A time of significant change in many facets of society at the beginning of the 20th century sparked a critical crisis in Irish history. After the Second World War, the advantages that late capitalism provided for its citizens—along with all of its negative repercussions on people's lives—became more apparent. Additionally, advancements in every field have fundamentally altered people’s secular and religious worldviews. People’s sense of fidelity to tradition and family has been disrupted as a result of these developments. Ireland’s independence caused unease and apprehension among the general populace. The ideas of dedication, clarity, and non-dispersion that were passed down from the previous generation are no longer relevant to the younger generation. As a result of human relations’ adaptation to internal and external changes, they now have a new dimension. In The Green Road, Anne Enright portrayed the state of contemporary Irish society and the people who live there despite the aforementioned challenges. The primary goal of this study is to examine how psychological issues and societal changes in Enright’s The Green Road affect the issue of how the family and the individual are fragmented. By depicting the struggles of a person who separates from the family in the rapidly expanding modern world, Enright illustrates how the family and family members were dispersed. The author stressed a solution to their feelings and sense of family devotion by bringing together family members in opposition to society and individual fragmentation. To show the strength of human psychology and relationships in integrating society and self, Enright has examined characters’ fragmentation and reintegration in the novel.
