Metaphor of Plague | daisy miller: Died of Rome Fever and Identity Anxiety.

[Introduction]

In 1978, susan sontag, who suffered from cancer, finished Metaphor of Disease. The skin-cutting experience and daily experience of the disease gave her an observation angle to examine and analyze the disease discourse in the literary tradition. Fifty years later, an infectious disease came unexpectedly in China, and the long and painful tug-of-war seemed to be an immersive tragicomedy being staged. Everyone had to be involved in it, and had to face up to complex social problems and taste the subtle life situation. This gives us an eagerness to re-examine the expression of plague in various literary works at different stages, and the personal experience from real life will also bring a different perspective to literary interpretation.

Daisy miller, Henry James/Happy, Zou Hailun/Translated, Zhejiang Literature and Art Publishing House, September 2011.

Daisy miller is perhaps the most popular and popular work of American writer Henry James. It was written in 1878, serialized in magazines at first, and published as a book in 1879.

Henry James was born in new york in 1843. Before he wrote daisy miller, he had repeatedly crossed the Atlantic and traveled in Europe for many years. Since childhood, Henry James has traveled in Europe with his parents, and stayed in hotels all over Europe in Switzerland, France and Italy. As described in daisy miller, "Except hotels, they are hotels". James’s father, eager for Europe, not only explored and appreciated Europe’s long-standing culture, but also out of a cultural impulse of the United States in the 19th century. As an educated American, it seems necessary to go to Europe and the old world to find American spiritual ancestors. What Americans really look like and what they should look like, it needs a different culture to be distinguished. It can be said that for upper-class Americans, Europe is a touchstone of identity, whether their identity is noble, whether their tastes are elegant, whether their behavior is decent, and whether their morality is pure. European standards are the yardstick for Americans to define themselves.

In the 1970s when daisy miller was written, with the end of the American Civil War and the great development of industry, railroad tycoon, mining tycoons, speculators and adventurers were born overnight. Although the affluent class in the United States still yearns for Europe tirelessly, the purpose of going to Europe has quietly changed. The trip to Europe is no longer just a spiritual journey to pursue noble culture, but more a way of enjoyment. More generally speaking, European travel has changed from a unique fashion of the upper class to a fashionable way of spending money by the new rich. For a time, American beauties wore eye-catching luxury clothes, lived in expensive high-end hotels, and entered the European upper-class social circle with amazing wealth and self-confidence. The upstarts not only hit Europeans, bringing them dramatic surprises and surprises, but also hit American groups living in Europe.

This is the background of the birth of daisy miller. As a representative of American upstarts, daisy miller, a beautiful girl, met all kinds of Americans when traveling in Europe. Her simplicity, openness and naturalness have been severely accused by American compatriots, and Winterbourne, the hero, is puzzled between Daisy’s simplicity and debauchery. Finally, daisy miller died dramatically of Roman fever, an infectious disease thought to be related to miasma in ancient Rome. (In fact, it may be Malaria spread by mosquito bites. In English, malaria malaria comes from the medieval Italian word "mala aria", which means miasma, and is named because malaria occurs mostly in swamps. )

Researchers usually regard daisy miller as one of Henry James’ representative works during his "international theme" creation period. The works of this period often focus on the acclimatization of Americans when facing the impact of European culture, and the simplicity and openness of American style are vulnerable to the complexity and sophistication of Europe. Obviously, daisy miller is a microcosm of the pure and open America, but in the novel, her opponents are not sophisticated Europeans, but Americans who have lived in Europe for a long time. Europe’s long history, complexity and gloom are conveyed by these Americans who already know the way of Europe. In addition to the wrestling between Europe and the United States, there is also an internal contest in the American circle. As mentioned above, the upstarts come to Europe to stir not only the air in Europe, but also the restless nerves and identity anxiety of the upper-class Americans living in Europe.

Henry James

Warwick: the Back Garden of the Puritans

The beginning of the novel is very distinctive. The story is told by an omniscient narrator who takes readers to the resort town of Wowei near Geneva, two or three years after the unfortunate events in daisy miller. After describing the lakes, mountains and tourist sights of the town, the author fine-tuned the time axis forward and introduced the hero of the novel, Winterborn, an American boy who was deeply educated in European culture. After that, the story is narrated through the omniscient third person, and Winterborn’s subjective perspective is introduced as a filter.

