The worldview of She Unnames Them is postmodern. Humans have the power over the universe and do not talk with God as they used to.
The six worldview characteristics:
★God and the Universe- the quote "You and your father[...] It's been really useful, but it doesn't exactly seem to fit very well lately" illustrates that the father is God and He exists; however, God no longer has control over the universe and humans no longer listen to God.
★Humanity and Identity- Humans have power over the universe.
★Conflict and Suffering- "I could not chatter away as I used to do, taking it all for granted" shows that the conflict is the author wants God to talk with her/him.
★Hope and Redemption- "Goodbye, dear. I hope the garden key turns up" explains that the Garden of Eden is the ultimate hope which suggesets that there is no hope.
★Values and Relationship- The relationship between humans and God is slowly washing away. From the text, "One of my reasons for doing what I did was that talk was getting us nowhere." explains that God and humans used to have good communications, which was valued; however, the relationshop is no longer valid and valued.
★Truth and Reality- According to postmodernism, humans no longer need and want God and they eventually become gods of the universe.
