Abstract

When many other 20th century English novels focus on social documentary, Iris Murdoch attaches more concerns with an extraordinary reality: modern industry corrupts human beings’ moral sensibility. This paper adopts myth and archetypal criticism as the base of research and probes into archetypal characters and classical themes and interprets Murdoch’s metaphorical attention towards the meanings of existence and the lost identity of modern men.
