Her frowning, or rather, his remorse over such recklessness, was the first setback suffered by Julien’s fantasies. He thought, “She is kind and gentle, and she has a strong interest in me, but she was raised in the enemy camp.” They should be particularly afraid of this class of brave people who are well-educated but lack the money to pursue their ambitions. What would these nobles become if we were to fight them with equal weapons? Take me for example: if I were to become the mayor of Verrières, I would act with good intentions, with the integrity shown by Mr. de Lena, and see to it that Father Copie, Mr. Valeno, and all their deceptive practices are eliminated! Let justice triumph in Verrier! Their talent is not an obstacle to me. They keep blundering around. ”
In 1830, the French writer Stendhal wrote “The Red and the Black”.
\"Red and Black\", by the French writer Stendhal. The story of this novel is said to be based on a death penalty case reported in the \"Court News\" on February 29, 1828. Stendhal began writing the novel \"Red and Black\" in 1829; it was published in 1830 and came out in print in 1831.
\"Red and Black\" is the masterpiece of the famous French writer Stendhal. It is said that the story of the novel \"Red and Black\" is based on a death penalty case published in the \"Court News\" on February 29, 1828. During the Napoleonic Empire, red and black represented the \"army\" and the \"church\", representing the two paths through which ambitious French youths could develop (some say it was the red and black on a roulette wheel).
The novel \"Red and Black\" focuses on the protagonist Julien’s struggles and ultimate failure, with particular attention paid to his two love affairs. It portrays in detail the social climate that prevailed over the French people during those 30 years at the beginning of the 19th century under successive ** regimes, and it harshly criticizes the reactionarity of the nobility during the Restoration period, the darkness of the Church, as well as the greed and vulgarity of the new bourgeois elite. Therefore, although the novel takes Julien’s love life as its main theme, it is after all not a love novel, but rather a \"political novel\".
