Under the shadow of Ronald Barth
• A reader has to find out the hidden meaning in the text.
• Reader has to eliminate the author from the text.
• Pynchon does not provide complete meaning in the text and he hides
reality from audience
• So reader has to explore the deep meaning
Distortion of Natural Phenomenon
Pynchon provide distorted from of nature
In the novel reader will find that nature was not in a refined or complete
form
For example,
Romantic features in distorted way
Imagination
Escape
Nature vs Man
Lack of realism
• Pynchon rejects reality in his work
• There is lack of reality in this work
Lack of mental understanding
• Character remained in constant struggle to understand the situations
•
World Wars
All the characters were obsessed with world wars.
They always talks about world war because they were obsessed with this
concepts.
Modern vs Post modern era
Some people believe that modern and post modern both are different
But Lyotard believed that post modern is the part of modernism
Post modernism rejects the technology but here in this novel all the
characters were influenced by technology.
Their live revolved around machines
So, when Lyotard says that modernism represents all the unrepresentable
in representable way.
In the novel modernism is also reflected
