Abstract. The American Dream is the thought of everyone having the same chance of
becoming successful. Walt Whitman’s perspective of the American Dream is working hard will
help you achieve a better life. Langston Hughes’s perspective of the American Dream is to have
equality throughout the American society. While both Whitman and Hughes are similar in their
belief in the promise of the American Dream, they are different in their perspective of its reality.
Key words: Walt Whitman, “Leaves of grass”, American dream, father of free verse.
«АМЕРИКАНСКАЯ МЕЧТА» В СТИХАХ УОЛТА УИТМЕНА
Аннотация. Американская мечта – это мысль о том, что у всех одинаковые шансы
добиться успеха. Взгляд Уолта Уитмена на американскую мечту: усердная работа
поможет вам добиться лучшей жизни. С точки зрения Лэнгстона Хьюза американская
мечта заключается в обеспечении равенства во всем американском обществе. Хотя и
Уитмен, и Хьюз схожи в своей вере в перспективы американской мечты, они различаются
в своем взгляде на ее реальность.
Ключевые слова: Уолт Уитмен, «Листья травы», американская мечта, отец
свободного стиха.
Walt Whitman, often called the "father of free verse," was an American poet whose work
is deeply rooted in the ideals of the American Dream. His poetry reflects the values of democracy,
individualism, and the pursuit of happiness that have come to define the American Dream.

unconventional and groundbreaking approach to themes such as nature, the individual, democracy,
and the human experience.
Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" is celebrated for its free verse style and its deeply personal
exploration of the human condition. The book underwent several revisions throughout Whitman's
life, with the final edition containing over 400 poems. The poet's use of free verse and his candid
exploration of themes that were considered controversial at the time, such as sexuality and the
div, challenged traditional poetic conventions and had a profound impact on American literature.

In many of his poems, Whitman celebrates the diversity and freedom that America offers.
He saw the country as a place where people from all walks of life could come together and create
a new society based on equality and justice. Whitman's famous collection of poems, "Leaves of
Grass," captures the essence of the American Dream through its exploration of the human
experience and the connection between the individual and the larger community.
One of Whitman's most famous poems, "Song of Myself," is a celebration of the individual
and an affirmation of the interconnectedness of all people. The poem's speaker revels in the beauty
of the world and the diversity of human experience, embracing all aspects of life and declaring, "I
am large, I contain multitudes."
Whitman also addressed the darker side of the American Dream in his work,
acknowledging the struggles and inequalities that exist within society. In "I Hear America
Singing," he depicts the lives of ordinary workers, celebrating their contributions to the country
and acknowledging their resilience in the face of adversity. Whitman's bold embrace of all aspects
of human experience, including the physical, the spiritual, and the democratic, continues to be a
source of inspiration for Americans. His vision of an inclusive and expansive American identity,
rooted in the connections between the individual and the broader society, remains relevant and
influential to this day.
Overall, Whitman's poetry reflects a deep belief in the potential for America to be a land
of opportunity and freedom for all. His work embodies the spirit of the American Dream,
emphasizing the importance of individuality, equality, and the pursuit of a better life. Whitman's
vision of America continues to resonate with readers today, reminding us of the enduring power
of the American Dream and the values that define it. "Leaves of Grass" has left an indelible mark
on American literature and culture. Its celebration of diversity, democracy, and the human spirit
has resonated with generations of readers and has become an enduring symbol of American literary
achievement.
