Comparative Study On Lash Of Human Nature By Dostoevsky And Yu Hua

Dostoevsky is a famous writer in Russia in the nineteenth century. He has written many works which analyze and lash humanity deeply such as Crime and Punishment and Carla Ivan Karamazov Brothers. These works have strong sociality, practicalness, realistic meanings and humanistic feelings. Yu Hua, a Chinese avant-garde(advance guard) writer also writes many works which describe and express humanity, which has experimental meanings. However, Dostoevsky’s lash is more heavy, deep and clear. He not only digs out the darkness in humanity, but also digs the glory and purity hided behind these darkness. So Dostoevsky expresses humanity in all entirely with historical and centurial meaning. In contrast, Yu Hua’s dig is more superficial.
