Abstract
Reading Walt Whitman is like opening a big album of life with the ‘self’ as the
axis around which the whole world revolves. Whitman is not only the lover and
the redeemer of the body and the soul but also of life in all its form. The purpose
of this study is to explore how Whitman — the happy-go-round person, who
enjoyed life with all, hailing the workers, appreciating the beauties and love of
nature, loafing in grass while celebrating his independence — reacted when he
came in contact with the miseries of life around him. “Song of Myself” is a
miniature portrayal of America of his time. In it, he has managed to depict
almost all the aspects of its life.
