西方文学传承不变的主题是写人,这点在《美国的悲剧》中更有体现,它描写了一个小人物克莱德,他善良美好的人性在外在金钱环境的夹击下,不断地表现出一组组难以调和的矛盾:善与恶、情与欲、尊与卑。 The theme of the inheritance of Western literature is to write people. This point is even more reflected in the “American Tragedy.” It describes one of the lesser Clyde. His kind and good human nature is continuously showing under the attack of the money environment, A group of difficult to reconcile the contradictions: good and evil, love and desire, respect and humble.
