The Modern American Novel

Modern times spent a lot of time from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 19th century. There have been many changes in society from the beginning to the end of the modern era. When people saw the roar of the 1920s it was difficult to imagine what the United States would look like 20 to 30 years ago. These big differences can be seen by looking at Henry James's first contemporary American novel "portrait of a woman" and comparing it with a later contemporary American novel "The sun rises".

The theme of focusing on social hypocrisy and racial discrimination is not a taboo topic of writing. In modern American novels, informal and descriptive sentence styles are used. A contemporary American novel like "adventure of Huckleberry Finn" is a literary work that breaks the traditional style according to modern concepts. Hemingway can easily agree on what he believes, and given the impact of the book on society, he is right.

To be a true foundation of contemporary American literature, the novel must concentrate on the concept of America. One of America's most famous concepts is "American Dream." Huckleberry Finn is the first novel to cover "American Dream", the longtime attitude of many Americans to American dreams, and how to follow it. An example of Huckleberry Finn is the dream that Huck and Jim coincidentally became a scorpion of two cheaters and find wealth in an illegal and morally wrong way using women, children, the elderly, even men It is realized.

This time, everyone in the US enjoys an extreme material life, and they become luxurious before they get into trouble. Therefore, in this novel, readers can see the behavior and thinking of the rich people of this age. Death of a salesman was a script written in 1949 when there was a slight decrease. There are some time differences between the two works, but they all include those who pursue the social background of the early 20th century and the so-called "American dream". Then show that their dreams can not help fantasizing in this social environment.
