Atonement not only dramatizes in its plot, but self-consciously illustrates at the level of its style of prose narrative in which attention is directed to the process of fictive composition. McEwan's(the writer) metafictional strategies call attention to the many changes Briony made to her manuscript in her attempt to make amends for the wrong things she has done. The epilogue in the novel is what makes the text a metafiction, rather than a novel with metafictional asides. It contains multiple references involved in writing a convincing piece of fiction. the metafiction of the novel-Atonement links to Briony's own writing achievement. Her writing helps the writer to address the arguments for and arguments against the fiction and its relationship to reality.
