This thesis investigates the representation and development of the Messianic characters in J.D.Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye and Jose Saramago’s Cain in the one-dimensional society. It is a cross-disciplinary study benefiting from sociological and psychoanalytical approaches: Freud’s Death Drive as well as his RepressionSuppression theories, along with Marcuse’s and Fromm’s Messianisms. The study uses two influential literary characters (Holden Caulfield and Cain) in order to demonstrate how the one-dimensional society turns repressed individuals into violent Messianic heroes, who are divided into two types: Passive and Positive. Passive Messiahs, after suppressing their individuality, get frustrated and choose to destroy themselves (Holden Caulfield), and Positive Messiahs keep suppressing their individuality until they end up choosing to destroy the society itself (Cain). The study concludes with constructing a theoretical framework that demonstrates the four stages of the Messianic Hero’s development, which are: The Pre-messianic Harmony, The Messianic Epiphany, The Messianic Crisis and The Messianic Comforting Illusion. Also, it uses Slavoj Zizek’s idea of hopelessness to introduce a possible solution for the problem of Messianism. |
