Chapter 343
Chapter 343
should be about the mouse’s ending, not the wizard’s.
Generally speaking, this is a story full of metaphors throughout.
One advantage of metaphor is that it can help readers quickly understand the context of the story, but there is also a disadvantage of metaphor. It will carry too much thought of the author and make the story unobjective. In addition, there is another disadvantage, that is It will make the interpreter of the story confused, and if he is unlucky, he will interpret the wrong result.
This story uses a mouse as a metaphor for humans, and people speculate about God’s thinking with the mouse’s thinking, which is ridiculous in itself. So the point of the story is not what the gray wizard and the dark wizard think, but what the gray wizard and the dark wizard do, and what role the mouse plays in their eyes.
Remove the emotional color, leave the narrative structure, sort out the cause and effect, this is the truth of the story. Melville’s story is not for everyone, but for those who can understand.
As for where he learned the story, why he insisted on using metaphors to write it, and why he set himself on fire after writing the story… This is not what Kai Xin wants to focus on.
Kai Xin turned around and left the exhibition hall. She passed the oil painting exhibition hall and saw a painting that was burning like a flame hanging in the center on the marble wall.
The man in the painting is struggling in the raging fire, holding up a human skin book in his hand.
The title of the painting is “Melville Burning Soul”.
