It specifically reflects the identity crisis and the tragic fate of an Other of black ethnicity in face of white power discourse, and subtly depicts the identity alienation and existential tragedy of a female Other in face of white male discourse. The flexible application of different narrative angles and the crafty variations among them deepen the ethnic identity crisis and the female existential tragedy in the novel, foregrounding its thematic meaning and social significance. The narrative writing in the novel indicates that Philip Roth is not only a narrative master skillfully and flexibly using various narrative techniques but also a great novelist with acute observation and severe critique for racial discrimination and power discourse in contemporary American society.
