Chapter 25 Stendhal

I hope you will read two of Stendhal's novels.First, read, and if you like it as much as I do, go on to The Monastery of Parma.First let me tell you that Stendhal is my favorite novelist.I like his simple and precise way of expression, as well as his calm and precise psychological analysis.He dissected people's hearts with keen insight.Drive is the one quality he admires most.Of all the characters he has created, the ones he has painstakingly researched and created are those who do not let any difficulty stand in their way.They are determined, as long as it is a matter of decision, even if they commit crimes, they must achieve their goals.In my opinion, the first two-thirds of the content is unparalleled, and the second third is a failure.There is only one reason.Stendhal bases the whole story on fact, but the hero he created, Julien Sorel, drifted off the track of reality with his creativity (as we always do when we write our own novels), so when When Stendhal forces Julien to return to the situation he imagined, you will feel dissatisfied, because you can't believe that such an arrogant and determined careerist can be so stupid as to not care about the consequences at all.
