而已，于连为了表象而牺牲了本质。当他以为德.莱纳夫人的一封信断送了他的幸福时，他想到了报复，最终被投进了监狱。在狱中反而使他从社会的束缚解脱出来，获得了自由。他卸下了往日一切伪装和面具，找到了真实的自我，也找到了本质的幸福。他放弃了逃跑和上诉，能够真诚地对待每一位朋友，坦然地面对死亡。

对于于连的爱情，我们同样怀着强烈的兴趣。因为于连的成功幸福既而毁灭都与他的爱情紧密联系着的。他的两个恋人——德.莱纳夫人和玛蒂尔德伴着短暂而奋斗的一生，所以不妨分别来看看于连与两个恋人的恋情。于连和德.莱纳夫人的爱情始于于连对她的诱惑。起初，他只是在履行所谓的“责任”，这是一种对贵族老爷的报复，一种虚荣的满足。但是德.莱纳夫人的善良、淳朴、温柔深深地打动了于连。一段时间，他疯狂地爱上了德.莱纳夫人。可惜这颗爱心又很快被种种野心占有了，直至最后才又复燃，爆发。

写至此，不得不引到这部小说的一个“创举”——使于连与德·雷纳尔夫人“心灵的爱情”和于连与德·拉莫尔小姐“头脑的爱情”相映成趣。尽管这两个贵族女性的爱情方式迥然不同，一个深沉，一个狂热，他们在这两个基本点上却是一致的，那就是：对本阶级的厌恶，对封建门阀制度的叛逆。记得当于连发现自己的爱情正蜕变成虚荣的工具时说“我把自己毁了”，可之后的细节是“一种高傲之间带着恶意的表情很快的代替了最真挚、最强烈的爱情的表情。”这时的贵族小姐却是摆脱了一向慢得像乌龟爬一样的生活，用丧失尊严的方法博得爱情。书中两段悲剧爱情的进展始终伴随着新贵的若即若离和于连的自卑带来的怀疑，直至生命将要终结时，爱情才爆发出无济于事的原始的火花，令人感怀。当我将落笔时，发现用意识写出感想的时间已可与用精神阅读原著的时间相比较了。我兴奋于自己得到反抗平庸的启示，感动于那些尽管扭曲而依然壮烈的爱情片段。当有人提及《红与黑》，我可以自豪地在回答“我读过”后面加上一句“我也掩卷沉思过”。
