The first chapter of idiot, on the train to Petersburg

"For real literature, it should be like eating bread, breaking it into small pieces and crushing it, putting it in the palm of your hand to smell the fragrance of literature, then chewing it and tasting it with your tongue," Nabokov said in a Russian literature speech Only at this time, the rare flavor of literature, as well as the real value, can be appreciated The crushed parts will be reassembled in the brain to show the beauty of the whole, and you have contributed your blood to the beauty " In this period of time, I wrote book reviews with deep feelings, and I very much agreed with Nabokov's words A good literary work can be read over and over again to find the details below the surface, such as the structure, rhetoric, clues and artistic expression The novel "idiot" was read half a year ago, but it didn't leave a deep impression It mainly felt that the plot was absurd, the characters were generally a little nervous, even hysterical But recently in reading, there are often famous writers who mention Dostoevsky, so they have to pay attention to him As a form of artistic expression, we can't be too strict with the authenticity of the novel After all, it's a fictional plot, which can bring us the enjoyment of beauty It's a good work There is only one scene in the first chapter of the idiot, that is, the dialogue between the Duke of meshkin, rogarin and the civil servant berekov in the third class carriage of the train In addition to revealing the identity and family background of these three people, the reader also gets more information from the conversation contents, such as the beautiful woman Natasha, her foster lover Trotsky intends to marry another noble lady, how Luo Guoren bought an ear pendant for Natasha, and so on Generally speaking, Dostoevsky's writing method is very simple He is used to go straight to the theme at the beginning of the article, explain the time, place and characters in three words, and then gather several important figures to talk and chat together Through the content of conversation, readers can understand each person's psychology and personality through what they say As for appearance, Dostoevsky is used to describing the basic features in a simple way at the beginning, and will not talk about them in the future Dostoevsky is very good at describing conversations where many people get together The dialogue is well connected and closely connected This is a key point for learning.
