Saul Bellow,a classic American writer,was labeled as an existentialist writer or an absurdist writer because of the absurd living condition of the little intellectuals in his works.Bellow's works are in-deed deeply imprinted with the thoughts of the times.However,it is not difficult to find that his works as a whole are steeped in the tragic consciousness of the long history of western literature.Western literature is keen on the tragedy.The protagonists of tragedy are not willing to sink into the"last man"under the suffering and pressure,but rise up against it,and declare their heroic spirit as the master of fate with their noble and magnificent struggle course.The author takes three classic works,Humboldt's Gift,Herzog and More People Die of Heartbreak,and analyzes the author's expression techniques in the characterization and plot development,reads the writer's tragic consciousness hidden under his seemingly plain narra-tive language,and explores the source of his tragic consciousness in his works,providing a new perspec-tive for the study of Bellow's works.
