Normal People读后感第一篇

感谢小红书上的一位朋友给我推荐了这本书,而且还送了我纸质书。但是我翻看了一下,觉得需要认真读一读,于是为了记笔记方便,还是读了电子书。

如果五星满分,本书

Normal People读后感第二篇

趁着这周车子坏了在维修, 有了早上坐公交车看书的时间。 Emmmm, 剧情就是目前13-15岁的青少年可以看的校园偶像剧吧, 作者九零后。 比较积极的意义在于: 坦白地说,是个很不错的学英语地道日常交流的材料。 简单通俗易懂, 在kinokunyia买书的时候它被放在了推荐畅销书目的地方,买是因为不厚,看了第一页觉得不会看不下去,事实上的确没有。但是目前很纳闷它是如何称为畅销书的,可能会回看是不是自己误解了它。

Normal People读后感第三篇

发现了关于玛丽安和康奈尔关系的三个节点:第一次玛丽安和康奈尔两人因为误会而分手,一个以为康奈尔要回家meet someone,一个不好意思开口留下,仅仅因为误会break up。另外两个节点都与之相似,但是发生了不同的变化,第二次玛丽安一开始顾左而言他,最后挑明自己有点伤心,因为康奈尔没有邀请她出去,而实际上康奈尔邀请了只不过玛丽安没有听到,两人合理的解开误会。最后一次发生在本书的最后,康奈尔收到了来着纽约的offer,但是申请的时候并没有告诉玛丽安,玛丽安觉得他可能爱上了Sadie,没有犹豫或者是言明别的一些什么,而是直接挑出,这是玛丽安的变化,她敢于说出自己的需求和疑问。

只不过小说的结尾,Connell似乎是有了可以追寻的未来,但是对于玛丽安的人生我还是需要打上一个问号。一个无法想象给别人打工的玛丽安,只是给别人当助理,玛丽安的专业似乎和这个并不挂钩,那她的理想和愿望呢?她看上去在物质上拥有很多,在精神层面也超越普通人,可她却恰恰有一种来自内心的空虚,她说以前过的生活是unworthy的,或许当她过上全新的生活,会有新的价值找到她。另外,Connell这样的男生,现实生活真的是少之又少少之又少。

Normal People读后感第四篇

很久没有见过这么会讲故事的作者了。高中那段很动人,那些来自身边人的受之有愧的善意,出于无知做出的伤害,以及活在同龄人目光中的小心翼翼,和我经历过的小时候多么像,但更美好一点。她那细致入微又一字不多的叙事啊!无法自拔。自己身边每刻发生的事情那么多,我怎么就不能如此细腻地去体验。

写到了大学,不知不觉就玛丽苏了……两个主角天生一对关心文学和政治,其他同学都是愚蠢肤浅的富二代。大概每一个有些自卑的人都倾向于暗暗自封智力精英来补偿一些优越感吧。且不说聪明不俗是否就高人一等,单论用喜不喜欢文学和政治来划分智商和品味,价值观未免失之单一。

好在这本小说从不在一个主题上停留很久,玛丽苏一下下也就过去了。作者的文字太有效率,不厚的一本,用不多的几个人物,触及的主题非常丰富,我常常要读十分钟发呆二十分钟。作者应该对人有过很多思考,偏偏又有好技巧把它们塞进故事里来。

作者对心理咨询的理解大概是凭空想象出来的,小说里那个心理咨询师看起来是连最基本的行业常识都没有,比我在中国和英国见到的心理咨询师都差太多。

要不要做“普通人”呢,关于这个问题,Marianne和Connell天生不同,把自己的态度不知不觉教给了对方,却越来越怀疑自己。还没读完,很期待答案。

在小说的广告铺满地铁之前,在书店遇到了作者签售,于是才有了之后的好奇买书。毕竟是名声大噪的同龄人,我坐在角落里的椅子上看了两分钟。读者排队跟她聊天请她签字,她非常热情,言语流畅声音洪亮的一个姑娘。

