The Corrections is Jonathan Franzen's renowned masterpiece,which reveals the Midwestern community crisis through the miniature perspective of a family saga.By way of emotional ethics,Franzen explores the linkage between the Midwestern values and the mechanism of guilt and shame,analyzes the community crisis caused by the loss of moral agency in guilt and shame,examines the disruptive change of the guilt and shame culture under the capital expansion,and illustrates his hope of reconstructing the community of equality and care.
