“Do you like what you see?”
In order to illustrate a clear narrative voice, one which appears gauche and socially inept, I decided to use two structural techniques: ruptured linearity and the caesura. By severing the narrative chronology and breaking the paragraphs into smaller sections, the dysfunctional behaviour of the protagonist is reiterated, creating a surrealist effect.The boy’s going off track as he speaks to God in church is symbolic of the generic decline in religious faith of humanity.The leitmotif of the egg is also symbolic, paving the way for the quintessence of the story: the philosophical dilemma of what came first, the chicken or the egg?
