Description
This article examines the function and significance of fragmentation in several postmodern English novels, focusing in particular on The French Lieutenant’s Woman, Midnight’s Children, White Noise, and Atonement. The article examines how fragmentation, in addition to being a stylistic device, serves as a philosophical and cultural response to the chaotic nature of truth, identity, and history in the postmodern era. Using textual analysis and comparative methodology, the study demonstrates how fragmented narrative structures reflect the fractured experience of modern life. The results suggest that the aesthetics and ideological concerns of postmodern English fiction revolve around fragmentation.
