A Study of eugene's pressures and his release from his isolation and pressures in Thomas Wolfe's look homeward, angel

This thesis is about Eugene's isolation and pressures and his release from his
isolation and pressures. I choose this topic based on my curiosity about Eugene's
ability to survive although he was isolated and under pressure. I want to know what
pressures Eugene has and how he can be released from them. In this thesis, I want to
show Eugene's release, from an isolated and pressured boy to become a man who is
successful in his life. For my methodology, I use library research to find literary and
psychological theories to support my analysis of the novel. I am going to discuss
Eugene's pressures, in this case they are the ones caused by his family and friends and
his release from the pressures. Since Eugene is isolated and under pressure, it is
difficult for him to release himself from those obstacles, because he has no self-confidence
to do it Then, I find out that Eugene's self-confidence arises because of the
Leonards, his teachers. From this finding, I conclude that Eugene's experience with the
Leonards is the most important turning point that releases him from his isolation and
pressures.
