P 14-KIM TRỌNG VÀ THUÝ KIỀU ĐOÀN TỤ-KIM TRONG AND THUY KIEU "REUNITE"

In Nguyen Du's "The Tale of Kieu", the reunion between Thuy Kieu and Kim Trong took place after 15 years of Kieu's wandering, but did not bring complete happiness to the two characters. Although Kieu's whole family happily held a reunion party, Kieu's mood was still tragic. When Thuy Van proposed marriage for Kieu and Kim Trong, Kieu firmly refused, claiming that she had experienced much pain and was no longer worthy of the love she had before. Kieu emphasized that "virginity is worth a thousand gold pieces", showing that she did not want to trade her purity for a married life that she had abandoned. While Kim Trong still kept his love for Kieu intact, she felt the humiliation and suffering from her wandering past that could not be erased. The pain in Kieu's soul was not simply a love story, but also reflected the injustice in feudal society towards women. The ending of the work is not a happy ending, but a reflection of Kieu's tragedy, causing her to live in a form full of painful memories. TM.
