《意中人》是托马斯·哈代于1892年创作的最后一部作品,具有浓厚的主观理想色彩。小说主人公皮尔斯通终身对理想爱人的不断追寻却不断破灭,是他对绝对美的追求,而这样的意中人是尘世难找的完美的化身,有明显的唯美主义色彩,反映了艺术家皮尔斯通在追求艺术美的执著信念的驱动下,在“艾薇丝”的身上追逐着理想中不可企及的完美女性,最后无果而终,反讽了这种唯美主义无现实根基注定消失的后果。 “Italians” is Thomas Hardy in 1892, the last piece of creation, has a strong subjective idealistic color. The protagonist Pierce’s fictional pursuit of an ideal lover, which is the constant pursuit of the endless pursuit of the ideal lover, is his pursuit of absolute beauty. Such an admirer is the perfect incarnation of the worldly life, with obvious aestheticism, which reflects the artist’s pursuit of art Driven by the persistent belief of the United States, chasing after the “perfect woman” that can not be attained in “Avril Silk” ultimately ended up without fruitful irony of the consequences of the disappearance of this aestheticism.
