海底两万里 英文读后感

20000 leagues under the sea

When I first read this book at the age of 10, I was totally amazed by Verne’s vivid imagination of the mysterious undersea world. As a matter of fact, the curiosity towards the sea kind of made me ignore the important figure of this book, captain Nemo. Reading this book again, I have gained more inspiration.

What a pitiful man captain Nemo is! In my view, he could be a considerate husband of his wife, a great dad of his child and a tender son of his parents if he haven’t lost them all. It was the deep love that lead captain Nemo to a crazy way of revenge. He loved his family so much that his hope of life and his future are all linked with his family, if he lost his family, it would mean that he lost EVERYTHING. To him, the light of future life was extinguished with the death of who he loved. His mind, his sense, his heart were all sunk to the deepest part of the sea, which was ruled by the hatred and filled with darkness. He was trapped in the circular(我想说的是循环的…) revenge. The story of caption Nemo reminded me a comic character in Naruto. A young man named Nagato had a dream to protect the poor inhis country and make it a better place to live together with his two family-like friend. Yet,they were betrayed by their aliens when their team get up to speed. In order to save Nagato, his best friend was cruelly killed. Nagato, the young who once had a great dream, died with his best friend’s death. He gave himself another name “Pain” and get on the way of revenge in the memory of his friend. The hatred made him much stronger and he began to carry on his to plan to destroy a country.

Both Nemo and Nagato were controlled by hatred, and both of them found out there is nothing but more hatred and revenge that a revenge could bring to them after when they finally managed to fulfill the revenge. I think they have one big mistake in common that they simply believed that a revenge could calm their anger towards the world. However, it is hollowness that revenge could only bring. With no doubt, love is the true key to dissolve the hatred. Making the others happy, watching their smiling is the best medicine to heal the deep wound in their heart, as Nagato finally realized this point after fighting with Naruto. Yet, captain Nemo wasn’t lucky enough that no one have reminded him to notice the truth. I sympathized him a lot.
