자아 혼돈과 수용의 과정 : 허공에 매달린 사나이를 중심으로 = The Process of Self Chaos and Its Accommodation in Saul Bellow’s Dangling Man

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this paper is to study the process of self chaos and its accommodation in Dangling Man. Essentially. Bellow has an optimistic view of man and the world in spite of prevailing nihilism, dehumanization and immoralism just in American society and its literature. Therefore, protagonists in his novels try to accommodate and overcome their sufferings, especially those elements which lead their lives to chaos or disorder.
Joseph, the protagonist, in Dangling Man has been an outsider in his society and family, dangling between civilian society and prospective military life for about a year. As a result, he has been completely alienated from the world. He is, in a sense, in mental suffering and predicament because he has no character in his society.
But he finally escapes his trying situations, and enters into the community of order and harmony by volunteering instead of enlisting in the army. Actually he tried to solve his own problems through self-examination and mental process. So he changes himself into a realistic character and joins society as an ordinary citizen accepting himself, others, and the world as it is.
