Abstract
This paper attempts to establish that the theme of victimization is prominent in Walker Percy’s The Moviegoer. The protagonist of The Moviegoer, Binx Bolling is the victims of the change in the cultural outlook in South where man is becoming more and more money conscious, self-centred having attraction for the luxuries and physical satisfactions. Percy’s protagonist gets abstracted in this world by the cultural and scientific revolutions in America. He suffers because he is lost in the fantasies of the new world. He recovers at the end of this novel by realizing the reality of the changing world in which he is fated to live.