Normal People读后感第五篇

没想到不到一年,他不惜牺牲两人感情而做出的行为,其实毫无意义,他大可以与她手牵手在学校的走廊轻轻飘过,因为他们的事,其实大家都知道了,而且没人在意,大概也只有他自己在意吧。

多年以后,当他在某著名的大学里,孤独的学习时,他才意识到十几岁的自己是如何的愚蠢。普通朋友其实不是普通朋友,他们是“恋人”,有时候他会觉得玛丽安是天赐给他的,但是这都是过去时了。

后来他又有几几个女朋友,但都不能长久,但这些女朋友发现他对玛丽安的感觉之后,通常是争吵,之后便是离开,他似乎得了某种抑郁症,他经常要判断一下,他是不是有自杀倾向,当然他还一直是那么努力,他曾是全学校最聪明,最努力的学生,他经常第一名,他获得奖学金进入爱尔兰的三一学院学习,他一直足够优秀。

而在中学的时候, 玛丽安的生活是安静的,孤独的,不说话的,她没有什么朋友,午饭时间经常一个人在读小说,她的父亲在她十三岁的时候去世了,之后就经常有人说她得了某种精神疾病什么的,她住在一个大宅子里面,这也许是其它同学恨她的另一个原因,她住在一个大宒里面,家里固定请清洁女工收拾,所以她经常见到女工的儿子康奈儿,但是虽然她们经常在她家里见面,但是在学校里,他们却一直假装不认识,从不说话,也不进行眼神交流。她在学校被认为是一个讨厌的人。流传的关于她的故事都不是那么友好。

康奈儿是三好学生,学习好,长得很帅,很受女生欢迎,男生同样也很喜欢他。甚至尼斯老师都对他表现了明显的好感,很多时候让人感觉老师跟他说话的时候是在调情。但是康奈儿否认了这一点。

康奈儿独自在与玛丽安在一起的时候,感觉很不自在,但又希望自己能用什么来打动她。

时间一长,他们互相都有了好感,但是他们虽然私下联系较多,但是学校还是不说活,不互相看对方,即使在他们已经有了亲密关系之后。

Normal People读后感第六篇

读完这本书,我十分佩服读者把故事写得如此真实。

书中的人物性格极具代表性。有钱无爱的家庭中长大的女主角Marianne,爱无能,缺乏安全感,在亲密关系中有“被虐”、“被征服”的倾向; 而出身于工人阶级单身家庭的男主角Connel 倒不缺爱。他因贫穷而自卑,总觉得自己不够聪明,在意旁人看法,难以融入交际圈子,以至于更倾向于关注别人的感受,牺牲一定自我。 缺钱或缺爱,都使人缺乏勇气去确认彼此的感情,所以友谊爱情傻傻琢磨不清楚,耽误了好几年的时光。

他们都误以为对方会抛弃自己。Connel 担心自己配不上Marianne,所以他退居其要位置,甘愿与她保持朋友关系,也不想朋友都做不成;Marianne又总是偏执地认为Connel 不喜欢她、想要离开她。她常觉得是自己做错了什么,才使他与她刻意保持着距离。

他们经历了普通人青少年到青年时期会遇到的种种困难: 阶层冲突、人际矛盾、异地爱情、好友自杀、原生家庭痛苦······也接触了少数群体——心理医生、性变态摄影师、家暴亲人······成长之艰难曲折,让人紧张。两人分分合合,即便到了结尾,也没能确定能否真正在一起。这就是青春吧,两人互动、成长间隙充斥了那么多的未知和已知变量,因此交集过后,线条总好像要趋向平行。没有什么是确定的,没有什么是稳定的。他们能珍惜的只有此时此刻,以及互相取暖的记忆。

两位人物让我感受到:其实中西方的青年面临的问题并无很大的差异,毕竟大家都是普通人。

书中的细节描写的很生动。比如主人公们紧张时候的生理反应——汗水、颤抖、眩晕;又比如对白里主人公们来回抛掷疑问,终于坦白出的隐情;

