The human brain need structure and truth to organize senses and live. There will be turmoil in the person's head if the truth is disrupted by a portrayal that prompts them to doubt their preconceptions. As a result, they will be able to continually reexamine their conception of the truth. Briony is unable to deal with conflicts in the story, so she imposes an interpretation sequence of events. When reading the third section of Atonement, the reader assumes a version of the truth that Robbie and Celia will reconnect, but then has to acknowledge the untruth of their assumption. Briony tells that Robbie and Celia died before they could be reunited. Such an unraveling version of the reality forces the reader to reevaluate earlier ideas and returns to events in the story in order to make sense of occurrences. For the reader, the only existing reality is a constructed made up truth since humans need to feed their sense of order.]]> 2022-07-25 18:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/hencolamprecht99/8q8rbgkh03pl05tr/wish/2249422081 hencolamprecht99 https://padlet.com/hencolamprecht99/8q8rbgkh03pl05tr/wish/2249423561 Robbie and Cecilia have distinct reading tastes; they like eighteenth-century books. Cecilia is tired of Samuel Richardson's Clarissa and would much prefer read Fielding (McEwan, 2001:15). Fielding has more energy for Robbie, although he may be psychologically rough as compared to Richardson" (McEwan 2001: 25). The Trails of Arabella, Briony's melodrama, is a reference to Samuel Richardson's Clarissa. Arabella, the melodrama's heroine, is Clarissa's sister. The reader will be reminded of the novel Clarissa, which is described in the description of Cecilia's life after graduating from Cambridge and remaining at home reading Clarissa. McEwan took the concept of a youngster moving between two lovers passing messages back and forth from L.P. Hartley's work The Go-Between and Henry James' novel "What Maise Knew". The novel's postmodern identity is ensured by the mix of many allusions.]]> 2022-07-25 18:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/hencolamprecht99/8q8rbgkh03pl05tr/wish/2249423561 hencolamprecht99 https://padlet.com/hencolamprecht99/8q8rbgkh03pl05tr/wish/2249424324 Atonement is a metafictional novel because McEwan addresses problems such as imagination, writing, and the meaning of truth. Imagination is essential in helping the novel progress to the last incident. Briony, the protagonist and underlying writer with a crazy imagination, best represents imagination. Briony's fabricated account of the fountain scenario is her first misperception, which serves as the foundation for her delusions. Briony is unable to separate her infantile beliefs from reality and regards Robbie as a risk to Cecilia. Briony's imagination causes a calamity by altering Cecilia and Robbie's fates, as well as her own, forcing her to atone for her error for the rest of her life. She interprets events in her own manner and only sees what she wants to see. Briony's imagination, dreams, and misconceptions lead to a misunderstanding of others' lives, blurring the boundary between fiction and reality. A marriage proposal, exactly like the poor woodcutter in her story (McEwan, 2001:21). Briony then assumes Robbie tells Cecilia to undress by imperiously lifting his hands as if delivering a command that Cecilia dares not refuse (McEwan, 2001: 21). Briony wonders what odd influence he have over her. Blackmail? Threats? 21 (McEwan, 2001)]]> 2022-07-25 18:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/hencolamprecht99/8q8rbgkh03pl05tr/wish/2249424324 hencolamprecht99 https://padlet.com/hencolamprecht99/8q8rbgkh03pl05tr/wish/2249424808 2022-07-25 18:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/hencolamprecht99/8q8rbgkh03pl05tr/wish/2249424808
