Abstract

This paper explores the character of Mickey Sabbath in Philip Roth's novel "Sabbath'sTheater." Mickey Sabbath is shown as a multi-faceted and ethically grey figure who questionsconventional ideas of bravery. This article explores Mickey Sabbath's character through his hopelessness, arrogance, sexism, and misanthropy. It delves into the contradictory nature of Sabbath's attraction by exploring how readers are both attracted to and rejected by him. This paper examines how Sabbath's trip shapes the story and how the reader views the antihero. Considering all this, the article provides an in-depth analysis of Mickey Sabbath and his role in Roth's plan