书本前面的文笔很简短,接近尾声句子变长且复杂。

只是我对这本书有一点遗憾:作者笔下的主人公从来不为学业烦恼,他们都是学霸。这就很不normal people了啊哈哈哈哈。

期待它能够拍成爱情电影,拍的比 ONE DAY (《一年恋一天》好) :D

Normal People读后感第七篇

我看了很久才把这本书看完。语言没什么值得挑剔的,偶尔也现金句,能引起共鸣。前几章非常精彩,我差点儿就以为这是一个精彩的,充满戏剧性的,峰回路转的小甜文了。比如One Day或者Love,Rosie之类的。结果,真是大失所望。

女主不算美,勉强算“强”和“惨”。小时候遭遇父亲虐待,于是形成了比较特别的“喜好”,作为一个masochist和殷实的家庭背景,一直和男主拉扯,分分合合直至剧终。故事开始挺有意思,女主是个孤僻的学霸,在高中特立独行,被“校草”男主青睐,两人一度确认关系,开始小心的地下恋情。直到高中毕业晚会,男主莫名其妙的邀请了一直暗恋他的另一位女生作为舞会的舞伴,彻底惹怒了女主,女主愤然休学,两人关系戛然而止。到了大学之后,两人关系更加暧昧和错综复杂,我是没看明白作者究竟想讲一个怎么样的故事。没有高潮迭起,没有意义,没有目标,带着读者们领略女主走马灯似的换男友,然后还是觉得男主是最好的。我并没有兴趣去读一个高中或者大学女生的日记或者心路历程。

再说值得同情但依旧令人费解的男主。他和女主结识是因为他的母亲在女主家里做钟点工。眼看着就要上演“公主和落魄少年”的剧情了,结果这位敏感纠结的少年,次次临阵脱逃,不欢而散。他为了跟女主在一起,报告了她的大学,结果上了学也不去追求女主,不但自己一直谈恋爱,还扮演了女主“闺蜜”的角色。不知道这两个人纠结为何不确定关系,宁愿做真爱的炮友也不愿意好好的谈一场恋爱。后来女主去另一座城市做交换生,他还跑去那里旅游,和女主各种纠结。我看着都快要昏昏欲睡了。心想,这两人究竟有完没完。这么不干脆的剧情,就像在看重复倒带。

直到故事最后,所谓的小“高潮”,也并未彻底改变两人的状况。看似两人因此确定了关系,转眼幼稚敏感的女子因为男子报考美国学校没告诉她,就怀疑他移情别恋。到尾声,就让男主去追求梦想,嗯,也算是放男主一条生路吧。

男主总体看来是一个正常的人类,长得好看,成绩不错,有能力发表小说,愿意努力成为作家,并且有一个糟糕的家庭背景,基本符合“美强惨”的典型男主设定。他自己有点儿优柔寡断,长情且极富同理心,遇到女主让他的症状彻底爆发,两个黏黏糊糊的人,更加拉扯不清。不知道这个故事是怎么能够编成电视剧的。多么清淡的剧情啊。

可能我一直期待的故事就是各种转折加上高潮吧,这个“小清新”的故事并没办法打动我。只让我一心的感叹,终于,女主和作者放了男主一条生路啊。

Normal People读后感第八篇

看完正常人以后,适合单曲循环霉霉的illicit affairs。

看完这本书,我应该就读完鲁尼的所有作品了。包括两个短篇Mr. Salary和Color and Light.

