| Abstract | This study tries to analyze Saul Bellow’s Seize the Day from a modernist point of view. Bellow applies some narrative techniques which closely match those of the modernist diegetic process. The narrative has a potentially representative content which opens one’s horizons toward new sources of meaning and conceptual interpretation. The focal point, in this study, is to examine the epistemological level, individualism, stream of consciousness, pessimism and irony to see how tangibly these terms agree with the very context of the above-mentioned novel and to find out whether the purely abstract terms extracted from modernist theory can be concretized in a practical form. Furthermore, this study aims at scrutinizing in detail the frequency and the possibility of the modernist narrative elements in the very fabric and texture of fictional narrative in general. |
