" Père Goriot " was a French story about the life experiences of a representative figure of a social class during the French capitalist revolution, the aristocratic Père Goriot. The novel had a typical realistic color. Through the description of the character and fate of Goriard, it reflected the contradictions and struggles of the French social class at that time. Old Man Gao's personality was typical of nobles. He was arrogant, conceited, selfish, and cold. These personality traits led to his loneliness and misfortune in real life. At the same time, the social environment that Old Man Gao lived in was also a typical aristocratic environment. It was full of hypocrisy, vanity, luxury, and privilege, so he had to face all kinds of challenges and difficulties in reality. In the novel, the relationship between Old Man Gao's character and the social environment was mainly manifested in the following aspects: Old Man Gao's personality was the root cause of his misfortune in real life. His arrogant, conceited, selfish, and cold personality made him unable to accept and understand other people's opinions and ideas, causing him to encounter difficulties in interpersonal relationships. The noble environment that Old Man Gao lived in also aggravated his loneliness and misfortune. The hypocrisy, vanity, luxury, and privileges of the aristocratic society made it impossible for Old Man Gao to integrate into society and could only survive alone in his own world. The interaction between Old Man Gao's personality and the social environment also led to the change of his fate. When he gradually realized the contradiction between his personality and the social environment, he began to try to change his behavior and attitude in an attempt to adapt to the social environment. This effort finally changed his fate and made him a person who was no longer lonely and unfortunate. Therefore, the relationship between the typical character and the typical environment is an important theme in the novel. The contradiction between Gao Geezer's character and the social environment led to his loneliness and misfortune in real life, but his efforts and changes finally changed his fate. This theme also reflected the contradictions and struggles between the social classes in France at that time, which had a profound impact on later literary creation.