回过头重新打分的话,我会推荐还没看过鲁尼作品的人先看Normal People(虽然这是我读的最后一部鲁尼作品,诶,就是喜欢拧着来)。然后可以看看短篇Mr. Salary。接着看Conversations with Friends. 剩下的,如果特别喜欢鲁尼就看,感觉一般就可以不看了。

我的第一本鲁尼是Conversations with Friends, 看完后并没有特别喜欢,好像打了3星?但现在回过头,星星数量可能也不会变,但是Conversations里的激进程度和私活含量,我反而更加推崇。Normal People呢,写的更成熟稳重一些,也更聚拢一些,所以打了四星。

Normal People肯定是会获得更多读者的,很多人都能在Connell和Marianne找到自己的影子。如果你是小镇出生,通过读书来到大城市的,就会共情Connell“回不去的故乡,留不下的都市”的漂泊感;如果你因为特立独行,不迎合群众被边缘化,就会共情被霸凌的Marianne;如果你原生家庭“不正常”,缺乏安全感,就会共情感情中无法归属的Marianne;如果你因为阶级差异产生自卑感,就会共情Connell......因为鲁尼通过Connell和Marianne写了很多年轻人的苦恼和困境,所以会受到很多人喜欢。

霉霉在illicit affairs里唱:

“make sure nobody sees you leave”, Marianne就是这样和Connel展开了一段畸形的关系,两人私下心意相通,Marianne却理解Connell希望做正常人的想法,和他秘密交往,在学校扮不熟,结果却是Connell加入到霸凌Marianne的团体,狠狠伤害了Marianne;

“take the road less traveled by”, Connell和Marianne是有共同语言的,所以听从了Marianne的建议,离开了熟悉的圈子和世俗的成功,选择了来大城市都柏林学习真正喜欢的英语;

“tell yourself you can always stop”, 来到大学以后,Connell没有了同侪压力,却感知到了阶级差异,仍然无法和Marianne建立正常的恋人关系,Marianne因为心理创伤,随时都做好了准备Connell会再次抛弃他,后来也确实因为误会,两人再次分开;

“you showed me colors you know I can’t see with anyone else”, “you taught me a secret language I can’t speak with anyone else”, Connell和Marianne在灵魂上实际上是非常契合的,但现实中,却有社会、心理等等隔阂。

“for you I would ruin myself a million little times”,Marianne虽然一次次被Connell有意无意的伤害,却只要Connell示好,就立马原谅,重投怀抱,受虐型人格完全形成。

Normal People读后感第九篇

Connell得到纽约工作申请Marianne鼓励他去,互相已经让对方成为一个更好的人。M想他可能不会回来,也可能会回来,他们现在彼此所拥有的一切也不会才回来了“what they have now they can never have back again 。”但这对她造成的孤独伤痛相比,她过去常常所习惯的痛并没有大不了,也没有价值。“but for her the pain of loneliness will be nothing to the pain that she used feel,of being unworthy ……they’ve done a lot of good for each other.Really, she thinks, really.People can really change one another ”看到这里kindle 显示97%,突然就戛然而止了,后面是鸣谢,按照故事的节奏的好像可以继续写下去。男女主互相救赎彼此。这本小说我看完都觉得情节一般,除了某些片段的活动场景的描写特别不错。男女主的爱情关系真是,明明那么相爱却又很冷漠疏离,看起来有点怪。

不喜欢这种人物边缘关系的小说,没有亲情女主冷漠刻薄的家人,以及朋友关系也没有多少温暖背后指指点点。导致女主因为太受周围这些人伤害,被说有精神问题孤僻,她竟然会觉得自己不值得被爱自己是会让别人悲惨。WTF看不懂逻辑女主也没做错什么,是你周围的人有so mean吧

后来看到sally描写的时候,发现她习惯把人物对话穿插在场景中描写,譬如最后两个人的对话,她在边擦干头发,这一点有点像看过朝井辽的《何者》,有的日本小说的风格。

现在躺在去深圳的卧铺上打下这些字,这本书前后只花的4天看完,并且还不是很喜欢的那种小说,也是谜,也许是某种魔力吧。

11.14

今天意外的把这本书《normal people 》看了一半。sally Ronny 的conversation with friends 之前我没看多少,主要是我觉得关系一言难尽。这本秉承她的风格吧,譬如[允悲]人物对话不打引号。不同于一般言情小说的写作方式,还有推动故事情节的逻辑个人觉得有点弱。中学的时候,女主是那种孤僻被人指点嘲笑欺负有精神病那种,男主和她在一起以及发生关系都偷偷摸,叫女主不要公开他们的关系,怕同学知道后连自己也被嘲笑。男主的母亲在女主家帮佣,女主家庭条件不错,可能由于家暴书中只说了一句。后来到了大学两个人一个反转,女主突然受欢迎(情节太跳跃了),男主反倒格格不入因为他的家境之类,男女主又保持开放有性的“朋友关系”感觉好看的点不在于情节haunted 而是描写表达的方式语言的精妙

