摘要:Based on the ‘intelligence motif’ in Jewish culture, this paper explores the heroes depicted in the novels by Saul Bellow. The authors hold that Saul Bellow repeatedly delineates his heroes as intellectuals embodied in the Jewish intelligence motif and associated with the Jewish tradition of intellectualism. The authors propose that Saul Bellow’s writings about the heroes are shadowed by the collective unconsciousness of the Jewish people.
