Summary/Abstract: The present paper aims at foregrounding facets of solitude as experienced by characters in contemporary Anglo-Saxon writings as a consequence of their social inhibition and lack of exposure to the challenges of physical environment they evolve in, as devised by their authors in a constant attempt to disclose the roots of the process of their isolation, loneliness, singleness, as well as some engaging ways of recovery within the context of their fictitious lives. The selection conflates texts and ideas gravitating around the mental, cognitive space that characters share, as well as the outcome of their particular state of confinement decided for them by their creators.
