Summary/Abstract: This article is focused on an epiphany in the novel during the period named “the early modernism”. It shows a different perspective onto aesthetics of the novel, “aesthetics of scream”, because epiphany as a cognitive process related to a symbol is presented there and it brings explanation, why every symbol is an epiphany, but every epiphany is not a symbol. In cognitive experience both as a symbol and an epiphany take place perception and insight.
