Abstract

What separates the "reality" from "fiction"? These concepts are problematic because there is no "fiction" apart from the social and cultural context that defines a particular "reality". On the other hand, such "realities", constituted and organized in the form of texts, never exist without "fictional" narratives, such as historical, cultural or literary. It is these complexities of historical fiction and psychological reality that we find in Christa Wolf’s Cassandra (1983). In this essay I will analyze the five parts of this book as an intellectual and literary story that reflects its novelistic achievement as much as the personal process of its author to research, reflect and create her fiction. This reading aims to reveal the textual and narrative processes used by Wolf in order to express a specific female identity among the fragments of a modern generation that questions the validity of the classical tradition and its "fictional realities."
