Marguerite Duras is no doubt the most influential, charming authoress with the strongest individuation in the 20th century. She is a courageous woman to love and hate. She is always in despair, but never give up the opposability, gain the happiness from the opposability and endow the life with absolute value. She has once said that writing is "a kind of death" , but she has been always looking for the stalwart life force and the infinite creativity in the death. She is an author, still has never served art for art, but took part in various social and politic activities with an active intervention and a great passion. Her novel, drama,film, critique and essay are an unique view in the 20th century world literature, moreover, her productions syncretize the style and feature of the novel, the circumstance of the drama, the scene of the film and the color of the music. Duras, the rebel that never cling to the rule, never satisfied with the tradition, but unswervingly in pursuit of the specialties: the particular human experience and the particular art expression. The disputability and the multiformity is that the eternal charm of Duras. Her novel as her personality always bring us freshness and energy. It is very difficult to classify Duras to any genre or any rule. Some people say she is the representation of "antiroman" , some people say she is the avant-courier of feminism, and the others say she is an existentialism author. However she is she, the unique Duras. Perhaps many people have studied Duras, but as I know, few refer to the relationship between her and the tendency of the existentialism. In my opinion, if the literature text of Duras is anatomized with existentialism as the cut-in point, it will help us to understand more clearly and more profoundly the concept and the mechanism of the text. After dissertating in the rough the relation between Duras and the existentialism trend of thought and the existentialism author, emphasize on "Existence precedes essence" , "spot" , " freedom" and "intentism" the four aspects to analyse the tendency of the existentialism in the production and the writing concept of Duras. During the analyse, giving priority to unscrambling the text, combining it with the writing concept of the author, the biography, interviewing and the datum of other existentialism authors. To clarify the point of view of the text with abundant and accurate materials doing my best.
