Abstract | ||||
The present paper tackles Jon Fosse’s “We’ll Never Be Parted” from a postmodern perspective, with a view to reflecting the worries and tragedy of loneliness suffered by the postmodern man, whose life has become an endless nightmare expressed through a series of internal monologues shared by nobody. Fosse’s play reflects his masterly use of technique, since he chooses to employ the techniques traditionally associated with the novel, like the stream of consciousness and the external omniscient narrator to help set the scene most fitting to his attempt to allow characters voice out their internal workings. Both perspective and technical innovations have been most fitting to Fosse’s attempt to create parallelism between the inside and the outside worlds, resulting in making the external action an embodiment of the internal one. The play as a whole has become a metaphor of man’s torn psychology in the postmodern period. | ||||
