Sabbath's Theater

Style and Technique

«Sabbath's Theater» by Philip Roth is characterized by a rich and provocative style that combines elements of dark humor and deep psychological drama. The language of the book is candid, sometimes coarse, but always precise and expressive, allowing the author to convey the internal conflicts and emotional experiences of the main character, Mickey Sabbath. Literary techniques include the use of stream of consciousness, flashbacks, and dialogues that reveal the complex relationships of the characters and their inner world. The narrative structure is nonlinear, with frequent shifts between past and present, emphasizing the chaotic and fragmented nature of Sabbath's life. Roth masterfully uses symbolism and metaphors to deepen the themes of sexuality, death, and moral decay.
