Summary | "狂人日記" by Xun Lu is a psychological novella written in the early 20th century. The book explores the themes of paranoia and societal alienation through the internal thoughts of a man who believes those around him are conspiring to consume him. It captures a deep existential dread as the protagonist grapples with the notion of cannibalism as a metaphor for social hypocrisy and moral decay. The narrative unfolds as the protagonist, increasingly paranoid and isolated, interacts with various villagers, including his own brother, who he suspects is in on the sinister plot against him. Throughout the story, he reflects on historical instances of cannibalism, linking the actions of individuals in his community to a broader commentary on human nature and morality. As he delves deeper into his fears, he uncovers dark familial secrets and questions the very fabric of humanity, ultimately leading him to a desperate search for truth and safety in a world that feels predatory and hostile. The novella serves as a powerful critique of societal norms and the darkness lurking within human interactions. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
