Abstract

This essay analyzes the content of Calling Major Tom in the perspective of community. Firstly, from the perspective of the relationship community, it shows the parental love, brotherhood and intergenerational communication. Secondly, due to the tense pace of life and continuous difficulties in today’s society, through the family in crisis, the communication across the space and the protagonists’ longing for home, the paper expounds the community of place. Finally, through the mutual connection and common psychological characteristics of characters, it shows the author’s writing intention and draws closer to the community of mind. The context analysis of Calling Major Tom in the perspective of community helps unveil the writer’s diverse visions and his understanding of a community of shared future for mankind, and his thoughts on the connection of British society.
