Circe
I have the desire, rebellion and power that others think I shouldn't have.
I have everything that can attract Lei Ting.
I will split it all too!¡ª¡ª
¡¾brief introduction¡¿
Gods, witches, mothers, mortals
? Ignore, exile, isolate, choose
Destroyer, Survivor, Guardian, Reshaper
? The outcast, the bullied, the one who resists patriarchy and theocracy
People who are brave enough to control their own destiny!
In the temple of the sun god Helios, Circe was the most eccentric child¡ªneither divinely fulfilled like her father, nor alluring and seductive like her mother. She was not blessed and loved when she was born, and even her own brothers and sisters excluded her. Circe, rejected by the gods, had to turn to the mortal world for understanding and companionship. In contact with mortals, she gradually discovered her own talent - witchcraft, whose power can even threaten the gods.
Fearing her power, Zeus exiled her to the remote island of Eia. There she honed her skills, tamed wild beasts, and met the most famous characters in the mythical world¡ªdealing with the extremely cunning Hermes among the gods of Olympus; and went to Crete to help Pasiphae tame the bull's head Blame the Minotaur; have a brief but dewy love affair with the legendary craftsman Daedalus; witness the madness of Medea; of course, the visit of the Greek hero Odysseus is worth highlighting
Circe's life was dark and profound, but she was not part of that hopeless darkness, but a creature struggling to escape in order to control her own destiny. This abandoned woman, whose soul shines like gold, bursts out with scorching heat and light, and spends her life composing a Prometheus-style elegy of generosity in defense of freedom¡ª¡ª

¡¾Media/Celebrity Comments¡¿
"A bold and subversive reimagining of the goddess story," the New York Times no. A hero figure."¡ª¡ª
Alexander Alter, The New York Times
Circe brings modern feminist ideas to classical texts It is amazing to see this Circe emerge from the mists, compassionate and 21st century motivated-
"Time Magazine"
Fascinating Circe is her own hero. Miller boldly created a classic feminist narrativeits core character is the same as each of us: a free woman, in order to control her own destiny, must break the shackles she was born with, whether it was thousands of years ago, Still now¡ª¡ª

Rapture. Total ecstasy. Elegant and delicate, true and avant-garde. The story is full of ups and downs and surging. Miller shakes the dust from Homer's tapestry, giving it light, splendor of color and texture. A terrific novel-
A.J Fein, author of The Woman in the Window
theThere is witchcraft. Even her father thought, how could it be possible for a person like you. But the fact is, she is not mediocre. In the end, he was exiled to Eana because of this difference, which is equivalent to "killing" the timid little girl with his own hands, allowing her to grow up gradually and become stronger and stronger with her lonely company, and sharpen into an independent A big woman who stands in the way.
There were different men around Circe, she once fell in love and gave humbly. After being hurt by love, although still falling in love, but no longer obsessed with love, or become a slave of love. Later, she never attached to men, but was on an equal footing with them, comforting and caring for each other. After they left, she only misses occasionally in her memories, but memories are not the whole of her life.
She is doing what she loves and trying her best to live a colorful life. From the panic when he first came to the island, to the increasingly optimistic and calm, he lived in peace with all things on the island and treated each other like friends. The change in Circe's mentality is a manifestation of his maturity. She changed from resisting loneliness to enjoying, or in other words, being content with loneliness. This amazing change is not only caused by the inevitable environment, but also a manifestation of her spiritual transformation from weak to strong.
The author uses the character of Circe to connect multiple characters in Greek mythology without violating harmony, which is very interesting to read. It's like sitting by the fire in the long cold winter, listening to the witch named Circe telling her story about her adventure.
Although these gods are not humans, they have the same emotions as humans. However, when the two develop love, they will inevitably face aging and death, but God does not have to go through this process.
Gods are similar to humans and can be divided into many types. The weaknesses and bad qualities of human beings, as well as the good qualities that human beings have, God also has. There is no need to over-interpret or worship God.
After reading this book, there may be a god that will make you unforgettable. But whether it was Circe or not, this witch will leave a mark on your memory. In the past two days, when I think of her, a wave of courage arises in my heart.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Her love brain in the early stage, self-pity and self-pity in the middle stage, and child control and control madness in the later stage all jumped on my radar, from worshiping men to needing men, and finally pinning her self-confidence on her own witchcraft (experience-based skills, which are different from innate magical arts), in fact, although Circe was transformed in the end, I basically had zero affection for her in so long chapters, but this novel is still very good, adventures, adventures The fantasy colors such as , prophecy, etc. are very wonderful, and those sea monsters, river gods, rich lands, and exiled island homes are all displayed like a scroll.
In the other movies I read, such as Clytemnestra in "The Famous Family", I like it too much, but the charm of the myth itself in Circe is undoubtedly the most attractive. At the same time, the relationship between Circe and other female characters and The change is very well shaped, full of jealousy and framing, but slowly becoming more and more sincere, becoming an ally, the whole change is very exciting. In contrast, the relationship between the heroine and Helen in "Penelope" is too monotonous. And the ending of Circe is also very interesting. In the end, she is with the son of her old lover Odysseus.
This group portrait play is really good, both annoying and lovable characters are worth watching. Circe was born in a repressive, distorted extreme patriarchal society, and experienced the pain of women's childbirth and parenting. Longing for love, longing for companionship, and finally smashing everything, escaping from all shackles, and gaining self. Although there are too many trivialities and pains in the process of escaping from the father, escaping from the man, and letting go of the son, there is an inexplicable sense of relief at the end, and the author can write so many female images labeled as villains and virgins in mythology. That much subtlety is really nice. ah! I¡¯m thinking about the spicy dish "Famous Family" again. Why is it written so powerfully from a female perspective, and it also needs to add a son¡¯s growth line? I¡¯m so wilted after reading it. Otherwise, I might vote for Famous Family in terms of love alone. In the first chapter, the father sacrifices his daughter, and the wife murders her husband in anger. This passage does not subvert the original text and is simply described in detail. The writing style is really excellent. Hateful, I don't want to read too long male perspective content in feminist texts.

Finally, I wish you all a happy International Women's Day! I hope that everyone can face the cruelty of life bravely like Circe, bravely face the dark side of oneself, be brave to be alone, and be brave to be yourself!
