In my thesis, I set out to analyse the novel of Ferenc Barn\u00e1s entitled A kilencedik [The ninth] from among the works belonging hereto, in which gender relations, the manner of the everyday operation of power can only be described by a complex narration technique. From the viewpoint of the little boy acting as the main character we can see a patriarchal society based on violence and oppression, of which the child is a victim with limited perspective,
\nbut is also a reflexive narrator thereof. In my paper I aim to prove that this duality which seems as a paradox in the novel can be explained by the presence of postmodern irony. It is the ironic identity that makes the critical narration and interpretation of the demonic world of masculine dominance possible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
