In this study, Herta Müller’s novel “The Fox Was Already a Hunter”, in which she sheds light on the Ceausescu period, which has gained a worldwide reputation with the Nobel Prize in Literature, is discussed in sociopolitical terms. Müller, who deals with the dictatorship, authority and oppression of Ceausescu in the novel, opens the doors of an extraordinary fictional world to the reader with her narrative style. Müller, who focuses on coming to terms with the past while writing her works in a fictional sense, also embodies the historical panorama of Romania. Totalitarian oppression and regime are emphatically felt in the novel with the narrator and the way of expression, and this situation is the main determinant of the novel. Since all social and political data are evaluated within the socio-political element in Müller’s novels, it is possible to say that investigating them also reveals Müller’s writing style. The ordeal of what she has lived through improves her creative ability and leads to the emergence of her poetic attitude. Müller aims to criticize communism that brought misery to these lands (Romania) by making the society she is in a tool with her unique transfer style and wants to show that this regime has nothing to give to the people. She criticizes the ignoring of the experiences, being silent and not reacting to them, and emphasizes this in all the works she deals with
