托马斯·哈代是英国近代最杰出的诗人、小说家,其作品善于营造故事的整体氛围,同时又极其善于搅乱这种氛围,制造剧烈的矛盾。从历时性和共时性两个层面来看,哈代清醒地认识到了时代与环境对于人物的命运的影响。从文学的角度来看,似乎故事中的种种悲剧结局具有一定的夸张性与偶然性,但是若是身处于那个“世纪末”的环境与洪流之中,这样的“悲歌”绝非是一种偶然,它在现实生活中具有理性的依据。 Thomas Hardy is one of the most outstanding poets and novelists in modern England. His works are good at creating the overall atmosphere of the story and at the same time are extremely good at disrupting this atmosphere and creating violent contradictions. Hardy from the diachronic and synchronic two aspects, Hardy clearly aware of the impact of the times and the environment on the fate of the characters. From a literary point of view, it seems that the various tragic endings in the story have some exaggeration and contingency. However, if they are in the environment and flood of the “end of the century,” such a “sad song” is by no means a Occasionally, it has a rational basis in real life.
