The society had the great change which resulted in a lot of social problems in the late 19th and early 20th, but Hardy didn’t find the right method to solve the social problems。 He turned the tragedy of character into mysterious supernatural powers。 He thought the order of things in the universe is decided by mysterious powers and people’s lives are determined by great powers。 Hardy’s thought also has great changes with his changing experience。 At first Hardy’s opinion towards life was negative and fated。 In his opinion, fate refers to some things in our life which is already decided by god and great power, but the god can’t do anything to save the poor’s suffering。 Finally, Hardy turned to believe that life is a natural thing。 We are powerless to do anything other than what we actually do。 Included in this is that man has no power to influence the future。 Included in this is that man has no power to influence the future which is Darwin’s Evolutionism and Schopenhauer Arthur’s tragic sense。 All his change thought can express one word is that “He can’t clearly the source of causing tragedy, so he can’t find a good way to save the society, he resorted to the fatalism”。 (Sun Hongyan, Li Feng 33)。 Fatalism refers to human can’t control his fate, no matter how human society had developed; human can’t get rid of the tricks。来`自+优-尔^论:文,网www.youerw.com +QQ752018766-
