At least Colleen? The Thorn Birds written by Luo Cheng is described in this way. She wrote in the book: "There is a bird that sings only once in its life, and its song is more beautiful than that of all living things in the world. From the moment it left the nest, it was looking for the thorn tree and wouldn't stop until it reached its goal. Then, it plunged into the longest and sharpest thorns and let go of the sound among the wild branches. At the moment of dying, it transcended its own pain, and the song actually drowned the lark and the nightingale ... ".
Meggie, the protagonist in the book, is a tragic thorn bird. The unforgettable and tangled sadism between her and Father Ralph is the longest and sharpest thorn.
When nine-year-old Meggie came to Drogheda from New Zealand, he met Ralph for the first time. The girl with red hair caught his attention. Ralph's enthusiasm comforted a girl who brought fear and anxiety to a strange environment like her father. This pure and sacred love transcends her father's love for her and is deeply branded in Xiaomei Ji's heart.
As time goes on, the seeds of this attachment will sprout slowly and grow into towering trees one day. Eventually it turned into an uncontrollable emotional entanglement like ice and fire.
Father Ralph watched his favorite little Maggie grow up day by day until she became a Tingting girl. Her young and warm breath touched the priest's heart.
As a priest, you can't have human love, but he is not only a priest, but also a tall and handsome man fascinated by all young women in Gendereau Haida. He also attracted the young and ignorant Meggie.
Meggie is a brave girl. She publicly let Ralph know that her love for him has changed from initial attachment to deep love.
This kind of love is also what Ralph yearns for, but it also makes him "hide". As a priest, he struggled between yearning and hiding, so Meggie's pain also came into being.
This emotional entanglement between love and escape, escape and longing for love deeply torments them, such as suffering in ice and fire. This reminds me of the ten commandments of Cangyang Jiacuo: "First, it is best not to meet each other, so you can't fall in love." The same is tangled and disappointed!
This cold ordeal is doomed to have no good result, but Meggie, like a thorn bird, can't stop looking.
As a priest, Ralph can't have love and family. At the same time, he has greater ambition, that is, to become a bishop, archbishop and cardinal. Meggie's mother Fei once warned her: "Ralph is a priest, and his goal is to be a respected cardinal." He won't stop for you. You can only be his second choice, and it will not do you any good. "
Can be obsessed with Meggie spread his wings. Although she knew she couldn't get a complete and sweet result, she had already started flying and couldn't stop.
She has always loved him, but she has always complained about his love and indifference to her. Meggie began to feel resentful and angry about love, and she wanted to leave him.
Luke who looks like Ralph? O 'Neill appeared, and the ridiculous Meggie thought he couldn't marry Ralph. Finding a man like him to marry him can be considered as letting Ralph from the heart. Look, how ridiculous and pathetic!
She threw herself at Luke and accompanied him thousands of miles away. After thousands of miles apart, he began to regret not telling Ralph. He was afraid that he would not find himself. How sad this ambivalence is. She tried to torture Ralph by marrying someone else, but she was also torturing herself, putting herself in the misery of ice and fire.
When Ralph lost Meggie, he lost control and fell into pain. He knows that he loves her in his heart. This kind of love was blinded by his ambition before, but now it has ruthlessly crushed his ambition. Ambition and love also became the ice and fire that tortured him. There is both reluctance and pain. When he put these two feelings on the scale, Ralph felt more pain and suffering. He knows where the pain and suffering come from.
Although he rose step by step in the teaching profession and became the archbishop of Rome, he often said in his confession that he cheated God and broke his original oath. He now knows that his vows have become insignificant compared with his love for Meggie, and he let his vows fall at the foot of his love for Meggie.
Therefore, he ran to Meggie's side not far from Wan Li and spent a wonderful night with her on the beach. God was defeated by their love and was mercilessly thrown out by Ralph.
Meggie, who is full of contradictions, enjoys this kind of encounter love and is happy inside. She knew she couldn't have Ralph. Even though she knew that love would be fleeting like fireworks at the moment, she let her body get what she wanted from Ralph. She got the "perfection" of self-deception in her fantasy.
After this disillusionment, Meggie's heart began to become stronger and stronger, but she could say "no" to Luke. She knows that this man doesn't love her. All he cares about is money and men's desires. When desire comes, he will enjoy her body. When he released a man's desire for his body, he threw her aside and didn't even give her a penny.
Meggie gave up on him without any entanglements and guilt. After getting her "want" from Ralph, she can also give up on Ralph. Although she has always loved him, she also knows that Ralph will not give her a chance, and they can only suffer slowly in pain.
Meggie is miserable and lonely. This kind of pain and loneliness is eroding her heart step by step, pushing her step by step to the longest and sharpest thorn until she presses her chest on it. Her messy life, the entanglement of wanting to love but not loving, makes her heart like a bird with blood on it until she dies.
It was Father Ralph and her love for ice and fire that made her run fearlessly to the longest and sharpest thorn!
