The Deconstruction of Integrity by Polyphonic Narration in Gondal Poetry

Emily Bronte, a 19th-century English novelist who is famous for her Wuthering Heights, can also boast of her genuine poetic talents. In her poems, she has absorbed the essence of Romanticism in poetry, while her unique personality and isolated lifestyle have marginalized her writings. In her Gondal poetry, the multi-perspective and polyphonic narration has deconstructed the integrity produced by the traditional narrative techniques, thereby penetrated deep into the nature of existence and a sense of nihilism is thus revealed. The paper is devoted to the discussion and elaboration of the polyphonic narration employed in two narrative sequences in Gondal poetry.
