Abstract

Human nature is even more complicated, drifting between the black and white world. The image of Julien created by "The Red and the Black" has left a deep imprint on readers' hearts. Stendhal expressed his profound understanding of ethical issues by depicting the relationship between Mrs. De Reinal and different characters. In order to create the image of Mrs. De Reinal, the author used a lot of pen and ink to show the ethical dilemma she faced and her ethical redemption, which has rich ethical connotation. In Stendhal's works, the violent shock caused by the violent storm and the violent collision of thoughts and feelings in the hero's heart, and the torment of cooking and baking in the soul are lingering. "The Red and the Black" is a classic work by Stendhal, a French critical realist. This book has created a very moving female image of Mrs. De Reinal. This paper tries to analyze the female characters in Stendhal's works by taking Mrs. De Reinal as an example.
