该怎么评价Charles呢?
前半段被他一袭话打动了。
" I want to look back and say that I was alive.
That I didn't turn my back.
That I tried.
That I was happy."
然而随着故事推进,越来越看不清他是什么样的人了。和Sebastian暧昧不清,不停勾搭Julie,伤了两个人把罪怪在宗教上,发达后再遇Julie迅速抛弃妻子,鼓动Julie回Brideshead,也许他潜意识里一直想着征服Brideshead。
Anthony说的很对。
他不是待宰的羔羊,他是狩猎的捕手。
"There is really no end to your hunger."
Charles是时代变革间隙涌出的新兴阶层,贪婪,财富、地位、爱情、亲情、友情……什么都想要。蔑视传统宗教,源于内心对传统贵族的不满。最后还是在Marchman先生的死亡中开始醒悟,选择放手。
战争中,他又回到了Brideshead。他思索,
“Did I want too much?
Did my own hunger blind me to the ties that bound them to their faith?"
原来,Charles只是个被hunger捉弄的普通人。
谁不是呢?
