In the beginning of the novel, a book is read, the reader starts to question the book, as exercised by Briony. The girl is described to have a lively imagination and likes to write about the world and how she sees it. In the play that she is writing, she makes a point to express her obsession to have order in life. 

Language also plays a role when discussing the postmodern theory of truth. Language can be the instrument that drives and creates the world and the facts around it, even though it cold be false. In Atonement the language that Briony uses does not let the reader to the real factors of the story. The reader have other interpretations of some words.

What you hear, see and read can differ. In Atonement the truth is questionable because of the use of unreliable narration that comes forth through mental illness, lies and claims that are not true. ]]> 2022-07-25 20:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/35310413/7og0apds0vua809h/wish/2249458146 How does Atonement encompasses the genre of postmodernism 35310413 https://padlet.com/35310413/7og0apds0vua809h/wish/2249459075 2022-07-25 20:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/35310413/7og0apds0vua809h/wish/2249459075 Atonement as metafiction 35310413 https://padlet.com/35310413/7og0apds0vua809h/wish/2249459308 Early in the novel, 13-year-old Briony Tallis, while alone in 
her room, wonders whether everyone else could in fact be as ‘alive’ as she. This is a sign of metafiction - having fiction within fiction.

Otherness is also a sign of metafiction. She struggle to have authority of her thoughts.  Watching  from her bedroom window when Robbie Turner and her sister Cecilia becomes intimate.

Briony’s illusion culminates with her assertion that he has witnessed Robbie Turner raping her cousin Lola. Her mind and thoughts and stories runs away with her and leads to serious consequences.
