  ABSTRACT: In today’s world, cultural exchange and comparison are becoming increasingly frequent, and literature research is also becoming more in-depth. Jane Eyre, and A Dream of Red Mansions, as exemplary works of Chinese and Western novels, have naturally become key objects of cultural dissemination to the foreign people. In 1953, American literary theorist Abrams proposed the “Four Elements Theory” in “Mirror and Lamp: Romantic Literary Theory and Critical Tradition”: author, work, universe, and audience. In this article, the author will introduce this theory for the appreciation of the two masterpieces above, trying to find out the different views of love and marriage between domestic and foreign in ancient times.
