초록
The purpose of this study is to attempt to trace the ‘christological tradition' to which Jim Casy belongs. This method of previous studies has now largely been achieved. Hitherto, the quest for literary antecedents and parallels for Steinbeck's portrayal of Casy has largely been confined to trawling through the gospels. What I have tried to do in this essay is to establish Casy's position in a christological tradition; a tradition stretching from the evangelists themselves, via the battlefields of the Civil War, to writers such as Hayes and Guthrie. Therefore I try to pursue a christological tradition through similarities in Christ-like figures including Jim Casy and Jesus Christ in American literature. Of Course, this trial will not be a wholly new one. Already in the 1960s Edwin Moseley noted parallels between Casy and a particular sort of “Christ figure of the thirties.” However, He errs in characterizing this christology as merely presenting in the last analysis a kind of melodramatic hero who represents the potential goodness in man. I think that Christ came as a leader of the oppressed masses, and as a sacrificial figure. Therefore, as Jim Casy is a primary character, he has a distinguishing mark in the christological tradition, Jim Casy, with his eye-catching initials, is such a Christ figure in this novel.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to attempt to trace the ‘christological tradition' to which Jim Casy belongs. This method of previous studies has now largely been achieved.

What I have tried to do in this essay is to establish Casy's position in a christological tradition; a tradition stretching from the evangelists themselves, via the battlefields of the Civil War, to writers such as Hayes and Guthrie. Therefore I try to pursue a christological tradition through similarities in Christ-like figures including Jim Casy and Jesus Christ in American literature. Of Course, this trial will not be a wholly new one.
