Abstract: Morality, one of the eternal motifs in literature, is also an important aspect for the

writers to transcend social reality, thus elevating literary creation from the level of individuality to that of universality. However, in The Cone-Gatherers, the highly-acclaimed novel written by the Scottish novelist Robin Jenkins, the universal moral issue of humanity is pushed into the foreground under specific historical contexts and natural backgrounds. By correlating morality with issues like Nazism, class and religion, Jenkins strives to review social reality from a moral angle. Thus, this article, based on an exploration of Duror’s unnamed hatred of Calum, aims to show the intensity of morality in this novel through exploring the correlation between Nazism and Duror’s choice, the influence of class and religion on people’s conscience, as well as its revelation about self and nature.
