J.G. Ballard's "Empire Of The Sun": Jim's Metamorphosis
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Interpretive literature encompasses myriad existential elements that directly relate to character development; indeed, it is not merely a compilation of dates and events, but rather it is an exploration of humanity's spiritual side sometimes gone awry. Such is the case with J.G. Ballard's Empire of the Sun, inasmuch as this literary masterpiece shares the common denominator of achieving self-awareness and wholeness so prevalent in war stories. The very process of living life and expanding one's existence has often been perceived as a rebirth of sorts, with Ballard taking the concept to an infinitely high level of appreciation with Jim, his primary character. By embracing this inherent – and often esoteric – power, the reader is able to grasp a significantly better understanding of Jim's developing self-awareness and wholeness. No additional sources cited.