Winterborn met daisy miller, a beautifully dressed American lady, in the garden and recommended herself as a tour guide for Miss Miller. Winterborn felt that the behavior of traveling with single women was not in line with European tradition, but this little deviance made him excited. However, Winterborn found that the young lady was "not embarrassed at all" and "not angry or upset", as if it was normal to associate with men. The attitude of the Millers also puzzled Winterborn, and Daisy’s mother was completely free from the nervousness of her guardian. Although Winterborn is fascinated by Miss Miller’s nature and beauty, she can’t help wondering whether Miss Miller is an honest lady or a rude girl. Is her frankness a national trait or a personal upbringing?

After daisy miller and Winterborn traveled alone for 30 years, E·M· Forster described the proper way for "educated" European men and women to get along in the novel Room with a View published in 1908. When George’s father warmly invited Miss Lucy to change a room with a view, Miss bartlett, Lucy’s companion, became so angry that she couldn’t believe that a man would make such an unreasonable conversation. Perhaps in 1908, Miss bartlett’s anger was somewhat outdated, but in Europe 30 years ago, I’m afraid American girls did their own thing.

Henry James’s novel style is often awkward, ambiguous and full of implications and hints. Although daisy miller is unusually vivid and lively, it does not prevent Henry James from burying subtle clues in the novel. It is no accident that the novel begins in the small town of Warwick near Geneva. Geneva, as the center of Calvinism, represents a rigorous and conservative European atmosphere, and also represents the self-admonition of Americans who carefully seek identity in Europe. In order to get rid of the reckless, vulgar, lack of integrity of the American impression, upper-class Americans do not hesitate to strengthen their Puritan rigor and defend the tradition more fiercely to prove themselves.

But Warwick is different. The beauty and laziness of this resort town, the surprisingly blue lake and the mild moonlight all soften the Puritans’ serious temperament, so that young Americans like Winterborn can temporarily escape from the suffocating air, tentatively break the rules and take social risks. For the Millers who lack social experience, Wowei’s lakes and mountains distract their attention. At this time, they have not yet noticed the hidden contradictions in the circle of Europeans and Americans.

Rome: Ambiguous and Complicated Space

Winterborn’s strict aunt, Mrs. Kostrov, hinted to him that although the Millers looked elegant and rich, their position in the social hierarchy was not too high. This is daisy miller’s first evaluation in the circle of European and American people.

In January, Winterborn came to Italy as promised, and the location of the story changed from a simple holiday town to a broader, complex and ambiguous space: Rome. Different from rigorous Geneva, Europe represented by Rome is divided into two dimensions. On the one hand, ancient art and tradition are admirable, on the other hand, it is chaotic and full of unknown risks. In this field, several kinds of Europeans and Americans, represented by Daisy, Winterborn and Mrs. Walker, began to collide.

The first new figure to appear is Mrs. Walker, who has lived in Geneva for many years and is spending the winter in Rome. This is also a hint, another American who disciplined himself under the European tradition. Mrs. Walker can be regarded as a supplement to the strict and conservative Aunt Costello, because the arrogant Aunt Costello has sternly refused to meet Miss Miller, and the appearance of the slightly gentle Mrs. Walker aims to make readers feel the confrontation between the old and the new nobles.

In the social arena, Miss Miller’s wildness and her own way are a whirlwind. Not only does she not abide by the code of conduct of upper-class women, but this time she introduces a more dangerous factor-foreign men with suspicious identities-than traveling alone with upper-class American men in Warwick. "I casually made friends with half a dozen Roman men who specialize in chasing rich women and took them everywhere." If the Millers’ rural nouveau riche background triggered a subtle but unobtrusive rejection from the upper class, Daisy’s association with the lower class was an intolerable and dangerous act, like introducing a virus into the stable and closed upper class, which made people fidgety.

The dramatic scene took place outside Mrs. Walker’s apartment. Daisy is going to the nearby Pinzio Park for a walk with her "suspicious" Italian friend Chovan Neni. At this time, the threat of Roman fever first appeared in the novel. First, Mrs. Walker tried her best to persuade her, because it was easy to catch fever during the rush hour. Daisy miller didn’t listen to advice, and then Mrs Walker hurried out with the carriage, trying to finally save the wild girl. "Tell her to get on the bus and walk around here with her for half an hour, so people will find that she is not too wild, and then send her back to the hotel."

