The mouth of honey, the heart will be the sword - "King Lear" Book "King Lear" was written in about 1605, based on an old British folk legend widely known, is one of Shakespeare's four major tragedies. The story is old昏聩, opinionated, look no knowledge of King Lear to land to the eldest daughter of hypocrisy Lu Gan, second daughter贡纳莉, but honest and straightforward kind of girl will not please the father pediatric first-li Xia deported to foreign countries. Article Lixia Branch was forced to run away from home and love her to the French King of France. King Lear himself to retain only the king's chamberlain 100尊号and ready to take turns living in the home of two daughters age. Two daughters谁料purpose原形毕露later, the father from the home, King Lear who suffered back and forth. That the youngest daughter of King Lear's tragic experience, two sisters raised an army crusade, unfortunately failed, and finally captured含恨自刎, King Lear is mad grief of the dead. Of course, the fate of the two daughters is bad sad. King Lear this foolish old King false, because the heart of their own vanity, his victims more innocent victims of that kind of girl Lixia pediatric section, it seems to us that he had been so deserve the consequences, is reaping what it has sown, so added back to the old age should be subjected to such treatment, said most of his life bitter fruit, and even worse is one of the most kind-hearted daughter also died in front of their own. But we have never thought he was a normal person, is the ordinary people like us, if he did not listen to young people's advice when the words and the truth, how can the throne on their own to do now, but also how can the management of their own country was the case? However, due to his usual high-ranking, long-term一呼百诺live in the palace, and surrounded by ingratiating themselves with each other to claim the credit of the people, all人或事turning him around to his likes and dislikes to likes and dislikes, to his right and wrong for right and wrong. Deep long years, he is like a drug addicts addicted, flatter and ingratiate himself in his life has become an indispensable necessity, can not be singing the praises of every moment. When he lost the throne, power, going through all kinds of hardships, but the restoration of human nature and therefore, the lament of his death he was not obsessed with the momentum of the Sun Joseph, the emperor's authority, but to his expulsion had been cursed by his出宫small daughter, but he can not return her sleep in her heart was filled with enthusiastic and caring, and precisely because of these experiences, he learned the most valuable is not money, power and influence to buy the true feelings. However, when the two daughters are sweet words to his pledges, he happily哄得time, but my daughter did not pediatric section Lixia like fawning flattery to him, not afraid to contradict him, So greatly his Hing, angry to youngest daughter out of their own country. Lixia小女pediatric first good-natured and innocent filial piety, and at the same time insisting she is impulsive, if only to know their own kind, what is the use of filial piety, with the understanding that his two sisters, is what's also why we can not at this a position to win in order to for their own father paved a way for it? To maintain their dignity and style is right, but people sometimes need to explain in words to others note, sometimes the role of words than action is much greater. She is also happy, because their own has been nothing but a sincere love her Langjun, this is not her two sisters can not have, she has been living in love and being loved. But at the same time she is impulsive, as were two sisters, father of the rapacious treatment of the crusade against them to send troops to the final failure of the insult and died in prison, this is not the impulse to do her? Heart can not bear their own good, it should also make sure the time you have a grasp of things, but she is not ready in its own perfect time to send troops to venture there again unbeaten truth. King Lear's eldest daughter and second daughter, Lu Gan贡纳莉, not to mention a vicious, infidelity, unfilial, infidelity, ignorance of women, in order to drive the interests of their own elderly father, to his mind like Ronin and destruction of their homes, but also each other people's lives, until death do not know them like the same man is a vicious man, and he was just continuing to use them only, perhaps because they are the owners of land are and treatment of dependence, neglecting their husbands, and even scolded her husband is a coward, the two men poor, because the right to ruin the happiness of his life. They simply do not have a wife, much like a woman may be dead until they do not understand things a human! The worst here, seeking the most advanced use of it should be said that the illegitimate child爱特Gross doors off, and to property, in order to better their own status is also a half brother of persecution, but also has been doing a great disservice to him when spoil the child for the father, which for him were not enough, even with their looks and sweet words to哄得all round, and ultimately there are two women because of his false and died in the hands of their own, and to his own Finally, nothing, but also put an end to its own. Villainous abominable that can be like him with a mask of the hypocrite villainous abominable更是比shown too much. In fact, again, his hypocrisy is not caused by personal reasons, nor is he initially wanted, it is the surrounding environment he created has become such a person, precisely because he is an illegitimate child, so the surrounding He has the talent on a variety of names and treat impolite, he and Gross are both埃特加son off, but they are very different from the treatment, which resulted in him on the hypocrisy of a very heavy impact on and heart trauma, which it is his fault? Not entirely, the only other people and social injustice have nothing against him. Gross off and hit and there are similarities between King Lear, he is as a credulous爱特door, then met the informant and爱特door lost their eyes, even though he lost his eyes, but he recovered his son of filial loyalty埃特加; Although he lost his eyes, but he was seen with two眼亮hearts, and not other people's appearance and then easily miss the others. The moral of the story the most faithful, loyal people who are willing to be off the veteran, and his own mantra have been exiled King Lear, but he did not faint of King Lear and hatred careless, but not to leave The poor old king, he knew that King Lear was a good monarch, but too easy to be fooled by sweet words only, so the trouble to accompany him to his side, King Lear in the most difficult war displaced suffer when they are not left his step, even for the former and around the old King, good for him to help Lixia Branch section. It should be said that Ken is a smart and flexible from the people, he knows how to change their own, and finally saved the King's acquaintance with the little girl is thanks to him. Although the story is the oldest in the world in the distant, but in real life we have far too many such examples. We all like to sweet talk the people, like praise words, in the end it is they do not harm us why! This is not exactly the conspirators to those who condemned口蜜腹剑it? In real life phenomena and the nature of appearance and often have very different, we can not lose the appearance of the phenomenon and the reason be the next King Lear, "Kim is not all光灿灿gold!" And the hearts of every one of us has a good and evil, false and true concepts and standards, no one can be born to judge them, in real life is cruel, we can not, as the story of the book as a good outcome, We are all to go through these in order to really identify their good or bad, and we can not because their hearts desire and an inability to discern the reason, it is necessary to curb that sweet hi-loving, if not tasted the bitter taste of how can know the sweet taste of it?
