Abstract

The paper presents a critical review on Fredric Jameson’s theory of postmodernity and postmodern realism illustrating them by two popular plays The Hairy Ape and Final Solutions. The process followed the neurocognitive approach to close reading of literary texts. The neurocognitive approach questions how habits of mind are changed in the course of time. This change is traceable in portrayal of characters and narratives of any literary text. The argument is that postmodern realism is depicted in the plays to represent that unique change in habits of mind as an impact of a neurocognitive phenomenon. This work is determined by the process of reading, analyzing, and interpreting literary texts, following qualitative research methodology. The hypothesis is that Mahesh Dattani's Final Solutions represent Fredric Jameson’s theory of postmodern realism and the realities of a contemporary global society
