Margaret Drabble is a representative of postmodern fiction. Her British voice reflects the evolution of human beings, their quest for meaning in life in the postmodern society. The research paper focuses on the construction of “meaning” through the British Writer Margaret Drabble’s A summer Cage-Bird proving with the theory of meaning proposed by Viktor Frankl. This paper examines how meaning could be constructive through the encounter of persons and experience of love and how love is a means of salvation and fulfilment. It explores how Drabble revolves her fiction around real life experiences in the novel. This also discusses that love leads to liberation of the individual. Drabble uses the experience of love as a vehicle to express the development of the inner unity, self-awareness, and commitment that are within the potential of humanity in general.
