[Comprehensive Classics] Detective Mary

Modern au: "King of Carnival" movie follow-up.

Before the release of the latest "King of Carnival," Philip Luther's story had been adapted countless times.

Mary Bennet's mystery novels have always been known as "consciousness ahead".Whether it is the special definition of criminal psychology of a positive serial murderer for the first time in history, or the tortuous legend that implements media promotion and marketing strategies inside and outside the novel, they are all in line with the characteristics of the times and at the same time keenly aware of the special conditions. historical changes.In the [-]th century, Mary Bennet saw all kinds of practical problems in society and was the first to smell the breath of the future. It can be said that she summed up the general laws in reality, and her stories contain criticisms , also has a future.

—that's how the sign that hangs in the Mary Bennet Memorial, in Serpentine Street, Mary's former apartment, sums up her work.

"As a woman," the guide said to the tourists, "Miss Bennet can be said to be our pioneer. In the nineteenth century, she actively participated in social activities, helped workers improve their lives, and insisted on fighting against cults. .What is written on the board is her literary achievements, and her achievements as a social activist are enough to go down in history."

Mary: "..."

"But I think," the young guide girls looked at the interested tourists and laughed, "Since everyone chooses to visit Miss Mary's former residence, I'm afraid they are all loyal readers of her. In fact, I am too. Although Miss Mary and her Philip Luther were attacked by critics, especially when her true identity was accidentally exposed, there are still people with true appreciation who can Appreciate her works with eyes beyond the times."

As the speaker spoke, the girl pressed the button to switch pages.

On the next page of the explanation board, a portrait of Mary was replaced, with a comment next to it.

"This comment was written to the editor-in-chief by a famous reporter of The Times at that time," said the narrator girl. The husband of the Decade News reporter called her a Dostoevsky-like soul."

Mary: "..."

I can't stand it!

Mary, who was standing in front of the explanation board, blushed so much that she was almost smoking.To be reasonable, the reporter at the time didn't say that at all, he just used Dostoevsky as a metaphor!

Even if it was just a metaphor, it was enough to make Mary feel guilty at the time.It's good now, but after more than a hundred years, it is directly touted as "Mary Bennet has the soul of Dostoevsky", who can bear it!

"Not to mention Mr. Fred Hall, then editor-in-chief of the "Seaside Magazine", who had a unique eye—Miss, are you okay?"

Maybe it was because Mary reacted too much, the guide girl couldn't help but stop, and looked at Mary with concern: "Are you feeling unwell?"

"--It's ok."

Before Mary could speak, Sherlock Holmes on the side took the words for her.

Mr. Detective in the 21st century still has an almost indifferent calm tone: "She is a loyal reader of Mary Bennet, and even selects her works for college papers."

The explainer girl suddenly realized.

In this way, it is understandable why this petite strange lady blushed with excitement.

"It turns out that you are still here for the 'pilgrimage'," the guide lady joked, "then you have to listen carefully, this is related to graduation."

"Indeed."

Holmes added in a serious way: "After all, in terms of understanding of the author, there is a big difference between her and her tutor."

Mary: "Okay, stop talking!"

To say that there are "big differences" is to be regarded as a tactful statement by Sherlock Holmes himself, okay?

To be reasonable, Mary chose the topic for the newspaper at the time out of laziness—she was Mary Bennet herself, and she knew the creative environment and creative ideas at that time well, and it was not a matter of minutes to write a paper.Mary didn't believe it anymore, who else in this world could understand the work better than the author himself?

However, the dream is full and the reality is cruel.

Facts have proved ruthlessly that in literature majors, even if you are the author himself, you don't necessarily understand the work better than the literary reviewer.

Not to mention anything else, such as "Jane Eyre" and the author Charlotte Bronte. In the nineteenth century when feminism was in its infancy, Charlotte Bronte strongly denied that her works contained Feminist budding colors.But in the 21st century, even if you are a literary critic with "straight male cancer", when referring to "Jane Eyre", you have to say that the works of the Bronte sisters show women's freedom of love and break through the class gap spiritual needs?Not to mention scholars who focus on feminist literature, when discussing the nineteenth century, they cannot avoid "Jane Eyre" anyway.

The same goes for applying the same reasoning to Mary's own writing.

Before she got the papers and textbooks, she never thought that her works would be so "deep"-sometimes not necessarily what she intended to express, but in the unique social background of the rising capitalism period in Victoria , all kinds of stories unfolded, even if Mary's inspiration comes from a future world that is different from this world line, it will inevitably bring traces of a special era background after modification and integration.

