摘要

“垮掉的一代”是杰克•凯鲁亚克首先提出来的，并且他的《在路上》是“垮掉的一代”文学中最重要的作品。

迪恩是凯鲁亚克小说《在路上》的主人翁，他是以“垮掉的一代”典型现实人物尼尔•卡萨迪为原型的。

此外凯鲁亚克是这部作品中萨尔的原型，艾伦•金斯伯格是卡罗•马克斯的原型。

作品中迪恩是垮掉派的领头人物。

具备着垮掉的一代所有典型特征。

他集天使与恶魔于一身，他吸毒、酗酒、偷窃、颓废、放纵、离经叛道、桀骜不驯、无恶不作，但他同时也温柔善良﹑执着坚毅、无所畏惧、热血沸腾、充满激情、赋有魅力，让周围所有男男女女都为他着迷。

然而作者却说这个“疯子”是那个时代唯一清醒的人。

以迪恩为代表的垮掉的一代的形成有其特定的社会和历史文化背景，这一代的特征也远比一般的堕落更复杂。

本文旨在从迪恩这一典型人物的性格分析入手，了解真正的迪恩，并剖析垮掉一代的真正内涵。
