Abstract

Characters play an important role in literary works. It is the place where writers deposit ideological content and aesthetic views on real life. In the novels “Ho Quy Ly” and “Doi gao len chua”, Nguyen Xuan Khanh has built a colossal character system with many different relationships in which the type of character: secular life-returning monk is paid special attention. They come to the pagoda door due to the push of fate, but eventually have to return to the secular life knowing that they have not finished their worldly debt and being caught up in the turmoil of history. Despite returning to the secular life, these characters still abide by Buddhist teachings in a sincere and profound way.
