问题 Some critics believe that the transitional writer Thomas Hardy is emotionally traditional and intellectually advanced. How do you understand this idea?

选项

答案A. On the one hand, in his Wessex novels, there is an apparent nostalgic touch in his description of the simple and beautiful though primitive rural life, which was gradually declining and disappearing as England marched into an industrial country. And with those traditional characters he is always sympathetic. B. On the other hand, the immense impact of scientific discoveries and modern philosophic thoughts upon the man is quite obvious. C. In his works, man is shown inevitably bound by his own inherent nature and hereditary traits which prompt him to go and search for some specific happiness or success and set him in conflict with the environment. D. Though Naturalism seems to have played an important part in Hardy’ s works, there is also bitter and sharp criticism and even open challenge of the irrational, hypocritical and unfair Victorian institutions, conventions and morals which strangle the individual will and destroy natural human emotions and relationships. The conflicts between the traditional and the modern, between the old rural value of respectability and honesty and the new utilitarian commercialism, between the old, false social moral and the natural human passion, etc. are all closely set in a realistic background true to the very lime and use very place.
