Literary characterization refers to the relationship between reality and art artssymbol symbol referent, so the problem is the art of thinking literary characterizationsign a deal with the relationship between reality and artistic practice. Clues to thehistory of Western art from the point of view, the concept of literary characterizationhas gone through four stages, four stages of primitive stage, the classical stage, modernand post-modern stage stage. These four stages constitute a literary characterization fourtypical patterns, each of which constitutes a model of its historical context in which thedominant, unreflective understanding of art and artistic symbol symbols reality of thereferent the relationship between thinking mechanism. Each stage of the dominant modeof characterization in understanding the art symbols and artistic symbols referentialreality show differences in history:In the original stage, literary symbols and the reality of the referent is consideredto have identity, symbols and reality are not strictly divided off. Whether it is thesymbol, or reality, are considered to be real and meaningful.In the classical stage, theatrical symbol of unity gradually differentiated out fromreality, is considered to be a realistic imitation.

At this stage, the symbol of the world and the real world toget the same again. But exactly the opposite of the same with the original stage, thereality is the same symbol virtualization.These four stages are not clear-cut, but at some stage it is not absolutely only thiskind of characterization model, but said that this characterization is the dominant mode.Western art "characterization" view showing the reason why such a transmutationclue is composed of three different reasons (or logical) caused.
