Abstract

The Nobel Winners- Mo Yan and Munro play significant role in world literary circles because of their unique charms which lie in the expressions of their homeland feelings. The two writers with different nationality have described homeland lives in reality, and they both sentimentally attached to their homelands which make their works appear a kind of feeling to their homelands, which cannot be erased in western and Chinese literature. Although they both show their attachment to their homeland, the ways to express the feeling are different because they live in different environments and they have different life experiences and cultural backgrounds. Therefore, the thesis will adopt paralleled method to compare the two writers’ different living environment and cultural backgrounds. It aims to present readers different and unique homelands; to make readers personally sense writers’ feelings towards their homelands and read the works from different cultures. Only in this way, will readers’ understanding on the uniqueness of local culture be deepened. Meanwhile, in the process of analyzing the sentimental feeling, the thesis hope to combine nature and women together using ecofeminism to analyze the similarity to express the themes, which aims to reveal authors’ views on the relationship between nature and women, fatherly, to show worldwide literature.
