Summary "比目魚" by Aiyuezhuren is a dramatic narrative likely written in the late 19th century. The work explores themes of love, betrayal, and supernatural elements, centering around the couple 譚楚玉 and 劉藐姑, who face dire circumstances that lead to their tragic deaths. It intricately navigates the interplay between human emotions and societal pressures, revealing how personal desires conflict with external expectations. The opening of the story sets a tumultuous tone as it introduces 譚楚玉 and 劉藐姑, a couple driven to despair by societal pressures, resulting in their attempted suicide by drowning. Their tragic fate ignites the anger of the community against the wealthy and corrupt figure, 錢萬貫, who is blamed for their demise. The narrative unfolds with characters expressing their vengeance and a tale woven through intense emotions, accusations, and supernatural elements, hinting at themes of justice intertwined with divine intervention as the couple's spirits are not fully at rest. This dramatic start establishes a complex world where personal tragedy resonates with the larger social fabric. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
