In English literature, men of modern civilization are shown on many occasions as experiencing the futility and misery of modern existence. In this regard Saul Bellow‟s Seize the Day is worth-mentioning. In this text Bellow has shown a man‟s indescribable sufferings in the shape of excruciating isolation in a capitalistic American society of modern civilization. Inversing the right course of action, in a capitalistic or modern society matters or money are given far more importance than human affairs and humanity. This inversion predictably gives rise to acute isolation and sufferings. In accordance with it, Saul Bellow in Seize the Day depicts the protagonist Tommy Wilhelm, a modern man, as finding himself in a diametric alienation resulting from the absence of meaningful relations with family, society, workplace and state. This paper aims at exploring how in Saul Bellow‟s Seize the Day a modern man Tommy Wilhelm becomes the victim of severe sufferings due to allout isolation in a human-reluctant modern society where modernization reconstructs a human self and human society replacing irreplaceable human virtues with material considerations.
