About a month the narrator didn’t think about that sad
business but one day he suddenly met Strickland. The narrator didn’t pay
attention to him, but Strickland was very glad and followed him. They didn’t
speak much and the narrator thought how to get rid of him and couldn’t do it.
Strickland was in a perfect mood and had an aim to talk. So they go to the
narrator’s flat where Strickland told a real story of him and Blanche’s
relationship and suggested to show his paintings. The narrator agreed and was
deeply impressed; he didn’t think that Strickland was so genius.
After that, Strickland left France and the narrator
didn’t see him anymore. But he visited Tahiti where he knew the rest
information about Strickland till his death. He met with a captain Nichols who had knew
Strickland and told many interesting facts. They got acquainted in Marseille
and became like friends, help each other to survive. They searched for a work,
for food and for a place to sleep. Strickland waited a ship to go Tahiti because
he thought and dreamed that it would be better there and Nichols was of the
same opinion. They were employed to the ship going to Australia.
In Tahiti Strickland seemed to find himself, he
created a family and had two children. Unfortunately one child died in infancy.
He worked hard and continued painting. He was happy and full of life but once
he found that had leprosy. His wife didn’t left him and they went to live in
the forest in a small house where he painted his last works of arts. When
Strickland died, his wife burnt the house and the masterpiece of all his life
was damaged. During his life he wasn’t rich and popular and only with his death
he became successful and his paintings became valuable masterpieces.
Good!
