| Popis: | The interrogation and analysis of 'Self' in Robert Lowell's Sonnet Reading Myself is the research statement. Jean Francois Lyotard proposed the idea of 'Delegitimation' of Grand Narratives in Modern Times (1). This concept of Delegitimation gives power to an individual to narrate her or his self and gives complete control to have his power. The introspection of self in Robert Lowell's sonnet is analyzed critically in this postmodern sense. It aims at the liberation from the fixed system of beliefs or stereotypical norms of the society in writing a literary piece by analyzing the lines of the sonnet in a postmodernist way. Specifically, the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of reducing inequality is examined through the poet’s self in the paradoxical situation in a postmodern sense. It also questions the paradoxical existence and experiences faced by the poet in his life. The realisation of the self is significant in the present world gives the individual the freedom to create equal space for himself and others in society. |
