| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 外國語文研究所 === 104 === Jonathan Safran Foer, a Jewish-American writer who goes to Ukraine to seek for a place called Trachimbrod, creates the novel, Everything Is Illuminated. Dividing the novel into three genres (letter, novel, and magic realism), Foer raises the problem of identity of the third-generation descendants of the Holocaust victims and perpetrators and the issue of the possibility of forgiveness between them. In the thesis, I am going to define the third-generation descendants of the Holocaust victims and perpetrators, examine the basic features and problems of forgiveness, and thus use the discussions to analyze Foer’s novel, Everything Is Illuminated.
