摘要

Abstract

This study explores Thomas Gray's

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard

hereinafter referred to as "Elegy". With intricate narrative interplay among the perspectives of "I

" "you

" and "he

" Gray delves into themes of mortality

social equality

and fate

inviting readers to engage in a multilayered meditation on human existence. By employing Aristotle's concepts of tragic elements

the analysis of

Elegy

reveals its transcendence beyond personal lament to address universal themes. Gray's work thus prompts a profound contemplation on the transient nature of life and the shared destiny of humanity.
