The Beginning of Foreign ClassicsA long time ago, there was a fan of online literature named Charlotte Bronte who had answered many questions about foreign classics based on the knowledge she had learned. For example, she had once answered what the beginning of Pride and Predict was.
Pride and Predict begins with:
All too often in this modern world of ours the great and the good the rich and the poor the high and the low we find that the people who are best equipped to handle such situations are those who are simply good enough or who have enough money or connections to make the difference
Foreign classics are better than Chinese classicsThis question involved literary style, narrative methods, characters, and many other aspects. There was no simple answer. Both foreign masterpieces and Chinese masterpieces have their own unique charms. They have made unique contributions in different eras and cultural backgrounds.
In terms of literary style, foreign masterpieces often adopted different schools such as romanticism, realism, symbolism, etc. They had distinct personalities and characteristics. On the other hand, Chinese classics were more influenced by Chinese classical literature, such as Dream of the Red Chamber, Water Margins, and other classic works with profound cultural heritage and unique aesthetic value.
In terms of narrative style, foreign masterpieces often use a non-linear narrative structure to make readers have complex associations and imaginations in reading. On the other hand, the Chinese classics adopted a more linear narrative structure, with the plot and the development of the characters as the main line, so that the readers could more directly feel the changes and progress of the story.
In terms of character images, the characters in foreign masterpieces often have distinct personality characteristics and profound psychological descriptions, so that readers can understand and feel their emotions and fate more deeply. However, the characters in the Chinese masterpieces paid more attention to the traditional morality and values, and it was difficult to produce a strong emotional resonance.
Therefore, he could not simply answer which was better, a foreign masterpiece or a Chinese masterpiece. Every book has its own unique value and charm. The readers can choose the books that suit their interests and preferences.
