초록
In these days of capitalist fetishism, Steinbeck’s Monterey triumvirate (Tortilla Flat, Cannery Row, and Sweet Thursday) is well known as a prominent satire of the traditional capitalism, and for showing the writer’s realistic naturalism and moral optimism. Although the novels are blamed for too many anecdotes and oversimplification, they have given us gentle and unadorned moral lessons and pleasure. Paying attention to that fact that the characters of the triumvirate are particularly absorbed in collecting and rent, this paper aims to compare and analyze the connotation of the concepts in the text, and to illuminate Steinbeck’s view of justice by treating American dream and its paradox, and by using historical facts, and Hanna Arendt’s and Richard Dawkins’s idea.
Abstract
In these days of capitalist fetishism, Steinbeck’s Monterey triumvirate (Tortilla Flat, Cannery Row, and Sweet Thursday) is well known as a prominent satire of the traditional capitalism, and for showing the writer’s realistic naturalism and moral optimism. Although the novels are blamed for too many anecdotes and oversimplification, they have given us gentle and unadorned moral lessons and pleasure. Paying attention to that fact that the characters of the triumvirate are particularly absorbed in collecting and rent, this paper aims to compare and analyze the connotation of the concepts in the text, and to illuminate Steinbeck’s view of justice by treating American dream and its paradox, and by using historical facts, and Hanna Arendt’s and Richard Dawkins’s idea.