11.15

今天看到80%“”无缘无故”人物太致郁了,发展转的有点快,男主因为一个不太熟的朋友自杀又和女友分手(不是女主)搞得很丧有抑郁倾向,因为几件事哭了几次,你说你一个大男人,描写女主都没哭几次,女主因为家人的缺爱和指责,觉得自己是苦逼的人不值得被人爱,还被分手男友(不是男主)以及朋友背后说心理有问题。男主因为自己家境觉得融不进。男女主都是那种交际边缘被人群所排斥难以合群的那类人,即努力的想做一个“normal people ”的不正常的人。叫我说真的有点无病呻吟矫情,没啦~男主也是真的作,尤其几次分手,第一次觉得爱情小说的男的可以这么作的哦。男女主真的相爱吗???老天啊,为什么双方视角描写对彼此会有很心动,以及互相受伤害后互相取暖的照顾,什么“best friends ”sally 的描写也偏向冷静自制不像少女心的言情小说那种强烈的感情pouring ,她喜欢把副词放句首,句子很长,用否定反意表达肯定的含义,绕来绕去就是简单一句话的表达,可能作家都是为了显示语言文字功力的强大吧

Normal People读后感第十篇

不是正经书评,顶多算是各种乱七八糟的感想吧。

我是很喜欢Conversations with Friends的,因此读Normal People之前对这本书有很高的期望,事实证明希望越大失望越大,前三分之二很大程度上都是强撑过去的(好在最后三分之一还是不失水准),尤其是Marianne和Connell从高中到大学第一年的种种,简直就像在看YA小说或是美式校园爆米花电影,实在太cliché。读Conversations的时候让我非常惊喜的一点在于Rooney笔下的情节走向总是出人意料,但很可惜在Normal People这里多数情节都有些太predicable太套路化了。

在读这本书的过程中我经常想到尤金尼德斯的《婚变》,Marianne让我想起Madeleine(最先是因为名字相像才联系起来的),而Connell则有点像是Mitchell和Leonard的结合体,不过也可能是我自己先入为主的偏见作祟,一点联想,不一定准确。

另一点我要吐槽的是,正文中出现的关键词次数实在太多了。很显然Normal People围绕normal这个词展开,可是我也不需要每隔几页就被提醒一下“这不normal”“这才normal”“那个看上去normal但其实不normal”“我终于normal了”好不啦。读Conversations with Friends的时候我也会对conversation这个词格外敏感,但它在小说中出现得并不那么频繁,每次出现的时候也确实比较恰如其分。但normal这个词我真快看吐了,每次读到它我就产生一阵心悸,就像念高中的时候做语文阅读题,脑海里时常浮现作者一边打字一边大声疾呼“我在点题!我在点题啊!!”的画面。Seriously, it's not normal.

小说存有时间跨度的章节设计比较特别,初看之下觉得惊喜,但读到中间的时候我感觉我个人还是不太适应,情节变得太过碎片化,每一章读着读着刚刚觉得来点感觉了就切到下一章了。我可以理解作者这么设计的用意,也确实如果每一段drama都事无巨细地描述出来小说会变得太过冗长、沉重、戏剧性,但我觉得Rooney文字的迷人之处在于它就像一块磁铁,很容易把人吸引到所描述的情境中去,一种浸入式的共情体验。相隔一段时间的retrospect可以更冷静更客观,同时还带有一种事已至此只能无奈甚至已经平和接受的苍凉感,但也因此牺牲掉了一部分代入感,反而有点轻飘飘地浮在空中。不过这一点主要关乎阅读期待,毕竟读Conversations的时候那种mind-blowing的阅读体验实在是在我脑海中挥之不去啊。

