2. 研究的基本内容、问题解决措施及方案

major research methods will include document research, contrast, and combination of theoretical research and text study.

1). document research. a document research is the process of reading, analyzing, evaluating, and summarizing scholarly materials about a specific work. the author of the thesis has looked up in many libraries some background information, including the text tess of the d#8217;urbervilles, and previous studies on tess#8217;s tragedy, the comment on alec. in the meantime, the academic database and online materials are used as the references of the study.

2). contrast. contrast is a method that is often used by writers to analyze the similarities and differences between two subjects. contrast is a form of comparison to emphasize the differences between two subjects. as a result, we can understand the two subjects better than we would do if we just examine the two individually. in this thesis, the author will make a contrast between alec and tess. for example, alec loves tess but tess#8217;s reaction is negative. in this way, the author indicates alec is a lamentable man since he can#8217;t get love.