This is not so much a threat of infectious diseases as an identity anxiety of strangers. What makes Mrs Walker nervous is the chain reaction caused by daisy miller’s lack of education. Her carelessness will make Americans look suspicious and vulgar in front of European traditions, and will make Americans living in Europe encounter a collective identity crisis. Daisy seems to be a suspected infected person. She rashly broke through the boundaries of class and came into contact with the rude virus of the lower class. If she is not isolated and exiled in time, she will endanger the health of the whole upper-class American.

Stills of the movie of the same name (1974) adapted from the novel.

Colosseum: the punishment of plague

In a sense, Winterborn’s hesitation, confusion and delay in daisy miller constitute the tension and structural advancement of the whole novel. In the face of the slander thrown at Daisy, he sometimes dismissed it, thinking that Daisy was sincere and simple, and sometimes it was difficult to convince himself that Daisy’s repeated behavior of breaking through class boundaries was a proper lady’s behavior.

Winterborn’s feelings for Daisy are divided along two tendencies: one is to try to find proof of Daisy’s innocence, so that when he claims to be in love with her, he won’t make a "fatal mistake" on class issues; The second is an impulse to belittle Daisy’s class, so that he can return to the stable and unified values of American upper-class compatriots without any worries.

At the hesitant stall in Winterborn, American immigrants gradually gave up daisy miller. Winterborn "never saw her again in those acquaintances’ homes", "They no longer invited her as a guest, but also said that they would solemnly announce to keen Europeans that although Miss daisy miller is an American girl, her behavior is not representative, and even her compatriots think that her behavior is very abnormal". Daisy miller, suspected of being infected with the dangerous virus of the lower class, was gradually isolated from the American social circle.

But daisy miller seems unconcerned and still goes his own way. Finally, when Winterborn saw daisy miller and Chovan Nene enjoying the night scene in the Colosseum in the middle of the night, he made up his mind to define daisy miller as a frivolous woman, and no longer had any respect for her. At this time, the miasma of disease in ancient Rome revived again, turning into a moral admonition and punishment, engulfing women who did not obey social rules and protect themselves, and making careless girls die in infectious diseases. This social rule not only includes the correct way of communication between men and women, but also includes whether women choose the right communication object. It should be noted that just six months ago, in the small town of Warwick, Winterborn also politely invited daisy miller to go boating for a night outing. However, under the double guarantee of Puritans and upper-class status, such a night outing was obviously not in danger of getting sick.

More than 50 years later, Roman fever in the Colosseum in ancient Rome has a more gloomy meaning in Edith Wharton’s works. A woman set a trap to compete for her husband. She used an impostor love letter to let her rival go to the Colosseum for a tryst, with the intention of exposing her rival to Roman fever in dangerous air and dying. Like the daisy miller incident, the miasma in the Colosseum never spared any women with moral defects. But unlike Miss Miller, who was bent on her own way, this reckless woman learned from a bitter experience after being infected with fever, abandoned the past dust, seized the opportunity of her last marriage and returned to the upper class again. She was seriously ill, but she survived.

Judging from our compatriots in daisy miller, daisy miller may have died of recklessness, misconduct and moral defects, but we can also say that daisy miller died of the curse and murder of our compatriots in the United States who were eager to get rid of it.

On November 15th, 2024 Guangzhou Auto Show was successfully held. At this auto show site, the new Alfa T5 was officially launched. The new car launched five sub-models, with a terminal retail price range of 123,800-167,800 yuan, and also launched five-fold car purchase benefits. As a modified model, the overall appearance of the new car still continues the design of the current model, but the details and configuration are optimized and upgraded.

In terms of appearance, the new car completely subverts the design language of Alfa T and S. Its triangular headlight group is extremely sharp, and its built-in three-stage daytime running light is even more fierce. The narrow front grille is cleverly embedded between the two lights, which makes it difficult to associate with the identity of new energy. The front shovel at the bottom is slightly convex, with double-sided diversion grooves, which is full of movement. The convex rib line design on the hood pushes the sporty atmosphere to a climax.

On the side of the car body, the overall shape of the new car is heavy and full, and the design of the suspended roof is younger and more in line with the current fashion trend.

The tail of the car abandoned the classic "Little Fox" LOGO of the polar fox and replaced it with a simple and atmospheric ARCFOX letter logo. The bottom is decorated with silver fender, and the inverted triangle design like racing pilot light is embedded under the license plate frame, which adds a touch of bright embellishment to the rear of the car.

