As two well-known heroes of world literature, Jia baoyu and EB OHE and are typical and characteristic. Living in different nations with different family origin and social contexts, at the first glance, Baoyu and EBE OHE belong to different social group and lack similarity. After explosive research, the author of this dissertation notices astonishing characteristic similarity of them.Generally speaking, the past research focused on the weakness of EBEH OHEH and neglected his rebellious part. On the contrary, most studies on Baoyu only concentrated on his rebellious part but not his "unnecessary parts". Fortunately comparative literature offers us a broaden vision to analyze this two characters. Affected by various factors, Baoyu and EBEH OHEH exhibit tremendous tendency to be out of orientation, unavoidably they become nothing but "unnecessary man" of this sophisticated society. "To be rebellious" is not only their leading personality but unavoidable fate.'To be rebellious" provides us a new angle to experience EBEH OHEH's renewal and "to be unnecessary" offers readers a new image of Baoyu from different respect.In a word, they two are tragic heroes of world famous tragedy, their personal tragedy is also the tragedy of their personality and their society. What's more, their doom are unavoidable, thought well-educated and well-cultivated, they never converge into the main stream of society and become unnecessary. This kind of desertion and dislocation reshaped them neither into peacock or crow, they are neither accepted by the upper society nor the public, so they could do nothing but absorb in unhappiness and melancholy. Though companied by a group of sisters or maids, Baoyu is lonely spiritually; Involved in countless dinner party or dancing party, EBEH OHEH is unhappy and lonely too. So they are always indilemma and conflict which embody in the form of struggle between their inner spiritual world and outer material society. According to the author, the two reflect the problem of their time,even represent the dilemma of our whole human being. From this respect, Baoyu and EBEH OHEH are not longer two literary characters but vivid representatives of our society.
