19世纪英国杰出的批判现实主义作家托马斯·哈代的长篇小说代表作《还乡》中,主人公的悲剧给人以心灵的震撼。这一悲剧主要反映了资本主义生产方式进入农村后造成的不幸和灾难。《还乡》标志着哈代小说创作的一个转折点。在这部小说里,我们看到了哈代在后来的悲剧小说中得到进一步发展的思想,即无法控制的外部力量和内心冲动决定着个人命运,并造成悲剧。他的作品承上启下,既继承了英国批判现实主义的优秀传统,也为二十世纪的英国文学开拓了道路。哈代利用小说公然揭起反抗一切社会礼法的旗帜,掀起一股推翻一切“神圣道德”的风潮。 Nineteenth Century Britain’s outstanding critical realism writer Thomas Hardy’s novel “homecoming”, the hero’s tragedy gives the soul shock. This tragedy mainly reflects the misfortunes and disasters caused by the capitalist mode of production entering rural areas. Returning Homeland marks a turning point in Hardy’s novel creation. In this novel, we see Hardy’s idea of ​​further development in later tragedies, in which uncontrollable external forces and inner impulses determine the fate of individuals and lead to tragedies. Inspired by his fine tradition of British critical realism, his work also opened the way to British literature in the twentieth century. Hardy used the novel to openly expose the banner of resistance to all social laws and regulations and set off a wave of overthrowing all “sacred moralities.”
