Paper Summary:

The paper focuses on each of the four different types of characters James Dickey presents in his work "Deliverance". The paper describes Lewis Medlock, Drew, Bobby and Ed Gentry and highlights Dickey's message that a true survivor can only depend on himself.

From the Paper:

"Austrian-English psychoanalyst and daughter of Sigmund Freud, Anna Freud once quoted, "Creative minds have always been known to survive any kind of bad training." Even though today's society is veering away from the Darwinian Naturalist Theory of Survival of the Fittest by advancing further in the food chain, the concept of survival is still present but in a different form. The competition for survival is mostly in terms of welfare. James Dickey's Deliverance especially illustrates this fact by presenting characters with different views on life that most people can relate to. This paper will illustrate the different views presented in the novel using outside sources as a guide."
