| Abstract: | The research paper is a work to understand the theory of subjectivity in designing one’s identity in a postmodern world and how the factors challenging identity is represented through Dark comedy. The Research problem in this project is the complication produced by giving an elevated position to the dark humour and it’s far reaching impact on the modern as well as postmodern lives. Comedy as a genre is treated in a minimal level serving the purpose of laughter only. The Research gaps found in the paper might be due to the absence of quantitative data, but the following objective aims to fulfil the paper’s purpose such as to address the significance of comedy as a serious genre and transforming serious issues to a lighter one. It also focuses on analysing the problems of loss, internal conflict, and traumas of the characters in relation to a postmodern world which is enhanced by cultural and capitalist institutions. Another significant tenet is to depict the experimental mode undertaken by female writers to blend both tragedy and serious humour as opposed to limitations set by male writers. This experimental research sheds light on the use of dark humour amalgamated with personal inner conflicts especially through the lens of three female writers Barbara Pym, Iris Murdoch and Muriel Sparks- all of them less dominating yet experimental female writers. The concept of humour is always used as a channel to trivialise the significant, hard and complex issues pertaining to one’s life. Here the female writers have inadvertently highlighted the essence of bringing madness in sharing their life traumas. An attempt to evoke laughter not because of the lightness of their circumstances but due to the burden and intensity of their pain and providing pleasure to the readers by substantiating it with bitter sweet comedy. |
