A Study of Father Absence in The Wapshot Chronicle
The Wapshot Chronicle is the first novel created by American novelist John Cheever.It vividly depicts the patchwork suburban family life of the middle class represented by the Wapshot.Among them,the absence of fathers leads to the family fate of the Wapshot,who are'separated from each other'.In this way,this study adopts the family system theory to explore the impact of father absence and family structure on family relationship in Cheever's novel The Wapshot Chronicle,highlighting the key role of the father in the family,and at the same time refracting the writer's longing to get out of the family dilemma by solidifying the family bond,so as to usher in the new life of the individual and the family.
