As one of representative urban novels, The amazing son in law the Charismatic Charlie Wade catches many readers’ eyes since it’s published on various platforms. Some readers can’t help waiting for its update and propose lots of questions on it, saying that they are addicted to the plots. I believe that the plot design is so common that most people read similar ones in other novels, then why does such novels always keep popularity among readers? Two reasons are supplied here and you are welcome to leave other opinions if you think about it more deeply.
One the one hand, the story told by this novel is like a mirror of life, from which readers see a cruel truth behind the reality. In this novel, Charlie Wade is a live-in son of the Wilson family who is despised by almost all of the members except his wife due to poverty, although he is very cautious and diligent, taking on all of the housework actively besides his own work. Charlie’s experience reminds readers of the fact that the poor are often looked down upon by others in society while wealth seems to be the only standard to evaluate a person, which reflects some people’s twisted values. In a materialistic society, people put wealth at the first priority, which means they could give up anything for wealth when they face such a choice. If all citizens would like to sacrifice anything for interests, then where should social morality go?
On the other hand, plots of this novel online show a turn which never happens in reality, which realizes readers’ dream of revenging and letting those people who have mocked him feel guilty to some extent. Charlie’s true position is a son of the wealthy, therefore he can inherit a great deal of fortune and totally change his position in the Wilson family. Of course, being a billionaire, Charlie suddenly wins all people’s respect and they begin to flatter him. Most readers hope to have such an opportunity for revenge, there is no doubt that no better ways to revenge than letting those individuals who despised you beg for your mercy and help them in emergencies someday.
Therefore, if you are lucky enough to be successful and wealthy, please don’t look upon others who are still struggling for a better future because they may be just not as lucky as you. Just as what is said in The great Gatsby, whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.
