Abstract

Abstract:
Ingeborg Bachmann, the celebrated Austrian author, in her short story “Everything”, presents a picture of the Western man of the modern age which, despite the advances in technology, is still unable to establish a reasonable and balanced relationship with humanity. She recounts the story beautifully using narrative elements in order to reveal the narrator’s mental distress. In the story, the helpless, confused, and wandering narrator in the world of contradictions is trying to escape into a new and utopian world, but, entangled in the fence of language, he continues to move in the orbit of anguish. In “Everything”, Bachmann, not pointing to the frustration of modern humans of the death of moral values ​​and spirituality, considers the main challenge of the narrator and his wife to be language and the inability to express thoughts and feelings. The present research, using the library and documentary method, and by studying the structure and content of “Everything” tries to depict the views and beliefs of this German writer and provide a critique of it.
