3. Naturalism: Really? 19? The literary trend of thought, which rose in France in the late 20th century and later spread to European and American countries, is a literary trend of thought and school that rose from critical realism. Its characteristics are as follows: first, it emphasizes writing truth and reappearing nature, including nature and human society, without emphasizing typicality. The second is to emphasize objectivity, requiring writers not to intervene, not to make value judgments, but only to be anatomists. Thirdly, it emphasizes the scientific nature, that is, the laws of nature, and holds that human character, desire and behavior are all dominated by biological laws, especially genetic laws. On the one hand, it rejects subjective factors such as romantic imagination, exaggeration and lyricism, on the other hand, it despises the typical principle of realism, pursues absolute objectivity, advocates shooting the superficial phenomena of real life, and tries to explain human and social life with natural laws, especially physiology and genetics, so it cannot reflect the essence of life. The founders and representative writers of naturalism theory are Zola of France and the Gungel brothers.

4. Absurd drama: an anti-traditional drama school that rose in France in the 1950s. Absurd playwrights advocate pure drama and grasp the world through metaphor. They give up the conflict between image-building and drama, and express the ugliness and horror of reality, the pain and despair of life with fragmented stage intuitive scenes, weird props, upside-down dialogues and chaotic thinking, thus achieving an abstract absurd effect. Representative writers include Younescu, Beckett and others.
