The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter Character Analysis Loneliness

Abstract

Carson McCullers has been considered as one of the most influential American southern women writers in the 20th century. Her first novel The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter is a spiritual presentation of the Southern Americans against the background of American South in the 1930s, the time between the Great Depression and the Second World. In this novel, McCullers told a desperately sad story about the deaf-mute Singer, his deaf-mute friend Antonatoulos and his four friends, who are the little girl Mick, the black doctor Copeland, the drunken Jake and the observer Biff. The characters in this novel share a common feature: loneliness.
