For me, it's John Coffey from 'The Green Mile'. He was a gentle giant with a pure heart, but was wrongly convicted and executed. His death was full of injustice and the loss of such a good - natured soul was heart - wrenching.
One of the saddest deaths in fiction is Sirius Black's in the 'Harry Potter' series. He was like a father figure to Harry, and his sudden death at the hands of Bellatrix Lestrange was tragic. Harry had just started to have a real family connection with him, and then it was brutally ripped away.
This is a difficult question to answer, because sad novels vary from person to person, and different people may have different answers. But the following novels are considered very sad:
1 Alive-Yu Hua: This is a novel about life in the countryside of China. It tells the story of a man who is still alive after experiencing many hardships and pains.
2. The Snowy Kingdom-Kawabata Yasunari: This is a novel about the depths of Japan. It tells the story of a young man searching for his soul in loneliness and despair.
3 One Hundred Years of Solitude-Garcia Marquez: This is a magical realism novel that tells the family history of seven generations, covering all the characters from the founder of the family to the decline.
4 The Little Prince-Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: This is a novel about the little prince and his journey, depicting the adventures and growth of the little prince from his own planet.
These novels all depicted the pain and loneliness deep in the human heart, and they deeply revealed the complexity and contradiction of human nature.
The Book of Deut was the last book of the Five Books of Moses. It recorded three long speeches that Moses gave to the people of Israel before he died. It was set on the threshold of the promised land after the people of Israel wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. In the Book of Deuterogies, Moses re-announced God's law to the people of Israel and reminded them to obey God's commandments and laws before entering the land of Canaan. The purpose of the book was to exhort the second generation of Israel not to forget God's law before entering Canaan, so that they could become holy chosen people. The book emphasized the importance of loyalty to the covenant and warned people that breaking God's laws would bring disaster. The author of the book was Moses. Although some parts may have been added later, it was still considered a work of Moses 'time.
In the '1984' novel, there are several significant deaths. Winston's spirit can be considered as 'dead' in a sense after his torture in Room 101. His transformation from a rebellious thinker to a broken shell shows a kind of death of the self. Another example is the disappearance of various people who oppose the Party, which implies their deaths. These deaths are not just physical but also symbolic of the totalitarian regime's power to crush individuality and freedom.
