What is the summary of a little incident by lu hsun?

Answer 1

During our Literature class, one of the most catchy stories that had a great impact on me was "A Little Incident" by Lu Xun. It's somehow a great work of art. It may be light to read but it depicts a wide range of ideas - from internal conflict to social problems. It is something that made Lu Xun a classic author.

The story took place in a little town one breezy day. The characters include the "I" (the one who narrated the story), the rickshaw puller, the old woman and the police officer. The "I" in the story was the one who narrated the events in chronological order. He was the one who experienced the internal conflict. He was, for me, insensitive and inconsiderate for the feelings of the old woman. Even if he saw the incident that dragged the old woman on all fours, he showed her no mercy. Instead, he ordered the rickshaw puller to continue what they were doing. He is both the protagonist and the antagonist in the story since he experienced internal conflict after the incident. The rickshaw puller, however, was the one who showed care and concern for the old woman. he showed sympathy and was able to help the woman made her way to safety. He showed concern even if his mere act would mean disobedience to "I", his master in the story. The old woman was the one dragged by the rickshaw. He stumbled on all fours and had her clothes torn. Just like the old woman, the police played only a minor role in the story. Quite insignificant, he just approached "I" in the end of the story. The story was told in first person major point of view. The "I" isn't yet clear if it refers to the author or not but it somehow used the pronoun "I" as someone who narrated the story. Lu Xun's masterpiece was of depressing general mood. I felt quite moved by the main character when he realized the mistake he had done. I feel sorry for the old woman because she felt the ungrace of the "I". The incident also hurt her and to think about it, she's old. She's probably weak by the years that had gone by. the story also holds much symbolism. One of these is the breeze. At the start of the story, the breeze was strongly gushing. Butt at the end of the story, when the main character realized a lesson from the incident, the breeze finally ceased. I came up with the idea that the breeze signifies the coldness of heart of the main character. When he came up with his realization after the incident, he was moved by the act of kindness of the rickshaw puller. He knew deep inside there lies a man like that of the rickshaw puller -kind and tender-hearted but just slept because of the ungraces he faced throughout the years of political and social matters governing their locale. The "I" himself is a symbol. He is somewhat referred to as someone who holds a high position, a general or government official perhaps. I bet he symbolizes supremacy in the society. He reflects those who are above the social pyramid where masses are placed down under. Also, in countries like China, that time, men are considered superior to women. The "I" could have been the epitome of power and position for the story. The rickshaw puller signifies the masses who are working hard. As we can observe, he works for the "I'. We can draw the conclusion that even if the elite had the riches, they still need the manpower of the masses to make their visions real. They need the poor to move for them for without these people below, no one will do the move for them. They just kept orders but the one who makes the social routine alive are those who live below their class. The old woman however, symbolized those who are helplessly oppressed. Even if they want to stand and move ahead of their lives, they just couldn't because they lack the capacity to do so. They hunger for grace that only those who are also poor can give.

The theme of the story for me is that kindness lies in everyone's heart. it's just a matter of waking it up. This story is a light read but contains a lot of message not only about grace but as well as the truth in the social status of the people within a nation. Nice job and two thumbs up for Lu Xun.
