Extended data

The Secret Garden is a children's literature written by American woman writer Francis Hodgson Burnett.

The romantic thought of secret garden, which came into being at the end of18th century and reached its peak in the first half of19th century, has always been greatly dissatisfied with the rationalism advocated by the Enlightenment and deeply worried about human conquest of nature.

Romantic writers take nature as the aesthetic object, and use imagination, exaggeration, metaphor and other writing techniques to describe the harmonious scene of mutual integration and mutual induction between man and nature, express the natural view and ecological view of harmony between man and nature, and call on human beings to return to nature through bold exaggeration, fiction and imagination.

The Secret Garden's plot is legendary and peculiar, and the novel depicts a surreal subjective world. In a wasteland in Yorkshire, animals and humans, represented by Dickon, live in harmony and are close.

The protagonists Mary and Colin are sick and eccentric because they are far away from nature, and beautiful and healthy because they return to nature. This is the best interpretation of the idea of harmony between man and nature. Their themes emphasize the integration of man and nature and express the author's hopes and ideals about the relationship between man and nature.

The author created several characters in the book, each with his own unique and distinctive personality, and the personality characteristics of these characters are relatively simple. Deacon, for example, is always gentle and kind; Martha has always been gentle; Mrs. Susan Soapy is always smart and never makes mistakes.

In this novel, contrast is widely used in characterization and environmental description. Contrast is to compare people, things and things with obvious differences or opposites, so that the two sides of the contrast are more distinct and prominent in the contrast with each other, strengthen the essential characteristics of things, and enhance the expressive force and appeal.
