Galsworthy is a prominent English novelist and playwright. Galsworthy, Wells and Bennett are claimed as three masters of realism in the twentieth century in England. Quality is one of his famous short stories. This work is short in length, however, it has profound significance. This story depicts traditional handicrafts’ survival crises, which are brought about by technological progress and trade monopoly with the development of the capitalist economy. Based on the perspective of Sartre’s existentialism, this paper interprets Gessel brothers’ life tragedy from the following three aspects: an absurd world, self-deception and free choice, and analyzes how the external circumstances and internal factors led to their miserable ending.
