In the article "Little Match Girl", "This is a strange fire." Why is this a strange fire?

Because the light was warm and bright, the little girl had an illusion.

Analysis:

The author compares the illusion of describing the little girl lighting a match five times with the cold reality. In the first vision, the little girl saw the big stove, because she was very cold in reality, which showed that she was hungry and cold. The second time, the little girl saw the roast goose coming to her because she was hungry in reality, which showed that she longed for delicious food.

The third time, the little girl saw the Christmas present because she was unhappy, which showed that she longed for happiness. The fourth and fifth time she saw her grandmother, because no one caressed her, she flew away with her grandmother, which showed that she longed for caress.

Through the comparative analysis of this auspicious situation, it is not difficult to see that the little girl has nothing but lighting matches again and again and looking for it in hallucinations again and again. Her good wishes and dreams for happiness are only pinned on her fantasies. Besides, she only has cold, hunger and pain. Through this contrast between imagination and reality, the author reveals the tragic fate of the little girl and accuses the social system that causes inequality between the rich and the poor.

Theme of the little match girl's work:

Truth is the touching vitality of literary works, and any false argument and all false exaggeration are not enough to arouse the emotional resonance of readers. In The Little Match Girl, Andersen described the poor little girl's unfortunate fate and her psychological activities in detail, especially her fantasies about food, warmth and affection.

The writer described in detail the four fantasy fragments of the little girl about a warm stove, a fat roast goose, a beautiful Christmas tree and a loving grandmother. It was precisely under the capitalist system at that time that the poor could not realize their good wishes and ensure food and clothing.

However, this kind of fantasy is different from the absurd descriptions in fairy tales. She drew directly from real life, which was the truest reflection of the unequal reality of European capitalist society at that time. People can be seen everywhere, and stories can happen at any time.

The power of tragedy lies in tearing up beauty for people to see. The little match girl destroyed a girl's pure soul. The poor girl yearned for a beautiful situation in an instant without even the most basic food and clothing. This may be the true nature of human nature.

The writer Andersen described the bitterness and tragic fate of this weak life with her longing and disillusionment for a better situation, which enhanced the artistic appeal of the characters.

The article describes "blushing with laughter", seeing "warm stove, delicious roast goose, beautiful Christmas tree and loving grandma" in fantasy, and flying to heaven with grandma to find a life without cold, hunger and pain. The author described the beautiful fantasy of the little girl and the cold reality she faced, and mercilessly whipped the evil capitalist society.
