Each individual is inflicted by suffering in this chaotic world. All are its victims irrespective of its degree from one man to another. One’s life cannot be sailed normally. A man can achieve moral growth by redeeming himself through his sufferings because he accepts everything as a part of his life. Moreover, his quest for a successful life sometimes fails and he finally achieves a moral self-realization for a new meaningful life through his past experiences. The present aim of this paper is to trace the journey of sufferings of the protagonist of The Natural written by Bernard Malamud.
