Why did naturalism ended?

Naturalism as a literary movement began to decline in the early 20th century due to a shift in artistic and philosophical perspectives. The rise of modernism, with its focus on subjectivity, abstraction, and the exploration of consciousness, overshadowed the deterministic and often bleak view of human nature that characterized naturalism. Additionally, the trauma of World War I prompted writers to seek new forms of expression that reflected the complexities of the human experience, moving away from the rigid frameworks of naturalism. This transition ultimately led to the exploration of more diverse and experimental narrative techniques.
