John Galsworthy, one of the winners of Nobel Prize for Literature, is one of the most prominent English criticized realistic writer and playwright. He takes the English background from the end of the 19th century to the 20th century as his setting, using naturalism as his writing method analyzing the moral and social problem of the English. His works have strongly attached the unequal capitalist society. In his realistic novels, he not only describes the everyday life of the upper class, but also reveals their mental outlook. He has shown great pity to the poor. He has written lots of works, such as The Forsyte Saga, A Modern Comedy and The End of the Chapter.
The Apple Tree, a medium-length novel, is also written by him. He says that it is one of his best five stories. It is written in beautiful words and is worth reading. In this novel, Galswothy tells us the love tragedy between Ashurst and Megan. Ashurst first loves Megan for the reason of pity, and then deserts her also because of pity. This paper intends to examine Galsworthy’s handling of Ashurst’s personality, to uncover the essence of capitalist society, and to reveals the fact that John Galsworthy is a bourgeois himself by analyzing his portrayal of Ashurst’s dual personality.

The Big Picture the painting "Twenty-cent Movie"

1,I think the cinema is in the red,so it cuts down the films'prices to attract more people to see movies.
2,I think the men who are in the painting don't want to pay through the nose for "Anna Sten",so they are waiting out of the cinema to see a cheaper one.
3,I think the boss of the cinema skims the profits from the cinema,so the men may be the ploicemen and they want to catch him.
4,The people who are in the painting look as if they have a lot of dough and they have a good time in the movie that is called"Anna Sten".
5,The two women are looking at the price of the movies and they want to slash the prices of the movies with the ticket seller.
