论哈代综合悲剧观的体现和形成原因
摘 要：托马斯哈代是19世纪英国著名的小说家，哈代中后期的小说带有浓重的悲剧色彩，因此哈代被誉为“悲剧之父”。 他对资本主义文明的发展采取了坚决批判的态度。在19世纪中叶，资本主义侵入农村，资本主义机器文明的侵入致使农村大量的手工业者面临破产的境界。哈代亲眼目睹了这一切，作为一个人道主义者，哈代想要找到一条出来解决这一情况，但由于时代和自身的局限性，哈代并没有找到解决办法，他接受了达尔文的进化论以及叔本华的社会进化论，并从中形成了自己的理论---向善论，在哈代这一系列的探索中，哈代逐渐形成了自己的悲剧观，在哈代的小说《苔丝》中，这种悲剧色彩尤为明显。本文旨在通过对苔丝悲剧命运的解析，来阐述哈代的综合悲剧观以及深入探讨分析哈代的综合悲剧观形成的原因，以及其具体表现。
