Abstract:In all his life’s writing, Philip Roth lays emphasis on corporeal narrative and many of his works are of classical corporeal narration. His corporeal narrative includes sex narrative, aging narrative, disease narrative and death narrative, from which a study on being, ethic, and identity can help us fully and completely understand Roth’s writing. Through corporeal narrative, Roth expresses his caring of and sympathy with human’s being, a free ethic, contemporary people’s identity dilemma, and probes how to rebuild identity. Roth’s corporeal narrative is influenced by Kafka, Freud and has strong features of modernity. His works is an embodiment of his pursuit for freedom and truth.