The interior design of the new car advocates minimalist aesthetics, and the multi-function steering wheel with double spokes and flat bottom inherits the family classics, with perfect precision. In front of the driver, the traditional dashboard is absent, replaced by a large-size touch screen suspended on the center console, which is convenient to control and the physical buttons are almost extinct. The central armrest in the front row is outlined with unique Y-shaped lines, showing personality. Seats, steering wheel and armrest boxes are all wrapped in environmentally friendly materials, so as to make the air inside the car pure, almost zero formaldehyde and benzene, and create a healthy driving space.

In the power part, the new Alfa T5 is driven by permanent magnet synchronous motor, which provides two different power versions, the maximum power is 185 kW and 200 kW respectively, and the maximum torque is 360 Nm. The battery is available in 65 kWh and 79.5 kWh, and the cruising range of CLTC is 520km, 630km and 660km.

Another "dark horse" from Dongfeng Peugeot is coming, and precipitation is a classic

Today, I picked a car among the medium-sized cars to introduce to you, and it is it. Let’s take a look below.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of the Peugeot 408X first. The front of the Peugeot 408X looks very fashionable and sporty. With the headlights, it has a great visual impact. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic opening and closing, adaptive far and near light, delayed closing, etc. To the side of the body, the body size of the car is 4705MM*1859MM*1502MM, the car adopts avant-garde lines, the side of the car looks very individual and flamboyant, with large-sized thick-walled tires, smooth lines run through the entire side of the car. At the rear of the car, the Peugeot 408X has a simple rear line, the taillights look very deep, and the unique exhaust pipe makes the shape more dignified.

In terms of interior, the interior of the Peugeot 408X looks very deep, giving people a very angular feeling. The appearance of the steering wheel of the car looks very good, equipped with the steering wheel manual up and down + front and rear adjustment, and other functions, and the grip is good. Take a look at the central control, with a 10.25-inch touch LCD central control screen, the interior design is quite layered, and the overall design of the central control is very good. Let me introduce the dashboard and seats. The dashboard of the car presents an eye-catching design style, and the trendy design elements make people remember it at a glance. The car uses leather seats, and the seats are wrapped in place, making it very comfortable to ride.

The Peugeot 408X is matched with an automatic manual (AT) gearbox, with a maximum power of 129KW and a maximum torque of 250N.m, resulting in good power performance.

The car is equipped with driving mode selection, remote control key, interior ambient light, engine start-stop, traction control (ASR/TCS, etc.), etc. The configuration is not bad, and there is no problem in meeting daily use.

After reading this car, I believe you have a general understanding. Models at this level often offer a good balance of cost-effectiveness and practicality, and are often considered by most consumers to be the first choice when buying a car.

A tank of oil can run 1300km, equipped with an electric tail, analyzing the new Mazda EZ-6

?What can you think of when you think of Mazda? Soul design, curve dancers, ZOOM-ZOOM concept… Although Mazda has not been a high-selling brand in the market, it always has something to remember, and there are many horse fans, and Mazda’s cars always have a unique temperament, like this new EZ-6, which has become the first medium-sized car of a joint venture brand with a new energy dual-power system. Let’s see if this new car can still fascinate people.

A one-sentence review of the Mazda EZ-6:

While adhering to tradition, we have also come up with some exciting innovations!

Advantage:

1. The Soul design is still so good-looking, and there is also an electric rear wing

2. The rear row has a large space, and the middle floor is nearly flat

3. The interior is made of good materials and has a sense of luxury

4. Acceleration and deceleration are linear, and it is not easy to get motion sickness (extended range version)

5. The steering setting is still Mazda, and the chassis comfort is also good

Insufficient:

1. The back of the rear seat is straight

2. There are no physical buttons in the car, and the old horse powder needs to adapt.

Soul design still looks good

The Mazda EZ-6 may be the most characteristic new energy vehicle at the moment. The front of the car retains a large mouth grille, and after adding a half-circle of daytime running lights, it forms a flying wing shape together with the headlights, which also shows a difference from the previous Soul design. Anyway, it looks good.

The lines of the whole car are very smooth, and the concave and convex surface is just right. The color scheme of Soul Red can show the light and shadow effect very well, so even if this color still needs to add 2,000 yuan, it is also worth for money.

