Hitler's Characterization In Seize The Day By Saul Bellow

“Seize the Day” is a novel written by Saul Bellow. It was first published in 1956. In a nutshell, the story is focused on a day in the life of Wilhelm Adler, also known as Tommy Wilhelm, and many other nicknames. Wilhelm is a man in his forties, father to two kids and a college drop-out; he has recently separated from his wife and got the sack from his job as a salesman. Tommy is in love with a woman named Olive who he cannot marry given the fact that his wife does not want to divorce him. The story is told throughout the main character’s thoughts and many flashbacks. The main character is unhappy and, at some point, in search of help.

Also from this, one could understand that he is quite afraid to stand up for himself. In addition to this, Wilhelm does not believe in himself considering that, at first, he states that his mistakes were due “to idiocy” and, later on, he changes his mind and says all was due to “bad luck”. His father does acknowledge his change of mind and clearly points it out by simply saying: “So! It’s bad luck, now. A minute ago was
