John Fowles is one of the representative English writers in the postmodern age of the twentieth century. He is known as an existentialist and metafiction writer in England. Fowles started writing novels in the 1950s. He was interested in human self-consciousness and depictions of himself as a novelist. He also wanted to incorporate both style and theme in his texts. The theory of evolution emerged in the nineteenth century and influenced English social classism. This theory is the most important criterion to define Fowles’s view of his third novel, The French Lieutenant’s Woman. Evolution is inherent in this novel in that a novel and a writer need to evolve to survive in times of uncertainty. Thematically, Fowles criticized the dichotomy of Victorians’ attitude in his depiction of the main character Charles Smithson, and parodied the tradition of realist novels to show self-consciousness. Structurally, Fowles appeared directly or indirectly in his novels and presented multiple endings. This feature encouraged readers to intervene in the process of meaning creation with creative works which is a unique structure and narrative style. We can see Fowles’s purpose and efforts as crucial elements of the evolution of his novel.
