- Abstract
There are three similar stories in Hans Christian Andersen’s later fairy tales, and the plots basically follow a general structural pattern of the hero and heroine “making a covenant at home — leaving home and abandoning the covenant — returning home”. Through the different choices of the hero and heroine, the story reflects the change of the human relations accompanying the industrial civilization. On the one hand, the girl “leaves home and abandons the contract”, on the other hand, the hero “returns home”. These unloved bachelors embody the author’s strong sense of home and imagination of place.
