Hermit poets avoid fierce social and political struggles, indulge in personal emotional world, and regard the abstract and transcendental evil of life as the source of all evils, which actually dilutes or covers up the essence of social contradictions. Sometimes, pessimism and sadness are more intense. At the same time, the hermit school reflects the unique, sharp and complicated social contradictions in Italy after the First World War. It is the antithesis of literature praising capitalism and fascist rule, and expresses the dissatisfaction of Italian middle and petty bourgeoisie with social reality, especially the frustration, disappointment and hesitation of fascist dictatorship and its ideology, so it has certain ideological significance and cognitive value.
In the 1940s, under the influence of the anti-fascist resistance movement initiated by the people, some reclusive poets either directly participated in the resistance movement or vividly expressed the themes of anti-fascism and patriotism in their poems, and began to touch on the themes of social real life. Hermit poets seek innovation in art, expand the means of expression of poetry, and are good at depicting the spiritual world of characters in detail, which has a certain influence on later poetry creation. However, due to the deliberate pursuit of feelings and images, some poems play with words, the content is empty, and most of them are obscure.
