Title   An Analysis of the Redemption Theme in Cormac McCarthy's The Road     

Abstract The Road，winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2007, is the masterpiece written by famous contemporary American novelist Cormac McCarthy。 The novel shows the meaning and power of redemption by reflecting the deepest sin in human beings with the distortion of humanity and the decline of morality in a post-apocalyptic environment。 Using close reading, this thesis focuses on the thematic study of the novel in terms of redemption, emphasizing that the journey made by the father and the son is not only for survival but also for spiritual redemption by each other。 On the one hand, the father’s redemption for the son is not only embodied in his saving the son’s life again and again in dangerous situations, but also reflected in his instilling the convictions of “keep going on ” and “carry the fire” into the son, leaving him an unbeatable will to live。 That’s why the son can live bravely afterwards without his father on his side。 On the other hand, born after the disaster, the son gives the father a reason to live。 Moreover, with his natural compassion and selfless spirit, the son helps his father stick to the moral bottom line in the harsh environment over and over again。 It is the mutual love and redemption between the father and his son that makes us believe there is still hope in the post-apocalyptic world。
