Abstract

In the novel “God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater” the protagonist turns into a person skeptically predetermined for the “American Dream” and the future of America. In this paper, an attempt is made to reveal the reason why the moral values and principles of the protagonist are to collide with the generally accepted system of values. By means of а retrospective study of cause and consequences, we try to reveal the real motivation of Eliot’s behavior, the unprecedented expiration of love and compassion towards others.
