欧也妮葛朗台英文读后感

In our life, when speaking of selfish, cold, stingy always referred to a short and fat old man. He is “Grandet” created by Balzac in his novel <Eugenie Grandet>.

This is a classical story of a girl whose life is blighted by her father’s hysterical greed. Eugenie’s father is the representative of greed and money. In order to collect money he lost human nature. Miss Eugenie is a kind and humane girl. Both her mother and herself considered money as a method for helping others. She used money to help those who need it. Charles is Eugenie’s cousin who was from a rich family but his father went bankrupt so he had to go to business abroad. He was from humane, pure to self-fish. He gave up his true love, and pursued a nobleman’s daughter.

In my thought, Money can not buy happiness . Even if has a lot of money, finally, we had to leave them and left alone. Money is only a part of the relationship between people. Love is priceless, cannot be measured by money.
