| Abstract | ||||
| The present paper tackle 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 a series of internal monologues shared by nobody. Fosse’s play reflects the author’s masterly view on technique since he chooses to employ the techniques of novel, like the stream of consciousness and the external omniscient narrator to help set the scene to fit his attempt to allow characters voice out their internal workings. Both perspective and technical innovations of Fosse have managed to make 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. The present paper is an analysis of Jon Fosse’s narrative drama with a view to commenting on the technical innovations he introduces in the field of contemporary drama. As a matter of fact, he is such a daring playwright, venturing into new realms of techniques. Consequently, his daring attempts won him the Nobel Prize in novel. Here, I try to show how his novelties have been seen most fitting to express the agony of postmodern man; namely, the use of stream of consciousness narrative reminiscences, fragmentary dialogues, miscommunication, dramatization of psychology, and the use of universal type. | ||||
