Abstract
British novelist Elizabeth Bowen tactfully sets the fate of individuals in the spectacular background of war in her short novel “The Demon Lover” to depict the physical and psychical trauma of human beings. The protagonists Kathleen Drover and the “demon” soldier who returns for revenge are two typical sufferers of trauma. The writing of the trauma in this novel not only recreates daily life of British women during the war but also draws readers’ attention on the cruelty of war, which endow the short story abundant significance of enlightenment to individuals and society.
