Hollywood and Nathaniel West's The Day of the Locust

Hollywood and Nathaniel West 's grasshopper works are missing in the 1930s, but Nathaniel West' s "Locust Day" is ironically also a contemporary Hollywood. In the enchanting environment of Hollywood, West's role plays multiple roles, not as a personality. Like the mask of Commedia dell'Arte, they attach and remove these imaginary masks and they show a series of emotions that only their character type shows. Therefore, the role of the West is confined in this restrictive atmosphere, especially at the end of the novel, and they become part of a collective mob.

Locust Day, designed by Nathanael West, was built in Hollywood in the 1930s and followed the lives of a few people related to the film industry. Today, many critics think that this is the best novel of Hollywood 's ever history, but when it was released in 1939 it was hardly noticed by the general public. According to the introduction to reprinted novel by Richard B. Jeman in 1976, many critics at that time were considered to be "bad taste" of that novel. This novel combines the real characteristics of defective characters and the artificial and surreal atmosphere of the film industry. Tod Hackett who recently graduated from Yale University is an illustrator and set designer of a film company. He lives in the same apartment as Faye Greener, an ambitious and ambitious actress who is neither rich nor handsome.

Locust Day is a novel written by American writer Nathaniel West in 1939, created during the Great Depression in Hollywood, California, depicting another group's alienation and despair, the dream of success is actually I failed. The role of western novels is based on actors, artists, businessmen, dreamers and homeless people the West encountered among writers in Hollywood in the 1930s. All the characters are cards, they come to Hollywood to find something. In most cases, the West character is intentionally shallow and symbolic, "... from all B class genres of the time" (Simon, 523). West 's role is Hollywood' s stereotype.

Locust Day is a novel written by American writer Nasana El West in Hollywood, California in 1939. The novel tells the story of a young artist of the Yale Academy named Todd Hacket, hired by a Hollywood studio for landscape design and painting. During his work he is planning to call an important painting "burning in Los Angeles" which is a depiction of a chaotic and intense massacre that will destroy the city. Tod's friend is a Hollywood stereotype collection, but his bigger discovery is part of society, "the eyes are full of hatred", and "I came to California to die."
