I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. / Ms. Xxx, my supervisor, without whose help and guidance the completion of this present thesis would have been impossible.

《马丁·伊登》是杰克·伦敦最有影响的作品，一则因为它具有明显的自传色彩，为我们认识、研究伦敦提供了宝贵材料，二则由于它具有很高的思想和艺术价值，标志着美国现实主义文学在本世纪初的重要发展。

本文着重分析主人公马丁·伊登死亡的原因，说明社会因素在其中所起的重要作用。第一章讲述马丁如何通过长期努力获得成功。第二章从四个方面论述马丁选择死亡的必然性：由于他在爱情和创作上的困惑、周围市侩小人态度的转变、以及他本人试图回到原属于自己的那个阶级但却最终失败，他只有选择死亡向社会抗争。第三章阐述马丁梦想的破灭，说明所谓的美国梦想是以信仰为基础，而非基于理性；是以理想为基石，而非基于现实。资产阶级个人主义思想认为个人能改变整个社会，这是具有欺骗性的，这种个人主义思想的盲目性和局限性，最终让人误入歧途。

本文从一个较新的角度分析马丁·伊登死亡的必然性，重在强调导致马丁死亡的两个主要矛盾，说明个人主义与社会之间的冲突，理想主义和现实之间的冲突。

By analyzing the characters and the theme, the paper mainly discusses the reasons for Martin Eden’s death, highlighting the role the social factors have played．Chapter One explains Martin’s long struggle for success. Chapter Two illustrates that Martin Eden’s death is inevitable. Because of his bewilderment in love and writing, the change in the attitudes of people around him and the failure of going back to the working class to which he belongs, he chooses to die. It is his only solution to the conflicts. Chapter Three focuses on Martin’s disillusionment due to the huge gap between idealism and reality. The so-called American dreams are not based on reality, but on beliefs; not on reason, but on ideals. The idea that individuals can change the society is deceptive, which will make people go astray and lead to ultimate destruction.

The present paper concerns itself with a detailed study of Martin Eden’s inevitable death. Quite different from previous researches, this paper aims to emphasize the importance of two main conflicts, highlighting the gaps between individuals and the society, between idealism and reality.
Key Words: Martin Eden, inevitability of death, American Dream, disillusionment

Introduction

（简介长度不超过2页，一级标题居中，加粗，小三号，Times New Roman字，与下文之间空1行）

The fate of Martin Eden is touching. His heart is full of passion and fortitude for its aspiration, yet his dream crumbles into dust the moment it has been realized. It is the hideous and despicable hypocrisy of society that destroys the young man’s ardent expectation, and plunges him into bewildering despair. …

Jack London was living at the period of the turning of the 20^th century, which is the so called the “Gorky of the United States”…

It is obvious that the entire portrait of Martin Eden’s story is not that intricate or complicated. Martin thrives to be a famous writer at the bottom of society. …

For the sake of getting affection of a young woman of middle class, Martin believes that he will make himself worthy of Ruth Morse’s love if he can educate himself and acquire the manners he has not learned as a seaman. …

Martin Eden considered love was pure, sane, beautiful, and no other things in the world could compare with love. He loved madly; from the first sight, he fell in love with Ruth, who was noble, sane not like the secular women. In fact, he neglected the issue, Ruth heard her parents’ advice and considered all the real aspects, she kept in mind that Martin was a sailor, no money and from the inner heart she thought Martin could not become a famous writer, even though he was intelligent and diligent. She always hoped that Martin took a job for money.

With the philosophy deeply planted in Martin’s heart, his class consciousness took form in his brain. He hated of bourgeois’ vulgar ideas. Martin was a victim of paradox, which had lead to his destination.

Chapter Three Disillusionment of American Dream

Through the analysis of the bewilderment above, it is obviously demonstrated that Martin Eden began to live for ideal, for belief. In his eyes, all things seemed to be beautiful, simple and pure. As for love, he felt Ruth was his angel; Ruth was a pure, beautiful, woman, different from those women who always show up around him. …

Realism is featured by its representation of a typical character in a typical Realists tend to aesthetically generalize the typical characters in writing, even by exaggeration. Naturalists agree with the accurate writing of realism, but are opposed to any exaggeration. …

With abundant and vivid plots, Hamlet reveals an important thought: in the later of Renaissance, the central state power was stable; the system of government was charged by the King. The King abandoned the capitalist class, arbitrarily and dictatorially, and enjoyed all the benefits. In politics, he went against the progressive measure, then the feudal force had the chance to state a comeback. The whole country was filled with foul, and each trying to cheat the other. Under this background, the capital humanists were angry.

内容提要
莎士比亚（1564-1616）生活在封建社会和资本主义社会的转折时期。在所有英国作家中，莎士比亚是世界文学史上极少数里程碑式的人物之一。他的作品也是世界文学史上最伟大的里程碑。《哈姆雷特》是莎士比亚戏剧创作中最杰出的代表，也是其戏剧艺术成熟的标志。该剧以丰富的时代内涵、生动的人物形象、复杂的矛盾冲突以及曲折多变的故事情节，给人们留下深刻的印象，吸引着他们对其不断地进行解读.

本论文旨在从人物性格特征、象征手法、矛盾冲突等方面分析《哈姆雷特》，揭示人文主义理想破灭的必然性。论文共分五个部分阐述。第一部分简要介绍作者生平、写作背景以及故事概况。第二部分详细分析剧中主人公性格特征。第三部分通过对该剧中象征手法运用的分析，反映当时不同层次身份的人物的道德立场和人生观决定他们的最终归宿。第四部分分析代表人文主义的哈姆雷特与现实的矛盾及其复仇的失败。最后一部分是论文的结论。剧中哈姆雷特与克劳狄斯的斗争是新兴资产阶级人文主义者与日趋反动的封建王权代表之间的斗争，反映了文艺复兴时期先进人物为实现美好理想向社会恶势力进行的斗争。作为人文主义者的典型代表，哈姆雷特对人类抱有美好的看法，他相信人类的智慧、高雅和力量。然而，面对罪恶的现实，他所有的人文主义理想都彻底破灭，因而只能以生命的代价换取精神上的胜利。作为时代的缩影，《哈姆雷特》揭示了人文主义理想破灭的必然性。

By an analysis of the hero’s character, symbolism and conflicts in the play, this paper aims to reveal that it is destined to fail for humanists. There are five parts in the paper: The first part introduces the background of the author and the writing and summarizes the story. The second elaborates the hero’s characters. By the observation of the symbolism, the third part reflects that different individuals represent different moral positions and views of life, which lead to their destinies. The fourth chapter examines the conflict between Hamlet, a symbol of humanism and the reality, as well as the failure of his revenge. The last part is the conclusion. The struggle between Hamlet and Claudius represents that between the emerging capital humanists and feudal reactionary force, which reflects the conflict between the advanced people and evil force in Renaissance. Being a typical representative of humanism, Hamlet has a hope for mankind, and he believes in man’s wisdom, elegance and strength. But in the face of the reality, all of his humanism is destroyed. In the end, he has to exchange his life for the spiritual victory. As the epitome of the era, Hamlet reveals that humanism is destined to be disillusioned.