Because of this, the critics at the time would praise her for "ruthlessly exposing the reality", and there would also be the reporter who followed the labor movement, who saw the social value of Philip Luther's story at first glance.

In this regard, even if it is her own work, Mary has to start from the beginning—the history of literature and history of literature, first of all, literature, and secondly, history.And writing a thesis requires the knowledge of literary theory. It sounds like reading literature is just doing reading comprehension and creating, but actually reading it is an advanced knowledge with a systematic theoretical system.

Of course, what is more important than knowledge is that it is impossible for Mary to boast that she "has the soul of Dostoevsky"! !

What is this all about!

She finally realized the meaning of the saying that time is the best filter.

As for Sherlock Holmes, he still had the expression of joy and anger: "I think, besides the reporter and the editor-in-chief, there are other people supporting the writer."

Sherlock Holmes' words were blunt, and his calm tone seemed to test the level of knowledge.The detective was tall and thin, with a sharp-edged face and light-colored eyes that always carried a scrutiny.Even if you put on modern clothes, you still have an extraordinary bearing when you stop indoors.

Therefore, he acted like a critic, even bluffing the lecturer girl.

Not only was the young lady not angry, but her expression was restrained: "Of course, her lover, the famous detective Mr. Sherlock Holmes, is also an important supporter of Miss Mary."

"So the author is married."

"I'm afraid you want to ask why Miss Mary is still called 'Miss' in spite of the fact that she is married."

The lecturer girl laughed.

"This is because Mary Bennet once said that her husband is a famous detective with extraordinary intelligence, but she is not willing to be the wife behind a man. In the eyes of Miss Mary, equality and mutual respect Her marriage is a real marriage. She hopes that she can be the wife of Mr. Holmes, and at the same time, she hopes that when people refer to her husband, it is not only a detective, but Mary Bennet's husband. So now People prefer to respect her wishes and call her Miss Mary," the guide girl agreed, "I don't think Mr. Holmes would mind."

Holmes raised his eyebrows: "Really? She really said so."

The guide girl nodded resolutely: "It's absolutely true. This is recorded in historical records. Ms. Mary told Ms. Irene Adler herself."

Mary: Help!

What a shameful play!

Even the chats and letters with friends on weekdays will become "historical materials" for research, and Mary's embarrassment phobia will be committed.In particular, Sherlock Holmes kept asking questions in a calm manner, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground and sneak in quickly.

No wonder writers don't want to be famous, because after they are famous, even their casual writing and casual words have unique value.It's crazy how things can happen to you.

Mary was even a little envious of other writers. No matter how much they talked about when she died, no matter whether it was insulting or flattering, at least they didn't know about it, and she would have to accept a public execution. What kind of world!

After leaving the "Mary Bennet House", Mary's cheeks were still red.

It was winter, and Mary, who was tightly wrapped, secretly took off her gloves, took off her scarf and rubbed her face.

Mr. Holmes did not turn his head, but glanced at Mary who was timidly rubbing her face with the corners of his eyes, and curled his mouth indistinctly.

"Strictly speaking, your ideal has come true," he began. "No famous detective is as famous as a famous writer, 'Miss Mary'"

"........."

Which pot is not open to mention which pot!

Knowing that Holmes did it on purpose, Mary, who was on the verge of embarrassment, managed to explode.

"I just said it wasn't a good idea," she couldn't help complaining, "why come to Serpentine Street, I say, it should be Baker Street."

"That's true. I haven't been to Baker Street in modern society."

After Sherlock Holmes finished speaking, he even raised his hand and glanced at his watch very seriously: "It's still too late, why don't we go and have a look?"

Mary: "...Forget it."

The main reason is that when others flatter her wildly in front of Mary, Mary will be shy and embarrassed.But to boast in front of Sherlock Holmes that he is a detective with extraordinary intelligence, unique vision, and epoch-making significance, he is very useful.

Thinking of this, Mary felt no sense of accomplishment.

Seeing her lack of interest, Holmes lowered his wrist: "That's just right, so as not to waste the tickets I bought earlier."

"Ticket, what ticket?" Mary was a little confused.

Mr. Holmes calmly took out two receipts from his pocket and handed them to Mary.

"Since you are very satisfied with the casting of the new Philip Luther," said the detective, "I think this time, you should be willing to go to the cinema to watch the adaptation of "The King of Carnival" with your own eyes."

What he was holding was the movie ticket for the new version of "The King of Carnival" tonight.
