爱,愚蠢,问题
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
Love:
“ but suddenly I was sure that when I left the water Brenda would be gone. I'd be alone in this damn place. I started for the side and pulled myself up and ran to the chairs and Brenda was there and I kissed her.”
“That's it, Brenda. Please, no more games," I said, and then when I spoke again I held her so tightly I almost dug my body into hers, "I love you," I said, "I do.”
我觉得Neil的爱带点吊桥效应。确实Brenda妥协得更多,但同时Neil的感全感更少,也更敏感,虽然不知道最后他是故意吵架分手还是真的因为多疑。也因此他一直想要用各种手段捆住Brenda,让自己来掌控局面。
Obtuseness&Nasty:
“That was pretty crude."
"Don't be prissy," she said.
"No, I mean a crude thing to say about me."
"I don't understand," she said, and she didn't, and that she didn't pained me; I allowed myself the minor subterfuge, however, of forgiving Brenda her obtuseness. "Do you?" she said.”
“Was it obtuseness again? I thought not—and it wasn't, for Brenda said, "When you love me, there'll be nothing to worry about.”
Questions:
Why does he think that “a sense of relax when she disobeyed him”?
Why does he say “O Brenda I love you” ?
Who chose what, when, why, how? Did Neil decide before there argument that they should break up? IF so, when? IF so, what role does Brenda play?
Brenda与母亲的吵架(在厨房)是事实上是关于什么?(一种解释:Natural happiness you do when your kids get married, a kind of jealousy and fear that you yourself is being buried and replaced alive, driven into emptiness)The bigger your lungs get, the more you are going to hate your mother.
Brenda与父母的关系分别是怎样的?父亲给她留的钱的消失意味着什么?她说她要把钱在妈妈面前撕碎意味什么?Replacing her father with Neil (husband).
An acute crisis of masculinity: he is feeling the eyes of other man upon him (the ex of Brenda; and Ron; the boy called Brenda Buck).How is Neil going to play the role in the marriage? 1)4 minutes a mile: 1 tradition 2)The other: library—feminized
She trained Neil as replacement of her brother, father, and mother. “She meant, I was sure, that I was somehow beginning to look the way she wanted me to. Like herself.”
题目有什么含义? Goodbye, Columbus, what does it mean economically? Sentimental song?
