This paper discusses that the image of the children has a function as vehicles
to reveal the intimate and close relationship between themselves and adults who
victimise children under the oppressive authority for their social and ideological benefits
in McEwan’s novel
The Cement Garden. The image of childhood is a social and cultural construction. As Pifer asserts “for novelists this image has undergone radical
transformation since the nineteenth century, when Charles Dickens and his contemporary
Ariès translated the Romantic idyll of natural innocence into touching versions of ‘poor
children’ set adrift in a harsh and inhumane world.”
10 As the child image has changed
from period to period, its reflection has been altered in fiction as well.
