Turning into myself I was looking for the answer to questions such as: What I pursue?; How can I be free and happy?; How can I fulfill my life?; While Clyde Griffiths’ life was outlined in front of my eyes, the feeling of oppression and helplessness got mixed up in me. His desperate struggle in the hope of a more beautiful and happier life, which finally chased him into death, deeply terrified me. Is the American Dream really a lie?
