Few have heard of a medical detective named after the main character, Dr. House. Charisma Hugh Laurie reveals all the features of the character and behavior of a brilliant doctor. Gregory House is a diagnostician in one of the prestigious clinics in the USA. He takes into work only interesting cases that are not too tough for the rest of the professionals in the institution. Under his leadership, a whole team of experienced and highly qualified doctors works. The quotes from the Doctor House series are as brilliant as the idea of ​​the show itself. They reveal the hero from all sides, while creating an areola of mystery around him.
Psychological portrait of a brilliant doctor
Dr. House cannot be called a doctor in the usual sense. He does not obey the rules of the clinic, therefore he does not wear a dressing gown, constantly conflicts with the manager and treats not the patient, but the disease. Addiction to alcohol and potent drugs has become a method of combating intolerable pain.
His methods of treatment constantly border on violation of the laws of ethics and morality. The end justifies the means - he believes and is never mistaken. Dr. House's quotes are his special fad. The series is worth watching only for the sake of a colorful figure of the main character. He, like Sherlock Holmes, builds a lot of logical chains that harmoniously and filigree expose the cause-effect relationships of events.
Briefly describing the psychotype of Dr. House, you can give him the following characteristics:
- misanthrope - a person striving in every possible way to avoid human society;
- rebel - constantly resists established rules and laws;
- polyglot - knows various languages, he demonstrates knowledge of Hindi, Spanish and Chinese;
- music lover - not only listens to ingenious works, but also plays the guitar and the piano;
- the cynicism of Dr. House's sarcasm knows no bounds: it constantly devalues ​​such human feelings as love, compassion, loyalty and faith.
With all this, the protagonist is not without humanity. Dr. House, whose quotes (sarcasm prevails in them), which became cult, still remains a mystery to the viewer.
The riddle of Dr. House
The number of fans of the popular series is growing every day, despite the fact that the last season is long over. What attracts fans of a medical detective? Maybe unusual puzzles? Or the unpredictability of the plot? Although these sides are the main features of the series, the main thing that the viewer draws attention to is the sarcasm and severity of the jokes that are released on every occasion.
We can safely say that House is one of the most extraordinary and complex characters on modern television. He combines all the qualities that avert, and at the same time make him a "superhero":
- stubbornness;
- arrogance;
- ingenuity;
- talent;
- mind;
- curiosity.
Many of the questions that gave rise to the image of a genius character are addressed in the book "The riddle of Dr. House - man and the series." On its pages, the author is trying to understand what the reason for this behavior of a mad doctor lies, what psychological characteristics he can be endowed with, and how the series differs from similar medical pictures.
Dr. House's quotes reflecting his philosophy are also examined here.
Dr. House Philosophy
Many viewers of the series “House MD”, phrases and quotes from which have gained popularity all over the world, have nothing in common with each other. It is difficult to classify such a motley audience.
Dr. House's philosophy consists of many quotes that reflect the essence of his view of the world. For example, he calls all people animals, crawling on the ground, which got their brains. If you try hard, then thanks to them you can rise above primitive creatures. That's what House thinks of intelligence.
The life of a brilliant doctor is the life of a philosopher constantly hungry for knowledge, and Dr. House's quotes serve as the key to understanding his nature.
A brilliant doctor, like Socrates, is daily in search of truth. He does not take anything on faith, condemning religion as the apogee of ignorance: "Religion is a placebo (opium) for the people." With almost every believer who meets on his professional path, House is too cynical and with special sarcasm.
Dr. House: quotes about life
House, communicating with people, uses the highest degree of irony in his remarks. For example, he sarcastically indicates to a black senator that he still doesn’t get to this position, because the White House is so named because of the color of its walls.
With sarcasm, he applies to his life. Saying that human existence is meaningless, he nevertheless subordinates his every action to rational conclusions. To the replica of one of the heroines of the Eva series “Time Changes Everything,” House replies that if you do nothing, everything remains the same. His life is subordinated to the implementation of not only reasonable, but also useful actions.
Quotes about love
According to House, love is just a brain reaction to chemicals. It, like a drug, causes addiction, "inducing bliss." However, almost throughout the series, he remains lonely.
In addition, House constantly squirms about statements about love: "There is a saying that love is needed as air. So, air is still more important."
Regarding his view of the feelings and significance of human relations, you can recall the quote: "No matter what happens in your life, no matter what person you meet, you will ultimately be sitting at the computer and eating something ...".
Dr. House's quotes about love are more a recognition of the bankruptcy of the feeling itself than a condemnation of the people who succumbed to it.
Quotes about a lie
“Everybody lies” - one cannot fail to mention this quote, even if it will not be the first time. This produces a huge number of interpretations of the need for lies in the life of every person. Would a lie be a lie if not everyone knows that it is a lie? This question is a brilliant doctor constantly raises.
For the sake of saving his life, he is ready to lie about anything. However, only truth is required of patients. Once, healing a child, he urged him not to lie to his parents, although he added that he considered it right.
That's the whole Dr. House. Quotes about lies are the basis of his conclusions.
Winged quotes
No one will deny that Dr. House’s phrases “everyone lies” and “patient is an idiot” have become winged. They express the full cynicism of a recognized genius and at the same time are confirmed by each new case in his practice. Dr. House's best quotes are his statements regarding the insignificance of human principles and moral values. Someone considers this a protective mechanism, someone does not want to understand such an attitude in principle.
However, House always has a trump card in his pocket. Therefore, he reasonably considers himself right in everything. He says: “Am I right? Or ... am I right? ” An irreplaceable genius does not bother to repeat that everyone around is stupid. In most cases, this happens when he persuades patients to take certain treatments to save their lives. However, sometimes he does this because he cannot make unreasonable and baseless advice on the part of people.
Lessons from cynicism from Dr. House
Everyone who watched the series can recall that House often speaks cynically about children, love, religion and moral principles. An example is a patient who could not understand why she is not losing weight, although she runs 10 miles a day. After an ultrasound, a brilliant doctor tells her that she has a parasite. “Can I get rid of him?” The patient asks. “Legally - except in a couple of states,” the cynical doctor’s answer sounds.
And after a 5-minute speech of the musician, who told why he, like House, has no wife, children and other human components of happiness, the doctor’s sarcasm exceeds expectations - “Well, for this, microwave ovens are created” (about his wife).
The cynicism in the series is top notch. House needs to treat people like this, because otherwise its gift will weaken accurately and quickly to guess the causes of serious illnesses for its patients. He needs to penetrate into the very essence of man’s dirty secrets. This greatly helps in the diagnosis.
Either help live, or die. Not all at once. This principle of the doctor especially shows how cynical he has become over the years of severe pain in the leg and communication with those who are burdened with morality.
TV series fans
Dr. House fans were slightly disappointed that the series ended in season 8. However, the creators of the picture explained why they had to finish the project. House never leaves the party last. “It’s better to leave when the atmosphere of mystery is still preserved,” they said.
Although the decision to end the show was painful, even the ending immensely pleased fans of the medical detective. According to many reviews, the “House team” gave the world the most emotional story and the most irresistible hero that could be seen on television.
It is worth mentioning that in just 4 years since the appearance of the series, his audience exceeded 81 million viewers, and Dr. House's quotes spread around the world in the form of highly intellectual aphorisms. The show inspired a group of developers to create a computer game based on it.
