'ln her reputed trilogy The Fortunes of Richard Mahony, Henry Handel Richardson exquisitely portrays the migrant image of Richard Mahony, who, cherishing the rosy dream of a good fortune, migrates to Australia, but turns out a tragic figure. The author of this essay thinks that, the success of the novel owes a great deal to the wide use of the rhetorical device of contrast, which, as a typical and handy method with the author, contributes remarkably to the depiction of the protagonist, to the accentuation of the theme and the continuity and integrity of the trilogy, greatly enhancing the artistic piquancy of the work.'
