| Abstract: | In contemporary culture and literature representation is an interesting and challenging issue. This paper presents theoretical aspects of representation, definition and connected concepts, illustrated in a brief discussion of Ian McEwan’ s novel Atonement. The systems of representation do not only mirror reality, but construct the mechanisms through which humans understand and process the information coming from the exterior. Ian McEwan explores the diversity and power of impact of these mechanisms. His characters face, imagine and shape reality at the same time. |
