Chapter Two In Tao the Only Motion is Returning唯一的运动是回归

In this chapter, Lao Zi’s “In Tao the only motion is returning”（Wei Li,1996:93）is usedto analyze this fiction. In his opinion, things move in circles and people should do thingsmoderately rather than obstinately. “What is in the end to be shrunk/Must first be stretched.Whatever www.51lunwen.orgis to be weakened/ Must begin by being made strong. What is to be overthrown/Must begin by being set up”. (Wei Li, 1996:81)
Lao Zi thinks that one of the embodiments of this law is venerating weakness, or theweak overcomes the strong, for the weak will become stronger and the strong become weaker.Sarah negates the prejudice against weakness. She struggles against feudal influence byshowing her weakness and gets freedom and artistic happy life.

He shows strong desire of returning tohuman nature and great hatred of feudal ethical codes. However, Charles goes his ideal ofUtopia to another extreme and escapes from reality. This is his unreasonable side.
