A postmodernist work is more likely to have B. a more playful attitude than a modernist work. This is because most of the modernist works revolved around the WWI, which was a dark and tragic time, and postmodernism started after the wars, so those were not a dominant topic of their literature. Thus, the authors could experiment more with the genre, be more playful, all the while still talking about serious topics, usually in a cynical and surreal way.
