Abstract
This thesis discusses Carson McCullers<U+2019> fiction with special reference to her five major novels. Her illness, though limited her physical movement, stimulates her literary creation. The thesis attempts to investigate how most of McCullers<U+2019> production explores one overwhelming state of emotion, the human being in isolation. Though her first and last works bring up questions of politics, religion, race, and history, her primary concern in these and all her works remains the same, man in isolation. Loneliness is a feeling pervasive and permanent in the world of her works. McCullers<U+2019> characters are misfits and outcasts who face a hidden suffering which represents the highest accomplishments of her fiction. The thesis also stresses that McCullers uses grotesque characters, as heroes and heroines; people who are neglected by the whole world and even despised by ordinary ones. McCullers reveals beneath the stereotypes valuable complex human beings, those involved in the variousness of their contradictions as well as in their suffering.
