Abstract
This research on Mailer’s An American Dream and Tough Guys Don’t Dance explores
his attitude of complex relationship between male and female. By portraying male and
female characters in both positive as well as negative characteristics, Mailer establishes
his idea that both have strengths as well as weaknesses because we cannot transcend
human limitations. From the perspective of feminist criticism, the research analyzes the
characters and images used by the novelist in the novels.
