The history of human homosexuality is very long,which can be traced back to ancient Greek and Roman times,and the history of homosexual literature writing is relatively long.Especially since modern times,in different countries,there are different representative writers,different representative works,different writing ideas,different aesthetic styles,different art paradigms.The writer’s subject consciousness,aesthetic perception,narrative method and expression form are all different,with various colors.The paper takes Mari Mori,Mishima Yukio and Oscar Wilde as research objects to explore their representative works of homosexual novels.This paper analyzes the deep reasons why these three writers,who are both writers of homosexual novels,have created three images of homosexual people with different faces,so as to analyze the aesthetic characteristics of the homosexual novels represented by these three authors.The paper is divided into four parts,the introduction part mainly introduces the creation experience and practice of Mari Mori,Mishima Yukio and Oscar Wilde,combs,analyzes and judges the homosexual representative works of the three writers:Lovers of the Forest,I Won’t Go on Sunday,The Withered Leaves of Bed(Mari Mori),Confessions of a Mask(Mishima Yukio),The Picture of Dorian Gray(Oscar Wilde),including the academic research status,research methods and research problems of the three writers,so as to analyze the feasibility,necessity,significance and value of this thesis.The first chapter explains and analyzes the main factors of the three writers’ novels with homosexuality as the theme,and probes into them from their own experience and cultural influence.Mishima Yukio and Oscar Wilde’s sexual fallacy in their childhood led to their implicit and explicit homosexual tendencies.Homosexual tendencies and consciousness are the important reasons for shaping homosexual lovers in their novels.Mari Mori ’s same-sex lover depicted in his works is undeniable that the shadow of father Ogai Mori exists.For her father,he seems to have established a high standard of learning and art,maintaining a pure and passionate person,a deep love person who is deeply attached to his heart.The author believes that Mari Mori’s affection for her father Ogai Mori is more of a kind of love and admiration,so she can’t simply and generally interpret the same-sex lovers in her works as the result of her father’s complex.The second chapter analyzes three gay male portraits written by Mari Mori,Mishima Yukio and Oscar Wilde.In the novel,the three writers do not single and model the homosexual characters.They portray the characters of middle-aged men of French origin,American teenagers of Japan,beautiful men of Greek style and gentlemen of British style respectively.At the same time,from the perspective of gender,whether it is female writer Mari Mor,male writer Yukio Mishima or Oscar Wilde,they use the male characters in the same-sex partners(such as Yitong’s Lovers of the Forest,Huijun’s Forbidden Color and Lord Henry’s The Picture of Dorian Gray)in their novels.The male characters with masculinity in the same-sex partners are called No.1 and No.0 from the perspective of feminism,his subconscious also implies his examination and judgment of the same-sex partner.This judgment switches between the same-sex partner and the female characters,forming the No.1figure’s view of feminism,thus shaping different female images: the foil type female,the ugly type female,the bubble type female.Why does the author shape these three types of women What about sex roles? Do the three kinds of female figures mean that the female images have been simplified,flat and patterned,or do they imply different female consciousness and views of the authors?In Mari Mori’s novels,women are stigmatized and hallucinated,focusing on male love,aiming to emphasize women’s brave pursuit of love,but women can’t regard love as the whole of their lives,so they should keep their self and independence;in Mishima Yukio novels,women’s relative weakness reflects the independence and truth of male characters;in Oscar Wilde’s eyes,women are jealous and vanity.In a sense,the female images implied in the three homosexual novels reveal the author’s female concept and consciousness,which in turn further reveals the author’s main reason for choosing the theme of homosexual creation.The third chapter focuses on the aesthetic implication of Homosexual Novels,analyzes the value of creating three faces in homosexual novels,and further analyzes the beauty of images,space and art.The three writers arranged and set up different images in the novel,such as the animal image of Mari Mori’s,the death image of Mishima Yukio and the flower image of Oscar Wilde,which not only promoted the transformation and development between the plot and the plot,implied the fate of the characters,but also reflected the unique aesthetic meaning of homosexual characters in the beauty of the image.As a space scene,forests,bars,wars,salons and roads,on the one hand,provide a specific cultural space for shaping homosexuals.On the other hand,it reflects the author’s intention of creating homosexual characters.Animal image,death image and flower image are respectively linked with the forest,bar,war,salon and road in the beauty of space,so as to present the creation idea of the three authors art first.This paper uses the method of text analysis and comparative research to explore the era background of three authors,Mari Mori,Mishima Yukio and Oscar Wilde,as well as the literature and political movement at that time at home and abroad,and the analysis and comparison of dynamic nature.The three authors’ writing about homosexuality think that: all three of them take homosexuality as the theme of novel creation,and in a macro sense,all involve homosexuality to the archetype of narcissistic characters in ancient Greece,Narcissus showed different faces in microcosmic,which was not only related to the author’s own experiences(French complex,World War II,Irish national character),but also related to cultural factors(Japanese traditional eroticism,Greek classical culture,aestheticism).Through the analysis,grasp the characteristics of the three homosexual faces created by the three authors,explore the three portraits of homosexual faces in the comparison,show the pursuit of homogeneity and uniqueness,and understand the aesthetic value and significance of homosexual literature writing as a whole.
