It's the result that the novel writers tried to look for a pattern that was suitable for the citizen culture. It's also the ideal realization of citizen's life in the fiction. Meanwhile this pattern had the close links with traditional culture. Not only the citizen culture influenced novel but also the writer who effected by classical culture influenced the novel too.
