White Noise Tentative Thesis

For the average reader, Don DeLillo’s White Noise is not a very easy novel to read and thoroughly digest on a ‘first read’.  It is loaded with multiplicity and layers of confusion with a wide array of seemingly completely random and unrelated circumstances and things – hence the title of White Noise is very appropriate.  In the beginning and possibly throughout the story, the reader feels lost and must go back and reread sections or possibly the entire novel two or three or more times in order to be able to take it all in and begin to understand the many different themes, motifs and plots.  The main theme that seems to stand out foremost in each of the characters throughout the entirety of White Noise is a person’s fear of death, which in reality is really a person’s fear of the unknown.
