Atonement, on the contrary, describes war and love, and deeply discussed about the social class contradiction and is filled with strong humanistic care. The “book within book” structure represents the superb narrative strategies the writer used. Among them, “unreliable narrative” is an important one. It has great impact on representing the main idea and producing aesthetic effects. To learn narrative technique further, the thesis will discuss the unreliable narrative according to the text, and put emphasis on the attendance and influence of reader to learn the implication of the novel.
