Abstract
This paper examines the hero of The American Newman’s development of consciousness. In the beginning Newman appears to be very naive and egoistic. That’s because he gained economic power as a merchant. He thinks that he can buy everything and money gives happiness to him because owning material goods is a better life. James is criticized because he generally takes sides with the Americans in describing their struggle with Europeans. It is worth examining Newman’s defects which are factual obstacles to attain a better life. As we see in this work his attitude toward human experience is affirmative. He regards tragic experiences or sufferings as necessary steps for a man to attain spiritual maturity. And the spirit of renunciation found at the end of The American can be said to be the manifestation of James’s moral idealism.
