The feeling after reading The Red and the Black Just as Napoleon said, “Every French soldier carries a marshal’s baton in his knapsack”, Julien had an ambition in his heart. He was born in a peasant family, but he believed that he didn’t belong here. His background made him feel ashamed, and he decided never to give in to the fate. He always thought that he should be proud and he always behaved so. Actually, this is the symbol of his inferiority. The more inferior he felt, the more proudly he behaved, and he just wanted to hide his inferiority complex for his background. With these thoughts, he always wanted to conquer himself to get stronger, so he always imagined lots of battles and enemies. The love with Mrs. de Renal was one of his battles. The poor Mrs. de Renal was just a sacrifice. Having been loved with Mrs. de Renal just for a few months, Julien forgot her completely and decided to marry Mathillde. Even such a proud woman as Mathilde fell to Julien’s feet. But both Mrs. de Renal and Mathilde were too innocent, even ignorant, and they were both hurt deeply for the breaking of love. Maybe you can never judge a person only by his appearance, and remember never to give your priceless love to a person who has nothing but a handsome face. Although Julien had too many sins, he deserved our sympathy, after a, he was punished and was sentenced to death. What a tragedy he was! He was always hostile to nobles and always pursued a higher social position. Didn’t he feel tired? He strived to go higher step by step, but finally he lost everything including his precious life. Everyone has his own ambition within his heart, but not everyone can achieve his goal. What decides whether you can succeed or not is not only how much you have paid, but also the way you have chosen. You can only succeed in a correct way. Julien selected an extremely wrong way to realize his goal, so he got serious punishment finally. Just remember that after burying the seed of dream in your heart, please water it with good instead of evil. 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/1cbd410658eef8c75fbfc77da26925c52cc591a8.html
