Chapter 617 The Red Queen and the White Queen
Chapter 617 The Red Queen and the White Queen
What kind of fairy tale is Chu Kuang's "Alice in Wonderland"?
In fact, the story itself is not complicated.
The little girl named Alice entered a fairyland-like world, met many interesting friends, and experienced many absurd and magical encounters.
In this world, the White Queen confronts the Red Queen.
In the end, Alice helps the White Queen and defeats the Red Queen.
Finally, Alice woke up.
She realizes that there is no magic in this world, and the so-called fairyland is just her dream.
What is really complicated about this story is the moral.
Every line and every plot in this novel seems to have a special meaning.
In this regard, different readers are destined to have different feelings.
Some people are even confused after reading it.
Some people think they understand it, but after thinking about it, they are not sure whether they really understand it.
So after the novel was released, the first hot comment in the novel comment area on Xingkong.com was impressively:
"Strange and absurd fairy tale."
And the second hot comment seems to be some kind of response to the first:
"Oddly cute, oddly funny, oddly absurd, oddly wonderful."
This kind of strangeness appears in many corners of fairy tales.
For example, if you drink a potion, you will become bigger...
For example, if you eat cookies, you will become smaller...
Like rabbits and cats can talk...
For example, the meaningful dialogue in the novel:
"Which way should I go?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"I have no idea."
"Then it's the same no matter how you go."
"If you go the wrong way."
"Then I'll make a way."
Another example is the beautiful and evocative lines in the novel:
[The only way to achieve the "impossible" is to believe it is possible. 】
【It is useless to go back to yesterday, because the past me is different from today. 】
【People always think that time is a thief who stole everything we love. But time is given first and then taken away, every day is a gift, every hour, every minute, every second. 】
[The best people are a little crazy. 】
[In our country, you can only stay in place if you keep running. 】
certainly.
It also includes the question that many people have not been able to find the answer to:
Why is a crow like a writing desk?
But no doubt about it.
Everyone loves this fairy tale.
The storm of book reviews officially kicked off at this moment.
"Chu Kuang's fairy tale is absurd and cute. It's not in vain. I was the first batch of pre-order readers. I like this story not because of how fantastic her process is, but because of the last sentence. Maybe after many years, the little girl will become A woman, and I'm no longer the girl with Alice syndrome, but at least I'm doing well."
"Lazy and free, I like this kind of carefree."
"There was a time when I often had nightmares, in which someone was always trying to kill me, but I was not afraid at all, because I knew it was just a dream, and I could wake up anytime I wanted."
"This fairy tale is actually recommended for more adults to read."
"I also think this is a fairy tale for adults. The essence of dreams is absurd, and the beauty hides extreme irony. Ugliness and beauty, and even good and evil are always relative, contradictory and unified."
"Why do you feel uncomfortable watching this fairy tale?"
"Actually, it's not that mysterious. I feel that Chu Kuang's fairy tale is telling us not to be swayed by the secular world and the shackles of the outside world, and stick to what we think in our hearts. Alice was originally a person who dared to focus on her dreams and was not used to the current situation at that time." All kinds of rules and regulations, Alice in the upper part is such a person, but after her father died, she gradually lost her bravery, until she came to Wonderland again and found herself again."
"..."
The story of the original work is a bit poor, a bit of a running account.
Lin Yuan didn't drastically change the plot, but he highlighted the story, such as the confrontation between the White Queen and the Red Queen.
This is conducive to character creation, and it can also make everyone feel more substituting when they are dreaming in Wonderland.
This idea refers to Earth's film and television adaptation of the Alice series.
The effect is not bad.
With the illustration of the shadow, the eating effect is doubled.
In a slightly adapted story, the Red Queen is cruel and the White Queen is kind.
But the reason why the Red Queen became cruel was because she was hurt by the White Queen when she was young.
as a child.
The white queen ate the fruit, but the fruit dropped in the red queen's room.
The mother questioned the red queen, but the red queen refused to admit it, and asked the white queen to confess, but the white queen did not admit that she had eaten the fruit tart because of her timidity.
The mother scolded the Red Queen.
The eldest daughter, the Red Queen, was wronged and ran out of the room angrily. She smashed her head and turned into a big-headed monster. As a result, this ugly image was ridiculed by the people.
The Red Queen felt insulted and threatened to cut off the heads of these people.
The father was furious, announcing on the spot that the red queen lost the right of inheritance, and the white queen would inherit the country.
This is why in the story, the White Queen is opposed to the Red Queen.
Many readers are arguing about this episode.
Some people think that the Red Queen is pure-hearted, but she was blackened only because of this experience when she was young. The White Queen should tell the truth instead of letting her sister be wronged.
Some people think that the White Queen was still young at that time and didn't understand these things.
The reason for the blackening of the Red Queen is that the Red Queen was not a good person. She killed too many innocent people, and she couldn't blame all her mistakes on the shadow of her childhood, so as to clean up the Red Queen's faults.
"no one loves Me."
The Red Queen always mutters like this: "Compared to being cute, it is still more practical to be scary."
The Red Queen's means of ruling is power.
The White Queen's means of ruling is kindness.
When this kind of debate tends to expand, someone said: "The red queen is simple but terrifying, and the white queen is kind but lacks a certain amount of responsibility. I think what Chu Kuang wants to express is that the two queens can learn from each other's strengths."
It's interesting...
In most fairy tales, the villains are hated.
However, the evaluation of the Red Queen was not overwhelmingly criticized, and there were many people who sympathized with her.
Probably because the Red Queen is very friendly to some deformed people, because she herself is a macrocephalic child whose head was injured and mutated due to the stimulation of her sister.
At the end of the story, Lin Yuan also arranged for the century-old reconciliation between the Red Queen and the White Queen.
The Red Queen was petrified.
For the first time, the White Queen ignored her manners and ran away with her petrified sister, causing herself to be petrified.
After the curse is broken, the White Queen apologizes to the Red Queen for what happened when she was a child.
The Red Queen said: "I have been waiting for these words all these years, and this is all I want."
Lin Yuan's writing method is absolutely neutral.
The story of the Red Queen and the White Queen is left for readers to evaluate.
But Alice has actually chosen the White Queen, probably because the Red Queen has imposed pain on too many people because of her personal pain.
There is no way to wash this.
Lin Yuan didn't plan to wash either.
It’s like the white queen’s portrayal is not as pure and flawless as she shows to the outside world. This is an anti-traditional fairy tale thinking. Even the kind white queen has her own flaws, which is similar to the vicious red queen. Miserable and as bad as it is straight and simple.
Improved storytelling...
The thinking of the plot...
Absurdly interesting...
Philosophy of language...
Coupled with the description and mastery of the picture by shadow painting, everyone seems to have watched a movie rather than a simple fairy tale novel. These are the necessary factors for the popularity of "Alice in Wonderland".
Yes.
Alice.
It's already on fire.
—————
ps: I refer to the plot of the movie version. Although the movie has many shortcomings, I feel that the creation of the Red Queen is quite good. This kind of creation is also in line with the characteristics of no one is perfect. This fairy tale is interesting and philosophical, and there is no opposite in other fairy tales absolute good and evil.
