Abstract

John Banville was born in Wexford, Ireland in
(1945). He is a novelist of ambition who cherished all
works of literature of high imagination as well as craft
and experimentation. He turned to literature itself as a
source of imagination and aspiration for his fiction.
Banville’s novels offer a difficulty to the reader,
since he uses many images, metaphors, puns, indirect
narration as, in other words, dramatisation with a shift
in time, which tests the reader’s awareness and holds
his attention all through, i.e. He writes for the high-·
brow reader. The stream of consciousness also added
to the complex style. The voices of his narrators, or the
mouthpieces, that he uses, are a/l modem in their
sense of rejection and anger at the absurdity and
misery of the world.
In this thesis, an attempt will be made to highlight
on six of Banville’s novels in tenns of themes,
charweterisation and technique. The thesis will be
divided into three chapters and a conclusion.
