Abstract

Malamud’s novels are featured by the Jewishness. This thesis tries to analyse three characters’ deviation from Jewish identity and culture, and their returning to the Jews or their awakening of Jewishness after they underwent despair and frustration in their life. This thesis also reveals Malamud’s sarcasm toward those who betrayed Jews and his effort to defend Jewish identity.
