Environment and Human Behaviors—Taking 'The Acorn Gatherer' as a Case Study

摘要

Human living environment interacts with human behaviors.Environment to some degree determines human behaviors which in return reshape and sustain the dynamic environment.Taking Richard Jefferies' The Acorn Gatherer as a case study,this paper makes an argument that the behaviors of the villagers in the story can be more adequately interpreted in view of the backward countryside environment,and the same is true with the author Richard Jefferies' non-interference in the omniscient third-person point of view in writing the story.It is Richard Jefferies' family environment that makes up his viewpoint of writing,reflecting his critical loving of the countryside,where lives boom and conventions are extremely followed.
