Appreciation of Foreign Fictions

One of the following incorrect statements is
A. Hugo was the most outstanding representative of French romanticism in the 19th century. His creation advocated the principle of "beauty and ugliness contrast." In the scene of the war between humans and beasts in " Cannon Beast ", there were all kinds of comparisons: flesh and blood versus steel beasts, rationality versus savagery, wisdom versus savagery, dexterity versus brutality, bravery versus intelligence, and movement versus stillness…All of these showed the magnificent characteristics of romantic literature.
B. The stream-of-consciousness novel was a literary genre that appeared in the European and American literary circles in the early 20th century. Its creation focused on describing the flow of consciousness of characters and revealing the existence of human spirit. In addition to the British writer Woolf's "The Spot on the Wall," there were also the Irishman writer Joyce's "Ulysses" and the American writer Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury."
C. Gorky's Danke was full of the tragedy of " something valuable was destroyed ", and the plot setting further highlighted the tragic meaning of the theme, so Danke's heroic image appeared rich and full. From an aesthetic point of view, the sublime tragic ending would make the work more successful.
D. The " I " in " The Old Man by the Bridge " had the color of a calm bystander. It was more about " showing " the story rather than " telling " the story. There was not much subjective feeling and psychological description. All the symbolic meanings of the scenery and all the intents of the plot were contained in the objective narration, which reflected Ernest's unique narrative style.
