摘要
The paper makes a brief introduction to Langston Hughes, one of the most important writers and thinkers of the Harlem Renaissances, and is intended to analyze his writing style applied in his short story Early autumn. Through arranging thoughtfully designed dialogue, meaningfully condensed setting and the proper point of view, two sharp contrasting characters are vividly presented to readers. Early autumn also showcases Hughes' talent in reflecting the protagonists' emotional changes and revealing complexity of universal human nature through plain language, which provokes readers' empathy.
