Abstract: | This thesis is a study into Vladimir Nabokov's novel Pnin. It studies the novel's title character, Pnin who acts in a paranoid state due to his frequent deferral of hopes as he cannot adjust himself in the new surroundings in America. The dissimilarities between his hopes and the catastrophes lead him to the paranoid state of mind. He hopes for one thing, but there ensues the opposite. He mutters to himself in the great deal. Paranoia leads him to the schizophrenic condition and the absentmindedness. The cause behind his paranoia is not other than the antagonistic relation to his hopes and the real state of his life. |
