Kang, Kwansoo. “The Politics of Melodrama in The Little Foxes.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 40.2 (2014): 1-28. American South becomes industrialized and drastically changed in the 1900s, and The Little Foxes portrays this change in a melodramatic way. In The Little Foxes, there is a melodramatic polarization of good and evil, which shows the fierce conflicts and the power games between the predatory capitalists and the liberal humanists. The predatory capitalists are portrayed as the melodramatic villains in this work. The Little Foxes focuses on these capitalists' rise to power and their insatiable greeds. “Little foxes” is a metaphor for the predatory capitalists who destroy the harmonious community to satisfy their greed. In order to protect the harmonious community from these predators, the liberal humanists fight against them. Hellman shows a power game between these two groups in a melodramatic way, but she actively use melodramatic methods to show the social realities in the 1900s. Her melodrama cannot be divorced from a realistic representation of the world. The divided groups are the political and social forces in the real world. (Shingyeong University)
