Saul Bellow's Dangling Man is a novel written in the form of a journal. The main character of this novel, Joseph, is waiting for military induction, which is delayed for some reasons. He does not have a job and spends over ten hours in his room reading all sections of the two newspapers. He becomes angry when he meets his acquaintances and family members. He steadily writes about his encounters with death and his conversations with his alter ego, the Spirit of Alternatives. After visiting his childhood home, he has inner peace and determination to take certain actions. There he realizes that all situations, including his house, will change. In this article, I analyze this novel by emphasizing the therapeutic elements of journal writing. By engaging in consistent journal writing, individuals like Joseph can gradually explore their complex inner thoughts and develop a profound self-awareness. The practice of expressive journal writing can bring about insight for journal keepers. In the final scene of this novel, Joseph is no longer dangling because he chooses his own future. Joseph gains clarity through continuous journaling reviewing his activities. His new resolutions are reflected in his kind behaviors and grateful attitudes. His invincible anger transforms into gratitude, and he can read books peacefully all day long, which represents that he has overcome his alienation and bore-out conditions.
Abstract
Saul Bellow's Dangling Man is a novel written in the form of a journal. The main character of this novel, Joseph, is waiting for military induction, which is delayed for some reasons. He does not have a job and spends over ten hours in his room reading all sections of the two newspapers. He becomes angry when he meets his acquaintances and family members. He steadily writes about his encounters with death and his conversations with his alter ego, the Spirit of Alternatives. After visiting his childhood home, he has inner peace and determination to take certain actions. There he realizes that all situations, including his house, will change. In this article, I analyze this novel by emphasizing the therapeutic elements of journal writing. By engaging in consistent journal writing, individuals like Joseph can gradually explore their complex inner thoughts and develop a profound self-awareness. The practice of expressive journal writing can bring about insight for journal keepers. In the final scene of this novel, Joseph is no longer dangling because he chooses his own future.
