Those Beautiful Flowers

---Book Review: “Camille”

I read the Chinese version of “Camille” a few years ago. At that time I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas, fils, is the story of Marguerite Gautier, a young courtesan, or kept woman, in Paris in the mid 1800's, and how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval, and then tries to escape from her questionable past. Unfortunately, it comes back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone, but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart. When I first began to read the book, I did not care for Marguerite or her attitude or lifestyle, but as I got further into the narrative, I realized that her saucy attitude was a front to cover the lonely woman that she really was. She felt used, abused and unloved, until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her as a person and not for what she could do for him. It must have taken great courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long, knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.

However, happiness didn’t last for long. When M. Duval, Armand's father, came to her, pleading for her to leave Armand to save both Armand's reputation and that of his younger innocent sister, Marguerite saw a way to

become pure of heart, if not in body. She felt that it was her duty, because she loved Armand so much, to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily. She reluctantly returned to her former life, knowing that some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly, she died in debt and basically alone, except for her one female friend, Julie Duprat, who helped her during her illness. She had her journal sent to Armand after her death, explaining why she had made the choices she had. I think Dumas's last few lines about Marguerite being the exception, not the rule were quite true, and I also agreed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned, we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless, while this may not always be the case. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact, which exists in the whole society.

As far as the other characters in the book, I think Marguerite was right in saying that no one truly cared about her, but only wanted something from her, the only exceptions being Armand and Julie Duprat. Of course, the Comte de G. and Comte de N. wanted her body and appearance. The Duke needed to

“wake up and smell the coffee” and realize that she could never replace his dead daughter. If he truly cared, he could have helped her leave her lifestyle without “keeping” her himself. And lastly, Prudence was a blood-sucking leech who used Marguerite almost worse than the men. I also think she was jealous of the fact that Marguerite had so much more courage than herself and someone truly loved her.

Last morning, when tiding my bookshelf, I took this book out of the shelf, and a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. I held it against the morning light and blew on it. The soft breeze carried it away. Camille is just like the camellia, she could never escape from the destiny of withering. But it wasn’t her fault; it’s because of the evil of Capitalism and the hideousness of that society. Suddenly, I remembered a saying: “Women are like the flowers”. Those pretty women are like those beautiful flowers; their delicate beauty makes people feel they are the miracle of life. However, even the God envies their beauty. It seems that beautiful women always have tragic endings. As we are normal persons, even we can see the hideousness of humanity that results in their fate of withering, we can at most ask quietly in our hearts: Where have those beautiful flowers gone? Where have they gone?

My comment on Camille

I have read 《Camille》 this year. My father told me that when he was young he finished it only one night. So I couldn’t wait to read the story after graduation. At that time I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexander Dumas, is a story about a girl whose name is Marguerite Gautier, a young courtesan, in Paris in the mid 1800's.The main plot is about how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval, and how she tries to escape from her questionable past. But what is unfortunate is that her past life comes back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone. But she still believed that she was a noble woman at heart., I did not care for her attitude to life when I first began to read the book, but as I got further into the narrative, I realized that her saucy attitude was just a front to cover the real loneness. She felt ashamed, abused. She was sad for nobody loves her until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life. Armand was the first man who gives her true love .Now I can see that it must have taken great courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for long. She just feels it was too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. But Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.

However, happiness didn’t last for long. When M. Duval, Armand's father came to her, forcing her to leave Armand to save both Armand's reputation his younger innocent sister, Marguerite saw a way to become pure of heart. She loves Armand so much, so she thinks to do this, even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily, is her duty. She unwillingly returned to her former life and she believed that some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly, she died in debt and almost alone, except for her one female friend, Julie Durant, who helped her during her illness. She sent her journal to Armand after her death, explaining why she had made the choices. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances.

Here’s a saying says “Women are like the flowers”. Meeting a pretty flower is hard, we boys should try to understand the truth .I hope every flower could have a beautiful life and every boy knows how treasure the delicate wealth of the life.

篇三：茶花女英文读后感

La dame aux CaméliasW

Recently , I read the famous book written by French writer Alexandre Dumas,fils, which is called La dame aux Camélias .It is French name of it and you also can call it The Lady of the Camellias.And I got a lot from it and I want to share my feeling about it.

The whole story is about Marguerite,who is a kept woman in Paris in the mid of 1800s . After meeting Armand Duval ,Marguerite fell in love with the young man and even tried to flee from her questionable past ,so they left Paris and led a peaceful life.But the father of Armand thought it was a insult to let his son marry with the kept woman,so he went to Marguerite and pleaded with her for the reputation of Armand and his little daughter . At that time Marguerite also realized it was the right way to love her lover, so she went back to Paris, the past life ,and at last because of the illness ,she died in heavy debts and the regret that she did not meet her lover.

Yeah , that is whole story .After that ,Armand knew the fact why Marguerite left him and he told Dumas the story. Dumas repeated emphasizing it was a true story, but as for me it just makes no difference and I really love that story .

So, at first ,I want to talk about the main role ---Marguerite.

After reading the book, you can definitely feel the preference of the author, for example “It will seem absurd to many people ,but I have an unbounded sympathy for women of this kind and I do not think it necessary to apologize for such sympathy.”And another doubtless thing is her beauty beyond words. That was also the reason she was so popular at that time. What moved me most is that her attitude toward the loved and the hated. When Comte asked her to be her lover, though she knew she could get a lot from him ,she refused. When she fell in love with Armand ,she tried her best .

The second role impressed me should be Armand. I think he should take the responsibility of the tragic ending of Marguerite. While meeting Marguerite ,he fell in love with the beauty of her. After living with her ,he did not get a real job but lived with her money---what he thought was dirty, and he even went to gamble. And when Marguerite wrote him a letter and returned to Paris ,he chose to trust his father’s words, and thought she left because she minded his poverty, and did not tried to figure out the reasons . To some degree, in that love affair, he was not just that serious, and even without the interference of his father or her illness, he would leave her after he got tired of her .He was too young to understand what love was and how to

make love work well. He thought staying with her was loving her, so he lost her.

Actually, that story remind me of a Chinese story named Du Shi niang. But Marguerite was luckier than Shi niang ,at least Armand truly loved her. But to Shi niang ,she was sold by her lover, and after knowing what her lover did ,she jumped into river and was drowned.

And this story can be regarded as Dumas’ story. The story soon became a hit and it later was adopted as a script, and the play and movie which were based on the story also won big fame.

And in that story we can find out that love was heavily affected by money , our love affairs especially marriage are largely depended on how much money you have. For example, when two people begins a relationship, they will at the first place think about his or her possessions. It is so sad and shameful to know that even a kept woman know to treasure her love. So I hope that all young people can follow their heart and find the half that they truly love rather than find the rich people that they do not love deep down.
