| Summary: | Adolescents play an integral role in Carson McCullers' work, particularly The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, The Member of the Wedding, and Clock Without Hands. In these novels the characterizations of Mick, Frankie, Jester, and Sherman are drawn with an intuitive awareness of principles of adolescent psychology. McCullers focuses on the expectations, uncertainties, and contradictions of the adolescent years. However, her novels are much more than stories of troubled teens. Largely because of their adolescent characteristics, Nick, Frankie, Jester, and Sherman serve as fitting symbolic vehicles for McCullers' exploration of such ageless themes as the search for self and the search for love. | |
