rupted the Hadleyburg, there is a preliminary expression of fatalism in the figure of the Richards. And the idea of fatalism affected his later creation of another novel. That was The Mysterious Stranger. In the Man that Corrupted the Hadleyburg, Mark Twain held the view that God controlled everything and man could not dominate their destiny. Based on fatalism, he developed a sense of nihilism in The Mysterious Stranger. He believed that man was just a form to carry energy. All is a dream, and everything does not exit except the empty space. It is evident that in his later life, Twain’s mind is filled with pessimism and despair, so do his works. 2 Effects to later writers Mark Twain’s pessimism not only affected his later writing, but also had a profound effect on later writers. In the late of 19th century, there was a moral wasteland caused by the uncontrolled material and political development in America. Some thinkers and writers, therefore, became pessimistic to American society just as Mark Twain. Naturalism was transplanted from France to the USA in the last ten years of 19th century. And it developed to a mainstream in American literature by the middle of 20th century. Vernon Parrington ever summed up six standards of naturalistic novel, two of which were fatalism philosophy and pessimism. (Horton, Rod. and Edwards 292) Mark Twain, as a realist, affected the development of Naturalism because he was also pessimistic and began to develop a sense of fatalism in his old ages. Corrupting value and distorted morality of American society, the theme of the writings in his last 20 years, was also the one naturalistic writers tried to explore in their works. Conclusion The Man that Corrupted the Hadleyburg was a representative of satire novel of Mark Twain. In this work, his pessimism was revealed. Mark Twain was pessimistic to human nature and he became to believe in fatalism. In his mind, there were no merits in human nature. All people were selfish, greedy and malicious. He also believed in fatalism. When people were faced with temptation, they could not refuse it but be tempted by it. They explained their destiny to the order of God. He displayed his pessimism by designing a bizarre plot and creating the characters of the stranger and the Richards. His pessimistic idea greatly affected his later writing. In What is Man, he became totally pessimistic to human nature。 in The Mysterious Stranger, he developed fatalism to nihilism. From Mark Twain’s pessimism, readers can understand the evil of money and illusion of democracy in American society. We should not be critical about his pessimism. Instead, we should think about whether we can withstand temptation when we face it. Works Cited Elliot, E. Columbia Literary History of the United States. Chengdu: Sichuan University Press, 1994.
