First of all, humanitarianism and democracy are still important ideological weapons for writers. In the first half of the 20th century, "Roland Doctrine" was the basic position of realistic writers. They lashed out at the inhuman social reality, criticized the alienation of people by society, condemned the cruelty of rulers and the atrocities of fascism, sympathized with the insulted and damaged lower class people, sympathized with the proletarian revolution, and yearned for a better future without oppression. However, due to "fraternity" as the starting point and destination, advocating "love can save everything" and taking equality between the rich and the poor as the ultimate goal, it essentially inherited the tradition of19th century and failed to reach a new height. However, there is also a spirit of exploration. For example, in the 1920s and 1930s, a group of writers observed the social reality from the viewpoint of class struggle or socialist ideology, and tried to analyze the problem from a brand-new and contemporary perspective. After 1950s, humanitarianism in realistic literature showed revolutionary tendency. The working people in the works are no longer little people at the mercy of fate, but "strong people" who dare to fight against evil forces.
Secondly, writers always insist on authenticity, which is the basic principle of realistic literary creation. This paper takes the realistic, concrete and ever-changing human spiritual world and life experience as the description object, discusses the details of life from the relationship between people and the surrounding environment, and makes a real aesthetic reflection. They look at the complex and cruel reality with great enthusiasm and critical eyes, show the development process of the objective world historically, and try to answer the problem of "always existing but unable to solve" by artistic generalization of characters' personalities, destinies and environments, and convincingly reveal the irreversible decline trend of the old system and old life. Compared with19th century realism, century realism has gone a step further in reflecting the timeliness of reality and refining the political nature of the theme. Many works are often written after or even before the events described. Moreover, in reflecting the reality, he has placed a desire to change the reality, and the political color of his works is very distinct. Some also directly take major political events as the theme to show the political activities of famous politicians.
Third, the description pays attention to introversion and subjectivity, and the artistic form is eclectic and inclusive. "Digging the inner century" is a trend of European and American literature and aesthetics in the 20th century. The sensational effect caused by various schools of modernism in expressing subjective truth makes realistic literature cause artistic introspection and self-adjustment. The great difference between realism in the 20th century and traditional realism lies in highlighting the description of subjective feelings and spiritual exploration of characters. The writer constantly innovates in synthesis, which not only combines the objective realism of naturalism, but also absorbs the artistic skills of modernism such as symbolism and stream of consciousness. Such as inner monologues and dream descriptions. Subconscious expression, sexual psychological description, time sequence inversion, absurd deformation, multi-angle plot development and multi-level structure form. These techniques, which were not adopted or even rejected in traditional realism, became commonplace in realistic works in the twentieth century.
Fourthly, characterization emphasizes the multiplicity of personality and downplays the description of typical personality. The loss of rational belief is a basic feature of western culture in the 20th century. Realistic writers always face life, the complicated social life and the vagaries of the world in the 20th century. In the process of investigation and analysis, they strengthened their objective and pragmatic stance and alienated or abandoned their idealized and simplified way of thinking. Therefore, in their works, the tall and perfect heroes gradually disappear, and the protagonists who take their place can be roughly divided into two categories. One is a positive person, who has persistent pursuit of life goals and a high sense of social responsibility, but his inner world is complex, with some bright spots and many noble and even immoral ideological qualities. The other is ordinary people with defects and weaknesses, who are low-energy, clumsy, fragile and sometimes timid; A little confused about life, maybe a little cynical; But they are good people. They don't do evil or harm the interests of others. On the contrary, they have actually done a lot of neglected and despised things that are beneficial to society. The world is made of them.
