In The Victim, Saul Bellow tried to emphasize the consciousness of corporate responsibility among people in modern society, and he also indicated the social responsibility of an individual. The Victim’s hero Asa Levethal is chiefly troubled with two problems. One is that he is forced to accept the role as surrogate of his sick nephew and the other is about an anti-Semite. At the first time he dislikes and rejects any responsibility, but gradually he learns to accept himself and others rather than to judge and blame and he recognizes his own responsibility for individuals and his society. We can dare to say that here Saul Bellow emphasizes the awareness of human coexistence.
