In the process of growing up, Francci lacked a guide who gave her selfless love and help. In the novel, Genvrain Qi loses the most important and ideal guide because of her mother's absence. At the same time, due to her deformed height and eccentric personality, she is out of tune with the surrounding environment and even has no tacit friends. The lack of guidance in growing up directly leads to the lack of love, which is also an important reason why Frankie feels confused and lost in the process of growing up.
Frankie's mother died in childbirth. French's father Roy Quincy Adams is a jeweler in a small town. He is a widower. "Sometimes, especially in the early hours of the morning, he can't hear what she says or has any new proposals." Although my father loves Frankie very much, he is silent, unable to express his love to Frankie in time, and unable to give proper supervision to Frankie when he is busy. In the process of growing up, this relationship between Frantsi and his father can be called "excessive separation" between parents and children. Excessive separation will lead to children's emotional isolation, and strangeness and incomprehension of the adult world will lead to fear or fierce resistance to growth. Frankie didn't get selfless maternal love and lacked the supervision of her family, so she lacked a sense of security and belonging.
Bellinis plays Frantsi's mother. She tries her best to take care of Francci's three meals. Francci spent most of her time with Bei Lini, and Bei Lini gave Francci a lot of advice and guidance. Even so, many details in the article show that Bei Lini can't really replace her mother, and she is not an ideal guide. Frankie is a tomboy. Her inner desire is to live like a boy. Bei Lini completely ignored her desire and gave her a lot of advice on how to become a southern lady. Frantsi told her about her desire for the wedding and the outside world, but "this is exactly what Frantsi (Frantsi's second name) expected, and Berenice refused to understand." Bayless told Francci, "You should dress up beautifully, speak softly and be smart." Bei Lini wants to educate Genvrain Qi to become a girl who can be accepted by the mainstream society, but her education is obviously aimed at obliterating Frankie's personality.
Unlike many teenagers, "Frankie has left this group for a long time this summer. She does not belong to any group and has no dependence in this world. " Francci has no friends. She is with Bei Lini and John every day. "The three of them were sitting at the dining table, saying the same thing over and over again." /kloc-at the age of 0/2, she is much taller than girls of the same age, which makes her feel afraid and inferior, and also prevents her from making new friends. At the same time, her tomboy characteristics also prevented her from becoming friends with the "southern lady" respected by the mainstream society in the south at that time. Among these ladies, she became an anomaly. The lack of friends also makes her feel lonely and have no sense of belonging.
Realizing her low status as a girl, Frankie made all kinds of resistance and tried to surpass her gender. She was bent on living, working and studying like a boy, but all her resistance ended in failure due to her gender restrictions and external pressure.
Frankie is a tomboy, which is the first manifestation of her gender resistance. She has a boy's name. "Her shoulders are narrow, her legs are too long, and she is wearing a pair of blue shorts, a BVD undershirt and barefoot. Her hair was cut like a boy, not long after it was cut, so short that the sides were not separated. " In addition to dressing like a boy, she is more eager to live and work like a boy. "She wants to be a boy, a marine and go to war. She imagined flying a plane to win a gold medal for her heroic performance. " She dreams of the outside world and wants to fly away.
The second manifestation of Frankie's gender resistance is her fantasy of gender change. Frankie is keen on playing other people's games. "She traveled all over the town-through residential areas with lawns in the north, as well as humble factory areas and Sugewell where blacks live-wearing a Mexican straw hat, high-heeled boots and a cowboy rope around her waist, pretending to be Mexican everywhere." As can be seen from her game, she is dressed as a Mexican cowboy and hopes to be a handsome man. In the discussion with Bellinis about transsexuality, she "planned that people can change from boys to girls at any time, go back and forth and do whatever they want, as long as he likes and wants."
Frankie's failure in gender resistance is mainly manifested in the following two aspects. First, her imitation of women's clothing. Francci likes tomboy skirts. On the surface, she seems to be dismissive of all girls' clothes. However, when she decided to attend her brother's wedding, she went out and bought herself an orange evening dress and stockings. No matter how much Frankie hated the skirt, she gave in to please others. Second, her dream of traveling around the world was completely shattered. Frantsi is bent on traveling around the world, but "when she stood alone in the empty night street, she suddenly found herself at a loss." At this moment, she also realized that as a girl, she would not be accepted by this society. She wants to be a boy. "She wanted to dress up as a boy and lie about her age and name to join the navy." Frankie feels anxious and scared, but what really scares her is "her own ability and identity. She has not found her place in this society." She couldn't overcome the loneliness and fear of traveling around the world alone, and finally Frankie went home.
In short, in the process of learning to accept her own gender, Frankie experienced a process from resistance to obedience. The self she once defined and created freely has been obliterated, so Frankie's growth at this stage is also a period of losing herself.
Frantsi tried to find a sense of belonging through the pursuit of perfect love, and tried to experience the pleasure of growing up through dating, but both ended in failure. She felt more confused and lonely. Like all adolescent girls, Frankie is full of vague fantasies and desires about sex and love. However, due to her lonely and eccentric personality, her experience of sex and love is different from that of ordinary people, which leads to her failure in pursuing perfect love, and she has also experienced a failed sexual experience.
Frankie dreams of going to his brother's wedding far away from the town where he lives. At the same time, he whimsically hopes to become "our me" with his brother and bride and live with them forever. The wedding is actually a symbol of "perfect love" and represents Frankie's dream. Every girl's pursuit of love is different. In lonely Frankie's view, love is actually mutual possession and a kind of belonging. In adult world, love is selfish. Because of love, some weddings are only for two people, some are just spectators, and there are always only two protagonists in the wedding. But in the eyes of naive Frankie, love can be enjoyed and selfless, so she can also be a part of the wedding, she can travel to the wedding dress with her brother and bride, and she can be "our me". The innocence of girls will eventually be replaced by experience. In this process, girls often experience great loss and disillusionment.
