This study investigates normalizing taboos and crimes in George Cockroft’s The Dice Man and their impact on the manifestation of social dysfunction. The study explores a previously unexamined subject. There is very little research about this novel, and previous research did not address this topic. It attempts to answer the main research question of how breaking the social codes and challenging societal norms in postmodern society would lead to a dysfunctional society. The act of normalizing taboos is evident and takes various ways. The characters are obsessed with challenging social values to gain absolute freedom, which leads to transcending all ethical boundaries. Their continuous attempts to normalize taboos are the main factor in social dysfunction. The current study, therefore, focuses on the various ways of normalizing taboos, such as revolution against societal norms, family fracture, murder, violence, rape, etc. This study is eclectic; it combines sociological theories and psychological concepts implied to draw upon the manifestation of social dysfunction. Including both aspects would validate the analysis and discussions presented in this paper. The study's findings would contribute to the literature about The Dice Man and provide a new reading of the novel.
