Metro 2033

Style and Technique

In «Metro 2033», Dmitry Glukhovsky employs a dark and atmospheric style that underscores the post-apocalyptic setting of the Moscow Metro. The language of the work is rich with descriptions that create a sense of claustrophobia and hopelessness. The author actively uses metaphors and symbolism to convey the depth of human emotions and philosophical reflections on life and death. The narrative structure is non-linear, with numerous flashbacks and parallel storylines, allowing for a deeper exploration of the characters and their motivations. Glukhovsky also uses dialogues to create realism and immersion in a world where every survivor has their own story and perspective on events.
