Therefore relationship between the reader and the writer becomes a surprisingly strong relationship that never excavates into anything more than a readers escape from reality. As Vladimir Nabokov once said; "There are three points of view from which a writer can be considered: he may be considered as a storyteller, as a teacher, and as an enchanter. A major writer combines these three- Storyteller, teacher, enchanter- but it is the enchanter in him that predominates and makes him a major writer" Reading modern literature however does the opposite. It provokes thought and evaluation of reality. These stories create an entire new world for readers and explores fictional people/circumstances from a "realistic" lens that they can or cannot relate to in a completely different way than they have ever before. Reading is a muse and escape for many just like many other forms of the arts; modern writers strived to outvie the romantic perspective from literature by conquering fictional literature with modern influence.
Some of the ways this was accomplished was through through the form and the substance of the plot in their stories regardless of their approach. Many of these provoke a necessary analytical skepticism to underlying issues of society within their work. Modernism, as a literary style is built upon the ideas and concepts found in both literary naturalism and realism; All together the beliefs in these theories reject the basis and ideals of romanticism. The rise of philosophical skepticism and theories such as existentialism, and empiricism were also some of the aspects that inspired writers who were in the height of the career during these philosophical revolutions in society. The modernist approach is considerably less restrictive compared to pre- modern conventional styles of writing. .
Each of the modern writers mentioned have their own unique identity when it comes to writing, and a vast variation in the structure of each of their stories as well.
