Zola's Literary Viewpoint Of Naturalism And It's Modern Enlightenment

The theory of Zola's naturalism has been criticized by some people for quite along time. They regard that "recorded impression in life like taking photos", "trivial living truth" take place of typification. Sociality of human is replaced by their physical quality. They also believe that Zola neglects the moral principle. This thesis based on the theoretical principle of Zola's naturalism follows the·narrative model of "sense of truth", "experience" and combines his works such as "Rowgon—Macquart in particular in his three writing periods to elaborate. The first chapter mainly discusses the true content of Zola's naturalism and explores the formation of this theory systematically from "sense of truth" and "experiencing". In chapter two, the author mainly states the thought of Zola's "non-individuality" and its historical function through research on Rougon—Macquart.
