Abstract
marriage is a historically worldwide phenomenon. However, different times and cultures hold distinct views towards marriage. What constitutes a traditional or untraditional marriage varies greatly from culture to culture and even from time to time within a particular culture. Examining the portrayal of marital relations within a culture's stories allows for a greater understanding of the variety of views held towards marriage within that culture in a given time. It is through the portrayal of marriage in Y Ban's The Younger Brother, Duong Thu Huong's Beyond Illusions, and Nguyen Quang Than's The Waltz of the Chamber Pot that vietnamese perceptions of marital norms and abnormalities post-American conflict will be assessed.
