Sample essay: The ruthless, inhumane face of my servants, the henchmen of the feudal colonialists in the land of overflowing anger

'The overflowing anger' stands out as one of the remarkable excerpts in the novel 'Quenching the Light' - a work that vividly demonstrates the talent and realistic perception along with humanitarian sensibilities of the writer Ngô Tất Tố. In this excerpt, alongside depicting the dire fate of the farmers with compassion and pity, the author successfully portrays the ruthless, inhumane nature of my servants, the henchmen of the feudal colonialists.

First and foremost, the cruelty, inhumanity of the henchmen of the feudal colonialists is depicted through driving the farmers into a dead end with no way out. Through Ngô Tất Tố's pages, the plight of Sister Dậu is vividly portrayed with extreme poverty, having to sell dogs, sell children to pay taxes, even as Brother Dậu is in the midst of a severe illness and not granted any reprieve. This is the typical situation of the farmers before the August Revolution when they had to live in the situation of 'one ancestral hall, two graves', enduring the oppression of colonialists and the exploitation of the feudal class. My servants, the henchmen of the colonialists, impose unreasonable taxes to squeeze the strength of the people who are on the brink of extreme suffering. The colonialist feudal machinery not only doesn't care about the people's lives but also focuses on filling their own greedy hearts with cruelty, inhumanity, and heartlessness. Therefore, they not only collect taxes from the living but also apply tax collection regimes to the deceased. After completing the tax collection for Brother Dậu and receiving the husband from the gates of death, Sister Dậu faces the tax collector again when they come to collect taxes from 'Uncle Hợi' - the deceased brother-in-law who passed away last year. At that time, in dire circumstances, while her husband was sick and had to bear the burden of taxes from the deceased, Sister Dậu was pushed to a dead end with no way out.
