Abstract EN
The current paper is titled Uncertainty of theme in the postmodernist fiction: The case of Pynchon's Entropy.
It aims at clarifying how features of postmodernist text have an impact on theme production.
Language is alienated as it does not refer to the conscious world.
However, it refers to unconscious world which is characterized by cryptic and it does not make a sense of the world.
The scope of the study throws light on the features of postmodernism to show how psychological factors are employed in the text and the functions of its stylistic features.
It is hypothesized that damage in man's psyche has influenced postmodernist short story.
The paper consists of four sections; the first section discusses the term Postmodernism as a concept.
It explores how postmodernism views history and culture.
The second section discusses the psychic elements employed in the short story to project man’s psyche under the pressure of conflicting great powers.
The third sheds light on the stylistic features, writers have used at variance with the ones used in realist and modernist texts to gain particular needs.
The conclusion recapitulates the finding of three sections.
Finally, the paper provides recommendations for further researches.
