dc.description.abstract | This thesis focuses on Escapism in Jack Kerouac’s On The Road.Written after the social turmoil of the Great Depression and World War II, the novel explores the feelings, ideas, and experiences of restless, idealistic youth who yearns for something more than the bland conformity of a generally prosperous society. The novel focuses on the travels of two young men who crisscross the United States in search of adventure and excitement. The main characters celebrate their life by using their freewill and ignoring all their responsibilities the root such carefree nature however, lies in their escape from society and their failure to adopt with the hard times. | en_US |