小说很多主题在上一本中其实已经讨论过了,金钱、阶级、家庭、情感关系中的dynamic,诸如此类,这一本未必讨论得更深入。Connell和Frances也太相像了,确实Rooney擅长描画这样的角色,敏感、内省、格格不入、爱好写作,但相比之下其他角色似乎缺少一点密度,Conversations由于是第一人称视角尚可接受,这一本则感觉差了一点,哪怕是Marianne的角色,在刻画上也总给我一种断层感。

另外Rooney真的很喜欢写好看的人聪明的人和有钱的人,虽然我也喜欢看这些人的故事,但是看多了未免有点伤感不是吗T T。

所幸的是小说最后20%又是熟悉的配方,Connell的抑郁感受,Marianne的自我拷问都很深入人心,读到最后也还是感动了一把:"He brought her goodness like a gift and now it belongs to her."有点像Never Let Me Go里面Miss Emily对Kathy说的那样:"We were able to give you something, something which even now no one will ever take from you."

Normal People读后感第十一篇

Reflections

When I was about halfway through this book, I jotted down three words on my iPad: normal, love, change. I then tried to formulate some questions around these three words. After finishing the book, I hope to answer these questions based on my understanding of the story, thereby reflecting my thoughts and opinions in my book report.

What’s the definition of “normal people”? Does it equate to the majority of society?

In both the world depicted in the book and the real world, most people unconsciously or consciously equate the definition of “normal person” with the majority in society.

In the world of the book, Marianne in high school is different from the majority. Coming from a wealthy family and having good grades, she clearly understands her own goals and desires, refusing to conform to the majority and thus being viewed as peculiar. This can be seen in scenes where Marianne changing her underwear in the bathroom becomes a source of ridicule, or when she is not invited to the school dance, and the idle gossip of her classmates and so on. However, in St. Trinity College, Marianne becomes the majority, while Connell, due to his background of family and difficulty adjusting to the new environment and socializing, becomes the abnormal minority. (Of course, I also believe there are some reasons related to Marianne, which I will analyze later on.) The change in environment alters the characteristics attributed to the majority, consequently defining what is considered normal or abnormal for an individual. This is absurd, but we must admit that it is a fact in real life.

In the real world, there are some individuals with six fingers who are considered to be outliers and are labeled as having a condition called "hexadactyly." But is this really the reason they are regarded as different? In fact, apart from the extra finger, their lives are no different from others. Their "abnormality" is likely only perceived because it deviates from the majority of people in the world. If one day, due to nuclear contamination, all of humanity mutated and grew an extra finger, it is possible that those who still had five fingers would be considered "abnormal."

In this conceptual framework, everyone is considered abnormal because each individual has unique experiences and thoughts. However, in order to obtain some form of social connection, I have to say that it becomes important to disguise oneself as a normal person. The challenge lies in not being swayed by the allure of being labeled as "normal" and instead, persevering in choosing the right path at the right time, which is difficult but crucial.

How does a family influence a person? How does society shape a person? And how does love empower someone to save themselves?

I believe that the influence of a family on an individual is like the relationship between soil and a seed, deeply embedded within their heart and character. Marianne 's family provided her with good financial conditions, allowing her to have clear goals since childhood and the courage to be a minority. However, due to her father's domestic violence towards her mother, Mariannetolerates her brother's bullying and has a great sense of insecurity in relationships. Connell 's family, although lacking in good financial conditions, instilled kindness and unwavering love in him, making him feel inferior in college and in his relationship with Marianne. However, his family also helped him discern right from wrong even when conforming to the majority, ultimately enabling him to become the person he wanted to be.

And society strives to make people become the same, to become the "majority," also known as "normal people ", as mentioned in the first question.

