Dos Passos in American Society

ENGLISH

During the First World War, the United States emerged as a global superpower, but citizens observed the misery and horrible deterioration of American society. Fruit pickers and farmers in the United States have suffered greatly as a result of the Great Depression, the Wall Street Crash, and the rise of capitalism. Steinbeck drew inspiration from Karl Marx's revolutionary thought, which advocated for a classless society with a dialectical connection between the wealthy and the poor. John Steinbeck cares deeply about the struggle of the working class. Throughout his works from the 1930s and 1940s, Steinbeck shows a good grasp of the concepts of Communism. Among Steinbeck's best-known works is The Grapes of Wrath, which tells the story of how "farming became industry" in the Dust Bowl era of the 1920s. Manhattan Transfer, by John Dos Passos, is an example of his extreme vision. I believe that Dos Passos's politics are based on a desire to enable the individual worker escape the political machine while gaining control over his physical equipment. " Midcentury, the last of Dos Passos's works to be published during his lifetime, is examined as a continuation of the themes and political reasons of the US series in the third chapter of my dissertation. Because of this, critics who have characterized his latter works as right-wing propaganda have neglected to read his last book carefully; in fact, they have concentrated almost solely on his personal life rather than his writing, I suggest. Because of his political views, critics tend to see Dos Passos as a divisive personality, despite the fact that his books themselves are politically moderate.
