Abstract
In this thesis, I examine the function of metanarratives in Doris Lessing's 1950 novel The Grass is Singing, arguing that narratives have an important function as they are used by characters to further their own interests.
Keywords: Doris Lessing, The Grass is Singing (1950), Narrative, Life narrative, metanarrative, Postcolonialism, Viktor Turner.
