Well, 'The Scarlet Letter' by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a great melancholy novel. Hester Prynne's public shaming and her internal struggle are very melancholic elements. Another one is 'Crime and Punishment' by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Raskolnikov's guilt and his journey of redemption are set against a backdrop of a rather melancholic St. Petersburg.
I would recommend 'Heart of Darkness' by Joseph Conrad. The dark exploration of the human psyche in the context of colonialism has a deep sense of melancholy. Also, 'To the Lighthouse' by Virginia Woolf. The passage of time and the characters' unfulfilled desires make it a melancholic read.
Sure. 'Grief Is the Thing with Feathers' is a great one. It's a unique exploration of grief, which is a very melancholic topic. The use of the crow as a symbol adds to the overall melancholy feel. Another is 'We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves'. It has a melancholic tone as it deals with family secrets and the sense of being an outsider. Then there's 'The Essex Serpent' which has a touch of melancholy in its historical and atmospheric setting.
'Maus' by Art Spiegelman also has elements of melancholy. While it's mainly about the Holocaust, the way it portrays the relationship between the author and his father, and the overall weight of the historical events, gives it a melancholic undertone.
Some best melancholy novels include 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy. The post - apocalyptic setting where a father and son struggle to survive is extremely melancholic. 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov can be considered in this list too. Humbert Humbert's obsessive and ultimately tragic relationship with Lolita has a melancholic quality. 'The Stranger' by Albert Camus also has elements of melancholy as the protagonist's detached view of the world and his fate are rather sad.
One of the well - known melancholy novels is 'The Great Gatsby'. It shows the disillusionment and melancholy of the American Dream through the character of Gatsby. His unrequited love for Daisy and his ultimate downfall create a sense of sadness and melancholy throughout the story.
I recommend the two novels,"The Dark Planet" and "The Autumn Water Case Record". Both of them had a dark atmosphere and cold language. "Dark Planet" was about the apocalyptic crisis that humanity faced after the upheaval on Earth. The protagonist traveled through space and led humanity to defeat the demons. On the other hand,"The Autumn Water Case Record" was a mystery detective novel. It mainly described the process of psychological counselor Ye Qiushui uncovering the truth of the case and revealing the dark side of the human heart. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
Another good one is 'Melancholy in the Hidden Leaf'. Here, Naruto is shown dealing with the pressure of being the Hokage. He misses the simplicity of his old life and the friends who have drifted apart. The story is filled with his internal monologues that are full of melancholy and self - reflection.
Sure. 'The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya' is a popular series of novels. The novels are known for their unique blend of science - fiction, slice - of - life, and comedy elements. They center around the character Haruhi Suzumiya, a high - school girl with a very active imagination and a desire to find the extraordinary in the ordinary world. Each novel in the list often features different adventures and interactions among the characters, making it an engaging read for fans of the genre.
One of the best melancholy new fictions could be 'The Midnight Library' by Matt Haig. It delves into themes of regret and alternate lives in a rather melancholic yet thought - provoking way. Another might be 'A Little Life' by Hanya Yanagihara, which is filled with a deep sense of melancholy as it follows the difficult life of its characters. And 'Normal People' by Sally Rooney also has elements of melancholy in its exploration of relationships and the characters' internal struggles.
Here are a few novels that describe the melancholic male protagonist's eyes: 1. " Beautiful He Doesn't Talk ": This novel was written by Jiang Xiaolu. The male protagonist was a patient with severe depression. The story was sweet and healing. 2. " Infatuated Love Can't Escape ": The author is Xiang Xiang and Yu Fei.
