After the middle class stabilized in the low position, they tore off the veil of hypocrisy, revealing a terrible and vicious face. On the one hand, it ruthlessly exploits and oppresses the working class, on the one hand, it constantly plunders overseas wealth. The relationship between people is getting more and more tense, and cold money has become the norm of social relations. In this social context, a group of people of insight began to doubt this society. Daniel Defoe, Charles Dickens, and Charlotte Bronte used their pens to continuously write books to expose and criticize Britain. The darkness and cruelty of the real society, the injustice suffered by the people at the bottom.

He believes that economic development brings more than changes in industries related to itself. , Political, military, cultural and even religious will produce a series of changes, because the social economy is the foundation, economic changes have the overall effect of mobilizing the whole body. And Zhang Lei's "The Significance of Realistic Literature Existence-A Brief Talk on Maugham's Main Works" mainly discusses himself with the story characters in the author's three novels "Blade", "The Shackles of Life" and "Moon and Six Pence" Believes that the image and spirit of the characters truly elucidate the relationship between true and evil and hypocrisy as well as personal and social alienation, show the strong conflicts between the prohibition and criminalization, civilization and anti-civilization.

Through the author's heroine Jane Eyre, everything about the status and situation of such women Generalization of unreasonable phenomena, and through Jane Eyre ’s fate and personality to pursue petty-bourgeois protests against the British society at that time, to discuss his point of view: the true vanguard is the spiritual vanguard, is reflected in the writer ’s aesthetic ideal Among the artistic expressions of freedom, resistance, exploration and innovation are the personal ethics of the writer who runs counter to the secular trend, and the continuous discovery of the future of human destiny and the possibility of life.
