Tokarczuk's 'The Empusium' proposes a world influenced by myth and surrealism, contrasting typical bildungsromans by inviting readers to embrace an illogical, mystical universe.
Through her narrative, Tokarczuk suggests that instead of solely relying on reason, readers can enrich their understanding by engaging with the supernatural and the absurd.
The narrative of 'The Empusium' takes place in a chaotic setting where the standard markers of rationality are challenged, inviting readers to explore deeper mythological themes.
In a departure from novels like Northanger Abbey, which emphasize rationality, Tokarczuk foregrounds a worldview where surrealism and folklore dominate, reshaping character development.
