| Descripción: | As a novelist primarily concerned with morality and the survival of the individual in a hostile world, Mordecai Richler repeatedly demonstrates the tension between the fantasies of his characters and the actualities that confront them. For the purposes of this study, fantasy is taken to represent the thought processes that produce daydreams, irrational fears, and wish-fulfillment, while reality is the actual world of the novel against which the characters pit themselves in their struggle for self-knowledge or success. The characters who are successful in Richler's terms are those who are not so trapped in their fantasy worlds that they cannot transcend their limitations and the restrictions of their society to affirm the values of human decency, moral integrity, and perseverance. |