Looking at it from the side, you will find that the Mazda EZ-6’s body posture is forward dive, with 19-inch wheels and a slippery back design, which is quite dynamic.

picture

The most attractive rear of the car is the electric rear wing, which is a pure configuration that satisfies emotional value, and with the through-type light strip and the four-round tail light group design, it is also recognizable.

Mazda’s back row has never been so abundant

Looking back, Mazda’s interior space was often its disadvantage. Looking at the rear row (black interior in the picture below), and then looking at the EZ-6, the difference is too great. Mazda has never fought such a rich battle. Suddenly, the rear row space is larger than that of its old rival. With this change, I believe it can attract many consumers.

Moreover, the Mazda EZ-6 is produced on a pure electric platform, so the rear floor is almost flat, and the middle person can ensure comfort. The seat is moderately soft and hard, and the middle part of the seat cushion and the seat back is suede, which has a higher friction coefficient and can effectively prevent skid. However, the angle of the back of the seat is straight, which affects the comfort.

The interior materials are very high-end.

In addition to the large space, the Mazda EZ-6 has a sense of luxury in the car, which is also very different from past Mazda models. The areas that you will touch every day are covered with leather and suede, and the leather touch of the two-color steering wheel is also very delicate. With the appropriate chrome trim, the refinement and advanced sense are in place.

The door panel is also covered with a large area of suede material, which is rare in a joint venture medium-sized car.

Coupled with the front integrated seats, the texture of the entire car is excellent, and the front seats are still zero gravity, allowing you to lie flat with one click, which is really convenient when you need to rest.

picture

Acceleration and deceleration are linear, easy to drive and comfortable

The Mazda EZ-6 doesn’t really look like a new energy car. On the one hand, it’s the acceleration feeling. Mazda deliberately suppressed the explosive characteristics of the motor, or let the power follow the depth of the electric pedal step by step, which can make the occupants feel more comfortable. In fact, the 6.9-second zero-hundred acceleration of the extended-range version is already very fast, and the daily urban driving power can be said to be on call.

On the other hand, it is the experience of braking and kinetic energy recovery. Friends who have driven new energy vehicles should know that even if the kinetic energy recovery is adjusted to a weak level, they will still clearly feel its intervention after the switch is turned off. On the EZ-6, even if it is adjusted to a strong level, the intervention of kinetic energy recovery is very weak, and the vehicle will not be dragged, and the people in the car will not feel uncomfortable. With the comfort brake system, the car can completely prevent nodding at the moment it stops, which also enhances the overall comfort.

Still a curve dancer

Mazda on the EZ-6 in order to allow you to steer more delicately, by increasing the steering force and damping in the central area, you can always maintain a good steering line and consistency. Even if you are a novice, you can feel the steering wheel of the EZ-6 communicating with you when turning and trying to help you control the vehicle accurately. This is obviously different from the light direction setting common in family cars. In summary, when the car is driven, you feel that it is very obedient.

picture

The adjustment of the EZ-6 by Mazda engineers has achieved overall acceleration without dashing, braking without nodding, cornering without dizziness, more accurate steering, millisecond-level body response, a perfect axle-to-load ratio of 50:50, an elk test speed of more than 80 kilometers per hour, and a dual-shift test speed of more than 110 kilometers per hour, which also fully demonstrates Mazda’s century-old profound car building skills.

A central control screen that some people love and some people hate

Finally, let’s talk about the large screen. As a new energy vehicle, it is not surprising to have a large screen. The entire smart cockpit of the EZ-6 is also from Changan, and the use of functions including voice control is no problem. If you are a young person or if you are buying your first car, then you will like this large screen and the functions it contains.

picture

But if you are an old Mazda owner, or other old fuel car owners, and you want to buy this EZ-6, then you definitely need to get used to the operation in the car. For example, the opening and closing of low beams and daytime running lights must be completed in the large screen, which will definitely make you uncomfortable. In fact, I have always believed that large-screen smart cars do not conflict with buttons and knobs, and use them at hand and mouth. This is also human nature. Perhaps on the day when we can really drive autonomously, we can completely abandon buttons and knobs.

edit summary

There is no doubt that Mazda EZ-6 is a joint venture new energy vehicle worthy of recommendation. Maybe you want to ask if it is the same as Changan’s brother models. I can tell you responsibly that the difference is too obvious. Mazda’s adjustment of the chassis and steering is world-class, and it is really pleasing to drive. So if the final price of the EZ-6 extended range version is around 160,000, it is really worth buying.
