Abstract

This article aims to study plot and composition technique influencing signification of denotative meaning and connotative meaning or mythology in Sai-duan Tabod Nai Kao Wongkot or “Blind Mask in the Maze”, the first novel of Veeraporn Nitiprapa. A love triangle taken place in Thai society is used as the plot of the story. The technique of anti-realism in form of storyline rejection is used with symbol, word choice, narration, and plot twist. The readers are able to interpret both denotative meaning and connotative meaning or mythology through beliefs and culture illustrated in the story. The purpose of the use of anti-realism may be to arouse reader’s emotion which is the result of cognition use.
