Abstract

The Ferryman is a novel of spiritual salvation that integrates myth and reality. It centers on Dylan’s journey of soul searching and returning, and portrays how ordinary little people get out of the spiritual dilemma and reshape themselves through the pursuit of spiritual home and the test of soul. The author continues the creation mode of pursuing motif and salvation prototype in ancient Western mythology, and adopts innovative displacement in the new background. It reflects the author’s positive thinking about the fate of human beings in the modern context, enriches the form and connotation of myth paradigm and has profound significance on different cultures and times.