Love can help people accept and change everything. Connell would change his old habit of conforming and stand up when Marianne is bullied at the party. With Marianne n's support, he also chose to pursue his passion in English literature, eventually becoming a writer instead of a lawyer. Marianne, on the other hand, becomes brave and strong because of Connell's unwavering love, and she no longer tolerates her brother's bullying as she did in high school, choosing instead to fight back.

Moreover, I believe that the romantic relationship they had during high school changed both of them significantly. Cornell chose the English major that Marianne suggested, and in college, he would reject some meaningless social interactions, just like the high school Marianne. And Marianne, on the other hand, slowly learned how to integrate herself into groups and interact with the majority of people. However, no matter how much they change, they both have an intrinsic belief in each other and expose their truest selves, giving each other the courage to become who they truly are.

Love is a magical emotion that can make you realize that someone's support and affection are far more important than the approval of the majority in society. It can shield you from all distractions and help you see your true self or heal the wounds inflicted by your family.

At the beginning, I wrote that "the right to be a minority is the privilege of love" as my answer. However, after finishing reading the end of the book, my perspective completely changed. The ending of the book does not portray Marianne and Connell living happily ever after together, their story continues with Connell going to study in London while Marianne continues with her own life. Therefore, I believe that the right to be a minority is not something granted by love, but rather an innate quality. What love can do in this process is to give courage, the courage to choose to exercise this right. So, my current answer is "love can give people the courage to be a minority." This might be changed in the future, but at the moment, this is indeed what I think.

The story begins in February 2011, and then each chapter unfolds every few months. The time span between chapters varies from just a few days to several months, creating a dynamic narrative pace throughout the whole story. On one hand, this approach makes the story resemble a diary, with its precise timestamps. On the other hand, the third-person perspective allows readers to delve into the inner thoughts, feelings, and processes of all characters, magnifying them in the text and immersing readers in the book in a way that cannot be experienced through a television drama.

The TV series is well-made, capturing the minute details in the protagonists' eye contact and costume changes, closely aligning with the original work. However, one aspect that may not be fully conveyed in the TV series is the characters' immediate thoughts and reactions within certain situations. As the TV show focuses on depicting emotional changes from the perspective of the main characters, it inevitably sacrifices some explanatory details and inner thoughts. In contrast, the novel provides a multitude of small thoughts and detailed scene descriptions that I find incredibly genuine and moving.

Actually, my emotions about this book are complex. I prefer the kind of resolute and certain love in relationship rather than the trial and separation that happens between the characters. However, I came across a statement in someone else's review that struck me: "The advantage readers have over the characters in a love story is that we can always see what both of them are thinking from a God's view. But even when two people are very much in love and completely sure of each other, at the beginning, they sense the presence of a third party in the relationship: the unspoken, the ignored, or the unknown. (读者比书中恋爱的两个人幸福的一点是,我们始终能以上帝视角,知道他们彼此在想什么。而即使心心相印无比确定彼此的爱的两个人,在开始的时候,也是惴惴不安,全靠猜测的。)" I have to admit that Marion and Cornell did indeed grow and change through this mutual affirmation and struggle. So, I think this statement might widen my reading perspective and allow me to explore something different amidst the pull and push of such relationships.

(1) What is the relationship between sex and love in Western culture? What role does sex play in terms of plot and emotions in this book?

(2) Why is Eric's death such a huge blow to Cornell? What exactly are his emotions towards Eric?

(3) Why does Marianne enjoy some deviant sexual behaviors? But at the same time, she feels that she is not herself during those moments? Is it because of the influence of her father's domestic violence? Shouldn't she despise such behavior? Or perhaps this narrative intends to express the inherent human depravity?

(4) Why is the book cover depicting two people hugging and lying inside a can? In fact, whether it is Marianne or Cornell, even when they become outliers, I don't believe they are living in a vacuum of complete isolation like being trapped inside a can. Both of them clearly demonstrate plot elements indicating that they are influenced by the majority of people.
