Svetlana Alexievich is known for the winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2015.Thereafter,Researchers mainly focus on the polyphonic and oral dictation,yet pay little attention to the thoughts which her works imply.The humanity thoughts of her works were systematically elaborated and studied in this paper,with human nature as the main line.Humanity is a profound problem of psychology,philosophy,and ethics.Researchers can study it from perspectives,and human nature is also a focus of literature scholars.Therefore,the research and discussion on human nature always exist since ancient times.Svetlana Alexievich 's works involved major events such as the war,the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and the collapse of the Soviet Union.A great writer shall be able to extract something of the human nature from the social events.she is just this kind of writer.she always clings to the endless and countless truth of human nature.And this essay will take us,from following aspects,to discover the humanity values in the works of Svetlana Alexievich: the authenticity of human nature,the dissimilation of human nature,the dilemma of human nature,the unique writing style.The chapter 1: the authenticity of human nature.The authenticity,the key character of human nature,makes people concern about their inherent nature and listen to their inner voices,instead of y ielding to external pressures.Such as the female soldiers and the children created by the writer,even t hough they lived in the disaster,they never gave up their pursuit of inherent nature,which is the purs uit of beauty and happiness.The pursuit of inherent nature not only can give the courage to face the l ife,but also can become the indispensable dimensionality of a whole man.The authenticity includes empathic caring in addition to self-interest.Empathic caring is that when you see someone in deep tr ouble,you feel sympathy and are strongly motivated to help them.why?Empathic caring is a combin ation of self interest and altruism,and conforms to our internal morals.The chapter 2: the dissimilation of human nature.It has different forms of expressions,and chapter 2 mainly targets on the inner and outer dissimilation of humans.Why does human nature alter and how to revert? The dissimilation of human nature is ascribed to external factors and internal causes.One is the external cause of such important historical events in society as wars,Chernobyl,and social reforms,and the other,the internal cause,refers to the differences between the nature and actual existence.Therefore,not only do people need to adapt to the development of human nature,but also inspect themselves and cultivate personal moral character.The chapter 3: the dilemma of human nature.The generation of the Soviet Union experiences an influential social change.After the social reform,their Red Faith have been challenged and even delayed by people in new era and the dilemma occurred.Thus,they try hard to struggle out of the dilemma by self-salvation or religious salvation.Yet,it's almost impossible for them,without spiritual belongings,to survive in the dilemma.In the contrast,does the freedom people in new era pursue indeed relieve them?After the total repudiation of the old times,people are crazy about the venality,At last,they found that the freedom they pursue was fallacious.It was the freedom to escape.The chapter 4:The unique writing style of her theme of human nature.The unique writing style of her theme of human nature is first shown in the use of polyphony techniques.Through the vocalization of many small characters,a humanistic view of events is formed,and complex humanity is displayed in many voices.Secondly,to express bluntly is to respect oral dictation and to express people's thinking about human nature through straightforward expressions.She takes the feelings of intellectuals,stands in the people's position,and introspects about people's propaganda education and physical disciplined discourse,and calls for respect for individual values.Ultimately,the humanism has been throughout all the works of Svetlana Alexievich,which does stress the development of humanity.
