| Virginia Woolf and David Herbert Lawrence,as the famous British writers in the early 20thcentury,have experienced the impact of the great changes in the real world on people’s survival and life,which is also more or less reflected in the families in their novels.Woolf’s attention to spirit in her novels is a fact that is obvious to us all.Lawrence’s novels more reflect the fact that people gradually degenerate into machines in the process of industrial society,which suppresses people’s spirit.This thesis will analyze and study the representative works,To the Lighthouse and Sons and Lovers,of these two writers from the perspective of family writing,focusing on the important influence of family relations on children’s growth and the spiritual alienation caused by unequal love in family.After the two World Wars,people slowly tend to resort to looking at things from a three-dimensional perspective of space.Space no longer appears in the novel simply as the background of characters and events,but is constantly endowed with various new cultural connotations.Space carries a myriad of relations between people,including a variety of human life.As an important category in spatial composition,family is not only a part of space,but also a miniature of space.To explore family space from the perspective of family writing is an important way to understand social space.Through the analysis of the similarities and differences in the family relations in the two works,this thesis attempts to explain comprehensively that regardless of the class,the identity,and the family background,the unbalanced family relations will always lead to the unsound love in the growth of children,thus having a lifelong impact on children.As a small cell of society,a core component of education,the family bears the important tasks of cultivating social successors.Therefore,it is crucial to pay attention to the influence of family relations on children’s growth. |
