Anti-Modernism through Symbolism in the Return of the Native
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Sciences and Education - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Thomas Hardy has shown his style in The Return of the Native distinctively in a way that most researchers have emphasized this work as Hardy's most instinctive mode as a figurative not analytic writer since his most habitual method as a writer is symbolism, not argument. Though Hardy is considered a modernist poet and writer related to his style, technique, kind of narration, and literary approach, he seems to be subtly anti-modernist in his sixth novel The Return of the Native due to his alignment with his characters that resemble symbolically anti-modernist point of view. Hardy's bias against modernism is obvious through his consciousness of the shortcomings of modernism which is described by his statement "the ache of modernism".
