Montage in Literature

Montage in literature refers to a technique where different scenes, ideas, or moments are combined or juxtaposed to create a new meaning or to evoke particular emotions. It often involves linking seemingly unrelated elements to highlight contrasts, similarities, or themes, encouraging readers to interpret connections on their own. Similar to montage in film, this method can be used to efficiently convey complex ideas, simulate the passage of time, or build layered narratives by blending diverse images or narratives into a cohesive whole.
