الملخص الإنجليزي

The current study examines how Amis’s lucky Jim provides double modes between comedy and seriousness at the same time.

The study deals with criticizing the ground realities of the sociocultral and educational aspects of the British lifestyle in the period after the Second World War.

As a result, the study reveals the reflection of the social hierarchies in the British community as a main predicament affecting the lower-middle class people and their simple aspirations and dreams of a decent living.

From this angle, lucky Jim expresses Amis’s anger and dissatisfaction with the world around him.

In doing so, the study describes the events of the novel by quoting, and analysing them to encrust the combination between the apparent comedy and the embedded seriousness in Lucky Jim.

The setting of the novel lies in an unnamed provincial university and its main characters who are introduced as members in this university.

The general impression one gets out of this microcosm is that it is a genuine picture of the British academy in the years following the hectic years of the Second World War.
