Attachment: It may be helpful to understand the theme of return
"
The ritual of transformation, and the growth story of the male protagonist has always been loaded with rich and profound cultural significance. In European and American
cultures, tramp novels, as the forerunners of modern literature, are in fact one
of the original forms of travel/journey/male growth stories in Western culture.
The theme of " searching for the father" is not only a matter of obtaining personal identity and answering "Who am I", the process of finally identifying with the mainstream/patriarchal culture and
obtaining social naming, and being given the
meaning of gaining faith and practicing life’s transcendence value by the expression of "capitalized" father/God in the Christian culture . It may be said that the story of male growth is not only an ancient literary motif, but in fact it is
one of the archetypes of Western culture. "
