Abstract: Starting from an archetypal analysis of Leonard, the protagonist of Barnes’ Interference, this paper finds that Leonard is a passionate practicer of Nietzsche’s doctrine of  the will to power. Nietzsche’s doctrine of thewill to power is the core around which the spiritual part of the protagonist is fabricated. While he is constructing the image of the protagonist, Barnes betrays his sympathy and understanding, as well as his despising and irony. With deep understanding, full sympathy and even a touch of admiration, the novelist vividly presents Leonard’s views on loneliness, morality, religion and feminism, which are based on Nietzsche’s doctrine of the will to power. Meanwhile, Barnes takes a mocking attitude towards Leonard’s weirdness and eccentricity. Stimulated by Dionysian spirit which is based on Nietzsche’s doctrine of the will to power, art reaches its summit in the pursuit of beauty. Beauty of artis what Barnes highly extols, but the application of artistic doctrine in real life incurs a lot of embarrassment and even results in the tragedy of the Nietzschean hero. Extolling the beauty of art has been Barnes’ favorite theme, but the intermingling of art and life is the object which Barnes satirizes and criticizes. Paradoxically admiring and mocking the Nietzschean hero, Barnes renders the story with a postmodern style, which embraces contrasts and paradoxes.
