Solitude and the Manifestations of the Solitary Characters in Selected Short Stories: An Interdisciplinary Study (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798823088534)

Solitude is the state of being alone or isolated from others. It is often a voluntary choice for meditation, introspection, reflection, or simply enjoying one's own company. Solitude can be peaceful and conducive to deep thinking or creativity, contrasting with loneliness, which implies a negative feeling of being alone and disconnected. This book investigates the types of solitude in twelve modern short stories written by authors of different nationalities, races, and genders. It also explores how the setting boosts the state of solitude of each character. There are different manifestations of solitude and the solitary character: a person living among other people, refusing to be part of them, unwilling to be part of them, or being refused and rejected to be part of them. This character is a child, a teenager, a man (or an abnormal, freakish man) or a woman of sorrow, a recipient of much unbearable pain.
