It must be the most controversial point and the hardest part for us readers to understand. However, closely examining Nell’s death, we find it having two aspects and roles. One is “the tragic death” as a pathetic symbol of all children of the lower classes who were the victims of avarice at that time, to show the cruelty and injustice of the Victorian industrial society built on the sacrifice of those poor, and to evoke sympathy in the contemporaries’ mind. The other is “non-death” with eternal life as an angel, the eternal good influence of her humanity among people. Love, sympathy and all other goodness Nell embodies can be a solution to the social problem Nell’s tragic death points out and can unite all the people to establish a harmonious society based on humanistic ideals.Viewed in this light, the death of Nell takes on a new meaning, the double-layer presentation of both the social problem and its solution., 論文},
