This paper aims at studying two kinds of questions. First, is Joseph, who loses his identity and is dangling, saved? Second, does Topophilia exist in Joseph’s heart? To search for topophilia in Western Literature is not easy, but it is very meaningful to try to find out topophilia in Saul Bellow’s Dangling Man. In fact, the word “topophilia” can be defined broadly to include all of the human being’s affective ties with the material environment. Joseph, the protagonist, stays in a small room, which is like a jail in Chicago, alienated from his friends and family members. He couldn’t find his delights and comfort here, but he felt very special feelings at his old room when he visited his father’s home because this place had great significance for him. It was his topophilia which gives special feelings and makes his decision for the next step. He comes to his salvation after many experiences from the external world, and the dialogs with his ‘alter ego.’ Even though he was in chaos or disorder, he escaped from his distressful situations through self-examination and direct experiences with others because identity is formed with a dialectics of attraction and repulsion. So, it is very clear to me that topophilia affects his salvation and formation of his identity.
Abstract
This paper aims at studying two kinds of questions. First, is Joseph, who loses his identity and is dangling, saved? Second, does Topophilia exist in Joseph’s heart? To search for topophilia in Western Literature is not easy, but it is very meaningful to try to find out topophilia in Saul Bellow’s Dangling Man. In fact, the word “topophilia” can be defined broadly to include all of the human being’s affective ties with the material environment. Joseph, the protagonist, stays in a small room, which is like a jail in Chicago, alienated from his friends and family members. He couldn’t find his delights and comfort here, but he felt very special feelings at his old room when he visited his father’s home because this place had great significance for him. It was his topophilia which gives special feelings and makes his decision for the next step. He comes to his salvation after many experiences from the external world, and the dialogs with his ‘alter ego.’ Even though he was in chaos or disorder, he escaped from his distressful situations through self-examination and direct experiences with others because identity is formed with a dialectics of attraction and repulsion. So, it is very clear to me that topophilia affects his salvation and formation of his identity.
