Abstract :

The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje is a bildungsoraman novel in which each character narrating his/her story from their genesis. Geographical boarders on map divided territory as well as mankind. Here, we found that each character has having his/her story which is totally paradoxical to one another. Even though, they are living under the same roof but there is no linearity/harmony/union/tuning/correlation. Each character believes that life means, a huge amount of sufferings, pains and predicaments and there is no scope to survive into. One has to keep on moving by creating an illusion that one is alive in him/her who wants to reach somewhere but ultimately it has no foundation to its zenith.
