Conceptualizing Bipolar Disorders in Martin Amis's the Pregnant Widow: A Psychosomatic Response

Sambhunath Maji

Abstract :

Disorder, whether in human world or in the world of nature, is meaningfully incorporated and treated in literature. The reception of such disorders in the human world has seen a dynamic change. The approach is now more rational and the presentation is more scientific. This article will clarify the possibility of the understanding of bipolar disorders and its implementation in fiction. In this paper our focus will be on the operating factors of such disorders. This research will also investigate the way in which contemporary British novelist Martin Amis has integrated such disorders in his latest fiction The Pregnant Widow.
