Postmodern literature challenges traditional storytelling, fixed truths, and heroic ideals. In this video, we explore two major features of postmodernism — Lyotard’s idea of metanarratives and narrative fragmentation with the rise of the anti-hero — using famous literary examples.
🌍 Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys is used to show how postmodern writing questions “grand narratives” like colonial authority and cultural superiority by retelling history from a marginalized perspective.
🧩 Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut and Catch-22 by Joseph Heller demonstrate postmodern fragmentation — broken timelines, non-linear storytelling, absurd war experiences — and the emergence of the anti-hero, characters who reject traditional ideas of bravery and heroism.
