The most experimental narrative strategies in Modernist fiction

The most experimental narrative strategies in Modernist fiction disrupt the concept of plot, space and time to enter characters’ inner reality.

It follows that external reality is replaced by the private room of conscience which implies a simultaneous idea of time, rendered through the eclipse of the narrator, the use of free indirect speeches in the interior monologue and the stream of consciousness, the leitmotiv and the focus on moments of being or epiphanies to convey the utmost moment of existence.

Plot is reduced to the minimum to allow subjective dynamics to come to surface.
