Style and Technique

The novel «Human Acts» by Han Kang is distinguished by its deep psychological insight and emotional intensity. The author's style is characterized by conciseness and precision, allowing the complex emotions and experiences of the characters to be conveyed. The language of the work is rich with metaphors and symbols, which enhance the drama and tragedy of the events. Literary techniques such as stream of consciousness and shifting perspectives are used to create a multifaceted perception of the unfolding events. The narrative structure is nonlinear, allowing the reader to gradually uncover the story through different viewpoints and time frames. This contributes to a deeper understanding of the characters' inner worlds and the historical context of the events.
