Abstract: | This research paper is a study on a man who can’t fulfill multiple social roles. In Saul Bellow’s Herzog, the main character Herzog becomes frustrated after his second divorce. His experience of two cultures (Jews and American) can not help him get the self identity. His inadaptability to new socio-cultural conditions are the results of cultural marginality. As a result, he loses his self- definition and not also able to invent new ways for defining himself. Due to the crisis of identity, he has lost his happiness and has been an ungreatful child to his parents, a distant brother, an egoist to friends and apathetic citizen. |
