Read the paragraph and try to put into your own words; what was postmodernism about?
After the series of human rights violations that occurred during and after World War II (including the Holocaust, the atomic bombings of Japan, and Japanese internment in the US), writers began to feel as if meaning was an impossible quest, and that the only way to move forward was to embrace meaninglessness fully.
Slide 23 - Slide
Postmodern authors tend to reject outright meanings in their novels, stories and poems, and, instead, highlight and celebrate the possibility of multiple meanings, or a complete lack of meaning, within a single literary work.
In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Nick does not intentionally deceive the reader. However, his own opinions color the way he tells the story. He claims not to judge characters, but the way he describes them plainly indicates that he does judge them.
