In fact, because this top-down reform was extremely deceptive, farmers lost their land as a result of the reform and were actually still dependent on their landlords. The struggle between various social groups has become more intense and clear. As a realist writer with a keen observation of society, Turgenev felt that "there is malaise everywhere, the inaccessible 'mud' and poverty are a sad sight." He cared about the motherland, but could not find the right way out, and he had a strong pessimism. His thoughts were full of depression and contradictions. When he read Schopenhauer's works, he once had the idea of ​​​​escaping into the ivory tower.

"Genius" is Dreiser's masterpiece. It accuses the destruction of art by capitalist society through the degradation of a young painter. The life experience of the protagonist Eugene Vitra puts forward the relationship between artists - that is, people with special geniuses - and life, and society, and how to reconcile the contradiction between the special sensitivity and special needs of geniuses and the orthodox norms of society. "An American Tragedy" makes a strong and painful indictment of capitalist society through the emergence and disillusionment of Clyde's "American Dream", the formation and development of his egoistic outlook on life and hedonistic thoughts, and his depression, struggle, degradation and destruction. This tragedy is not so much a tragedy of personality and humanity as it is a tragedy of an era and country based on egoism.