After seeing her brother and his bride Franqi, "the questions of the past resurfaced-who she is, who she will be in this world, and why she is standing here at this moment-when these questions reappeared, she was no longer sad, nor did she suffer because she didn't know the answer." She finally knows who she is and where she is going. She loves her brother and bride, and she will be a part of the wedding. The three of them will devote themselves to this world, and they will be together forever. "Her brother's wedding gave her hope and she found herself. However, the real wedding is not what she imagined. " The wedding is like a dream beyond her ability, or like a performance that she didn't arrange, and there is no suitable role for her. "After coming home from the wedding, she tried to make a final struggle by running away from home, but once again she ended up being taken home by the police." The feeling of isolation was gone, and she returned to the fear of summer-the miscalculation of the wedding turned this fear into fear. "After this wedding, Frankie didn't find her" perfect love "as she wished, but fell into a state of confusion and loneliness again. She lost her heart of belonging, lost herself and didn't know what the future meant to her.
In addition to the failure to pursue "perfect love", Frankie also experienced a failed sexual experience. This experience made her more aware of the girl's subordinate position, but the helplessness of being unable to change this situation made her more confused about her life. Francci met a soldier while walking in the street. She followed the soldier to his "Blue Moon" hotel. While Blue Moon was drinking beer, she promised the soldiers an appointment at 9 pm. In the evening, Francci came to the "Blue Moon" as promised, but "when the soldier's eyes were fixed on her, she was very unhappy with the strange feeling she noticed at noon." This kind of date is far from what she imagined. Her superficial understanding of sex can't make her realize the true intention of soldiers' "dating", but she feels strange. The soldier invited her upstairs. Although "Molly doesn't want to go upstairs, she doesn't know how to refuse." The silence in the room made her nervous, and she realized the potential danger of dating this soldier. When he grabbed her skirt and dragged her to bed in horror, she finally resisted. She couldn't break free, but she bit it with all her strength. She must have bitten the tongue of a crazy soldier. ""She reached for the glass pitcher and threw it at him. " Because Frantsi was ignorant and realized that women were victims of sexual behavior, she made such a big resistance. Frankie was disillusioned with dating. When Francci felt lonely and wanted someone to travel with her, she thought of the soldier. "But she remembered the silence in the hotel room and the foul language behind the garage-these scattered memories were pieced together in her chaotic consciousness, just like the plane where the beams of searchlights met in the night sky, so there was some understanding between lightning and stone fire, and a cold surprise rose in her heart." This cold surprise is actually her last epiphany about sex. She realized that the love between men and women is actually physical love, and this kind of love is not what she pursues. There is a wonderful description of the wedding members, whether it is scenery description or psychological description. When describing the scenery and everything in summer, people are immersed in it. Through this description, we can feel the psychological state of the protagonist. Carson mccullers reflected the sultry, boring and even crazy summer in this southern town through vision, touch, taste and hearing. Outdoor, it is scorching sun and suffocating thick green plants; Indoor, in the afternoon, the sun shines obliquely into the kitchen. Everyone in the kitchen has sweaty and sticky skin, clothes smell of sweat, and the radio is noisy. Frankie walked around the table like a trapped animal, full of hope that a wedding would save her, stay away from depression, boredom and loneliness, and live a "us" life in the cool winter mountains. It is this exquisite description, whether outdoors or indoors, that makes readers understand all kinds of seemingly absurd and logical ideas that the characters in the book may have in such an environment.
For these slightly absurd ideas, mccullers gave a slight turning point and change. When Frankie decided to say goodbye to the small town where she lived the day before her wedding, her psychology seemed to have changed. "On this day, from the first moment, the world seems to be no longer isolated from her. Suddenly, she feels that she is included." She ran all over the town, trying to tell everyone about the Dongshan wedding. She also got up the courage to tell some people she knew and didn't know. The fact is that she was not included in this world, but Frankie didn't care about herself, because after this day, she thought she would have a better world. From Frantsi's crazy behavior, from her tireless narrative, from other people's well-meaning or indifferent reactions, readers still feel lonely. Although there are efforts to get rid of loneliness, it can't change the status quo except indifference.
The dialogue between the characters in the novel is also unique. Although in many cases, their dialogue seems to have no theme and logic, readers can clearly capture the confusion or impulse or indifference or helplessness of the characters, because such a dialogue is likely to be blurted out by readers with the same mentality in daily life. Mccullers describes a state of life, which is repressed, isolated and unable to communicate. Because they can't communicate, Frantsi and Berenice often have nothing to do with each other, just trying to make each other understand their struggle. The last two ideas ran counter to each other, and the conversation collapsed. Or john henry's six-year-old unclear thinking and views. In any case, this kind of life is constantly compromised in different ideas, just like when Frantsi is stubborn, Bellinis will change the subject. Interestingly, this state of life is reflected in a child of 12 years old, so it will also show the characteristics of a girl of 12 years old, such as love of beauty, love of fantasy, desire to join a girls' club and so on. At an age when there should be only growing happiness and troubles, Frantsi is more often disappointed, disappointed with ineffective communication and disappointed with being ignored, so he expects fantasy to change the status quo. Unfortunately, disillusioned Genvrain Qi had to face the reality again. Mccullers's "Young World" is actually the same, which makes people feel helpless.
