Study on the Connotations of the "Home" in The Diaries of Jane Somers from the Perspective of Compound Plot Structure

British writer Doris Lessing was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2007. Many of her works have been translated into other languages and have brought far-reaching significance. Since the 1980s, Lessing returned to realistic novel creation. Thus, The Diaries of Jane Somers, in the form of diary and in the style of prose, was created. The present paper will adopt the method of textual research by combining theoretical analysis and textual perusal, to explore the meanings of the "home" implied in this novel for the purpose of exposing its nature of epochal character and warning.
