throw away the tin drum

Everyone needs a tin drum to knock out the good wishes in the depths of their souls. Oscar did not give up his life because of the tin drum. The drum was his only companion, his comrade in his struggle against chaotic reality. In any case he could not lose the tin drum. His scream is also an expression of his heart, a weapon to fight against the world. Everyone's soul is lonely. On the surface, the relationship between people is complicated, but everyone's heart is lonely. From Oscar's grandmother to Oscar himself, the whole family and neighbors, and even the people of Danzig, they are blindly lonely at heart. However, these people are still living blindly and cowardly, and can only live by satisfying their desires and blindly following the ruling class or the powerful. Only Oscar is still fighting and venting for the light in his heart, and there is a lot of sadness that everyone is drunk and I wake up alone. In my opinion, Oscar's loneliness and sorrow are far more profound than others. Although he refused to grow up at the risk of his life, he also experienced adult life experiences, he also fell in love, worked, had a son, and even experienced death after deciding to grow up, and then reborn. Life is so chaotic that no one can refuse it. But we can't give up the dreams in our hearts, we should carry our tin drums and keep the pure land deep in our hearts.
Matzerath's death seems to have something to do with Oscar, as inadvertently as strangling the lice on the Kalmyks. After a while, I realized that Oscar's mother and biological father's death also had an ambiguous relationship with him. It was Oscar's fight against them, and it seemed to be a victory, but it was also a tragic victory. Because ants will not change their ignorance and indifference because of changes in the environment. Whether it was before or after the war, the people of Danzig have not changed. They can welcome the fascists in Germany, and they can also get carnal satisfaction from the Soviet soldiers. Those deaths are more worthy of our contemplation than their original grief. Those indifferent and numb funerals only allow readers to read the grief of human beings, not the grief of the death of the dead.
Everyone else can adapt to changes in the environment, only Oscar needs to focus on other places than the surrounding environment. The people there are numb and blind, and have no spirit of self-thinking at all. Such an empty soul is still empty, and a lonely heart is still alone. This work shows us that the lonely and sad soul has not changed after the storm, just like the original sadness. So I hope that every soul can find its own tin drum and drum for itself. And I want every soul to be its own savior, throw away the tin drum.
