- Abstract
When many other 20th century English novels focus on social documentary, Iris Murdoch, attaches more concerns with an extraordinary reality: modern industry corrupts human beings’ moral sensibility. Adopting the myth and archetypal criticism as the theoretical basis for the study, this paper intends to analyse classical themes and explore Iris Murdoch’s understanding of moral and artistic goodness.
