Post-Apocalyptic Fragmented Lives and Tenacious Communities: Trauma and Resilience in Station Eleven

Literature is an artistic expression of real life experiences, situations, incidents which are well articulated and combined together in the form of fictional products. Therefore, literature reflects the narrative on violence, war, terrorism, communal violence, partition, natural disasters and romance and many other issues highlighted through Literature. Station Eleven’s narrative dwells upon the civilization that gets lost completely during the Pandemic and the characters well describe and represent the psychological disorders they undergo during the time when they face everything at an extreme level. The challenging part about the scenario is that nobody knows how to get a hold on to the situation. The Abnormalities, Change in behaviour, Obsession with Art, Death and Loss of Civilisation portrays how Trauma arises in individual characters’ minds. The first time the word Trauma originated from the Greek term titrōskein, meaning ‘wound’ in 1693.
