吉姆老爷英文读后感( 二 )


【吉姆老爷英文读后感】From where I stand, though the book tells Jim's story, I think his aim is to reveal the false of western imperialism. As to this issue, we can analysis the false imperialism via contrast. The captain of Paterna is arrogant and noble, and proud of coming from "these abode of piety and peace ".however, when the shipwreck happened, he flee from a calamity without a flash of hesitation. Contrast to the captain, the two native niggers try their best to carry out their duty as a humble sailor. And though Jim also abandon the ship, he regret immediately when take on the accident boat, and he is honest to receive the court's adjudgement in stead of telling lies. In addition, contrast to the gang of white pirates' treachery, the master of Patusan shows his mercy to the white pirates after Jim's beg. That is a epitome of the relationship between the colonist and aboriginals. The colonist cheat adoriginals' mercy and then kill them cruelly. And Jim's self-abuse and suicide also reflect the imperialism's false.
Lord Jim is regarded as a monument on the history of British novel.the highly status is oweing to the fancy structure and narrations. Conrad expose the theme with the trifling story of Jim'. he can follow the story whose climax is very simple in a interesting way with a singular structure. It is no wonder that Lord Jim become a monument of British novel.
