The Secret Garden is the author's own mental journey, symbolizing the spiritual journey of people in modern society. In modernist works, spiritual journey usually has no purpose and hope. However, in this novel, Burnett uses a children's story to explain the theme of modernism in another way. I have recited the descriptions of Mary, Colin and kleven, and described the absurdity of modern society: it comes from the disharmony of life, manifested in alienation, weakness, disillusionment and other forms. The protagonists in the novel have experienced different life conflicts.

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.
