Analysis

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Normal People," by Sally Rooney, is a story about the complex relationship between Marianne and Connell, two young people from a small town in Ireland. Their connection begins in high school, where social dynamics and unspoken anxieties create a confusing push and pull between them. The story follows their journey as they transition to university life in Dublin, experiencing both periods of intense closeness and painful separation. Throughout their interactions, the power dynamics between them shift and evolve, revealing a deeper vulnerability beneath their carefully constructed facades. Rooney explores themes of social class, love, intimacy, and the search for identity, offering a nuanced portrayal of the challenges of communication and the enduring nature of human connection.
