There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in his life.
More sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth.
From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one.
Then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine.
And, dying, it rises above its own agony to outcarol the lark and the nightingale.
One superlative song, existence the price.
But the whole world stills to listen, and God in his Heaven smiles.
For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain or says the legend.
Ralph的一生都是在无谓的矛盾的思考中度过,Meggie靠燃烧着一生三次的见面回忆取暖余下的人生。Justin对所有常人会追逐的利益,金钱,甚至爱情的欲望都像她最后和雷恩见面时那无力的柴火一样在个人主义下灰飞烟灭。
看到一篇论文《justine's female consciousness in The Thorn Bird》,详细阐述了西方宗教下的爱情悲剧,就像红字和巴黎圣母院一样。她的追求自由,平等意识,性别意识以及最后的抛弃彷徨,实际也为现代女性树立了一个反叛自信勇敢的女性形象。
最后想说的是,一定要支持正版。正看得情绪激昂的时候出现一个错字真是太让心情打折扣了。
BTW,评论越写越少。。 |
