Abstract

The society that Saul Bellow (1915-2005) depicts in his novel Seize the Day (1956) is overwhelmed with materialism which brings ruin in common people’s fate. In the contemporary American capitalist society money stands as a mammon to man. Therefore, the present paper has attempted to discuss the relationship between materialism and alienation in Bellow’s merciless society. Our protagonist, Tommy Wilhelm can’t adapt himself in this materialistic trench of society, and is to be detached from his father, wife, children, and from rest of the world.
