ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the characteristics of Lu Xun’s literary in relation to the image of walking. The image of walking is the main motif of Lu Xun's works. Through that, Lu Xun’s literature observes a familiar reality. At the same time it is dreaming of a breakout from a familiar reality. The image of walking and passing that found in the works of Lu Xun does not assume a specific destination. Just because it is the truth of life, just leave this place now, to leave even without knowing where to go. The Anxiety and fear that derives from it is the share of those who ventured to walk. Through the image of walking, Lu Xun’s literature reveals the secrets of civilization hidden in various signifiers. In most cases, Lu Xun's attitude is pessimistic about the civilization, but the pessimistic attitude is a natural characteristic of the reason. The pessimistic attitude makes critically aware of the effects of the signifier that dominates the civilization. So, the Lu Xun’s Literature can be described as the result of recognition through walking. This paper analyzed from the cliché sense of walking and leaving the aspects of existence that contains the word ‘wanderer’. This paper was investigated the value of the pessimistic attitude to stare the reality and culture through Lu Xun‘s literary works. Lu Xun says that his literature records the evils of the times, therefore disappear with the times. Nevertheless, the pessimistic attitude that disquieting staring at the back of civilization does not disappear. This tells us that the evils of civilization continues. And, Lu Xun's literature is the obvious evidence of that.
