Abstract:
Doris Lessing is widely regarded as one of the most important post-war writers in England. She won numerous literary awards in her life. And the Nobel Prize for Literature she obtained in 2017 is the most praised all over the world. She got the honor at the age of 88, becoming the oldest Nobel Prize winner. There are countless scholars studying Lessing's works both at home and abroad. Foreign scholars tend to study her Marxism, Sufism and feminism while the domestic scholars more focus on her feminist issues. My article, from the human nature perspective, analyzes the experience of protagonist Ben so as to understand Lessing's interpretation on the family and human nature. When faced with the dark power, humans will show positive or negative side. First, we study Harriet and David's attitude towards children, and analyze the causes of the tragic fate of Ben in order to interpret the indifference and loneliness of contemporary humanity. Then we stand in Ben's position to study the world, to study the relationship and emotions among people and to explore the nature of human. Eventually, we combine the unique human change Lessing portrays in The Fifth Child with the other works to discuss the profound
impact on the modern society.
