Thomas Hardy is an important novelist of England in the end of 19th century to the 20th century. This thesis studies the multiformity of Thomas Hardy's writing and it's meaning.The multiformity of Thomas Hardy's writing has been recognized by the academic circles from China to Peru .In his novels, the sharply different thoughts or words of two aspects were always interlocked together. He juxtaposited the nature's sons and the changeable modern heros, and women which has double characters in his novels were completed more successful. Hardy put the symbol art and the strength of tragedy the biography element the folklore and the romantism together with the realism. In his upper novels , he revealed the psychical duality of people more than in his early novels. People always look Hardy as a pessimistist or look this duality as the contrast art only ,however, the author of this thesis does not agree with these argumentBy analyzing the major novels of Hardy, the author tries studying the variously multidimensional duality of the character and symbol, the language and idea , and of the writer Hardy himself. And tries going a step further to look the multidimensional duality here as not only the contrast of the novel's form, but also the inherent constitution of Hardy's multiformity, and the embodiment of his modernity.
