| 内容記述 | Tim O’Brien’s second novel, Going after Cacciato (1978), narrates the GI characters’ magical journey from the Vietnam War battlefields to Paris that Paul Berlin, the protagonist, supposedly fantasizes during his one night’s sentry duty.In this essay, a special focus is given to an episode, in which one of Berlin’s fellow GIs likens the land of Vietnam to Tarzan’s African jungle. As numerous reproductions of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Tarzan story convey what Kenneth B.Kidd calls the feral tale, the moral message of which is an ideal model for American boys’ passage into manhood, I argue that O’Brien’s narrative of the GIs who escape from the Vietnam warzones/Tarzan country challenges America’s conventional ideas about masculinity. Furthermore, finding a similarity between Tarzan’s feral tale and the frontier myth, America’s dominant national creation myth that romanticizes early European settlers’ violence against Native Americans, this essay examines the ways in which O’Brien undermines the imperialist and racist assumptions inscribed in those mythical tales that shape Americans’ ideas about ideal manhood. Narrating, in parallel, the excessively severe realities of the war that subvert the GIs’ pre-war expectations, their escape from the Vietnamese terrain,and the failure of the protagonist’s first initiation into the frontier in his childhood,O’Brien delineates the plight of American foot soldiers who are no longer able to identify with the heroic frontiersmen’s masculine virtues. O’Brien’s reflection upon the nature of American manhood results in a frustrating and cynical selfportrayal of a new generation of Americans whose attempts to identify with the myth of the nation’s exceptional goodness and power are destined for failure. |
