Abstract	This paper attempts to look into the complexities and challenges surrounding representation of violence in literary texts by examining the inter-relationships between narrative, text and discourse. Most writers who deal with violence in their works narrativize violence with an attempt to eschew violence and its damaging effects on human beings. But it is also a debatable issue whether their narratives always achieve their desired effects as a theoretical analysis of the nature of language, text, and discourse highlights the complexity of any narrative. Just as discourse legitimizes certain ideas and delegitimizes some others, language itself operates as a discursive agency. Within this theoretical paradigm, this paper attempts to shed some light on the challenges and complexities involved in narratives that deal with violence and trauma.
