The willow Pattern is a scenic pattern carved on the chinese chi-na wares. Its legend inspires the Victorial British writer, GeorgeMeredith, with his The Egoist. Willow Pattern and Willougbby Pat-terne the protagonist are homonymic, thus the key metaphor of thework. With respect to the characters and structural relationship,The Egoist has made adjustments, the legend’s theme of anti-fendal-ism being elevated to that of anti - religion and male chauvinism; andthe associative comparisor between the Willow Pattern and the Gene-sis establishes the ironical implicit framework of Genesis. This modelsets up a bridge berween the Eastern and the Western traditionalmorales, sees through the nature of egoism and the hypocrisy ofChristianity. The labyrinthic structure and unique word - play of TheEgoist Pushes the traditional comedy to a high comedy.
