• See articles from CNKI.
• To express his “twilight view of life,” he employs the architectural structure by accumulating each circumstance, each detail to strengthen the final effect—Fate (sinister, inexorable((不可阻挡的)) Fate, the tragic doom).
• Practiced architecture Living most of his life in Dorchester (southwest England)---Wessex of his novel he was very close to the English peasantry。 He was one of the important critical realistic writers, in his novels shows sympathy for the peasants in an age of decline and decay of peasantry, and at the same time shows his nostalgia for the pastoral and patriarchal mode of life.
• Tess Durbeyfield, Alec D’Urbervilles (doubtful right to it), Ange writer quotes Gloster’s speech to King Lear:
• ‘As flies to wanton(恶意) boys are we to the gods:
• Having lived most of his life among peasants, Hardy had a good knowledge of the rich condition and folkways (customs) as well as peasant’s feelings. So his descriptions of old cultural tradition are very fascinating. At times the descriptions are tinged with superstition.
• Fatalism and pessimism dominate his novels.
• He doesn’t know the real causes of their miseries, but ascribes them to the hostile, cruel, mysterious fate instead of capitalist system. So a pessimistic vein runs throughout his novels.
• The subject (according to Hardy) is the fate of a pure woman (also a symbol of the disintegration of English peasantry) (value of social document).
They kill us for their sport.
“Justice” was done, and the President of the immortals had ended his sport with Tess.’
• His description of nature is impressive.
• Nature in his novels is personified and symbolic; it plays a role as a character in the development of the plot.
• By this design he shows that human beings are only playthings/puppets of Destiny, they struggle purposelessly, helplessly form one link to another of the chain of destiny, only to be trapped by the final doom in the end. So there is a naturalistic tendency in his works. Such a notion (conception) gives his novel a high seriousness: it was as if a scene of Greek tragedy were being played out among his Wessex rustics乡下人.
