约瑟夫·奥尼尔借奥德修斯神话建构《地之国》的框架,并使之成为小说的潜文本。汉斯对板球梦想之追寻,拓宽了其人生的视野升华了其生命的意义;他在“地之国”的漫游反映9·11后其内心的迷茫与困惑,揭示其现实生存境遇,亦使其探寻家庭的温馨与人生的意义;他最终回归伊萨卡——伦敦,完成其追寻、漫游与回归的人生历程。通过重返与复归奥德修斯的神话模式,奥尼尔意在拓宽和延展小说的视界,使之升华而具有普遍性和永恒性,从而使后9·11时代的人类摆脱恐惧与焦虑,获得精神的慰藉与心灵的自由。同时,奥尼尔的人文主义情怀亦彰显于其中矣。

Hans pursues the dream of cricket and broadens the horizon of his life to elevate the meaning of his life. His romance in “The Country of the Land” reflects the confusion and perplexity in his heart after September 11, revealing its real-life situation It also explores the importance of family warmth and life; he eventually returns to Ithaca - London to complete his journey of pursuing, roaming and returning. Through the mythological model of returning to and returning to Odysseus, O’Neill intends to broaden and extend the horizon of the novel so as to attain its universality and eternity, thereby freeing mankind after 9 · 11 times from fear and anxiety and gaining the spirit Consolation and spiritual freedom. In the meantime, O’Neill’s humanistic sentiment is also manifest.
