Oroonoko: A True History (1688) is a work of travel fiction that is split between two narrative voices; beginning with a first person narrative supported by Behn's interesting use of personal voice and progressing to the third person observations of Oroonoko as both a prince and as a slave, Behn creates a realistic and somewhat believable piece of fiction. As a result of this duo narrative, the perspectives of the narrative voices dominate the text, and therefore influence the reader to adapt…

Studies, it is significant to state the difference between the narrative and story. According to K. R. Jennings (2015) “A story is a structured narrative. It has a beginning, middle and end. It typically contains other ingredients too, like characters and a plot.” Furthermore Jennings states that “a narrative, on the other hand, is a sequence of events. It has no standard form or structure. No distinct beginning or end.” Simply put, narrative is principally the order in which something is placed…

film by Su Friedrich focusing on her family dynamics during her childhood. Using the basic narrative structure of film, consisting of a narrated character “arc”, metaphorical exposition, idiosyncratic complications, climax, and resolution, it develops its own conventions that can be compared to that of a Hollywood-style narrative. The visuals and narrative voiceover are able to create a coherent narrative despite having an episodic nature of 26 chapters in a reverse A-Z order. Although the film…

it must have an ending. Another layer to the world is added through the narrative from the book that character Charlie is trying to make into an adaptation. Again, this narrative is not exactly a frame, because while the story may at first seem disconnected from the ‘real world’ it is the autobiographical account of the writer who Charlie’s character starts to obsess over. This film is a lot lighter on the unrequited love, but the amount of one-sided interest that Charlie feels is almost…

death(s), or any other identifying details. As the story unfolds, we realize that “death,” though used literally in the story, is also a word laden with many meanings. Intellectual death, the death of youth, the death of love, (both of literal lovers and the ability to access love) and the death of order. In fact death, in some ways, actually represents life. The death of monotony is reflective of renewed vitality, the death of routine is a chance for new adventure, and the literal death of the…

(Gen ) and Joseph forgiveness of his brothers (Gen 45: 1-28). Prior to these isolated incidents the previous mention of siblings rivalry was the story of Cain and Abel (Gen), which ultimately ends with fratricide. Even within the reconciliation narratives found in Genesis, the only positive one discovered is in Genesis 45: 1-28, the other Esau’s forgiveness of Jacob ends on a bittersweet note. Despite having forgiven Jacob’s deception, Esau and Jacob’s brotherly relationship is never fully…

entity that comes from nowhere and seems to be different from every other character present in the story. Leaving an audience in a purgatory state when deciding what this character truly is and how he became such a significant part of the plot. This narrative gap as described by Abbott is a hole within the novel that the other characters are trying to figure out as well. Making this vast gap larger and larger with no end in sight. Moreover, the gothic genre of the story pushes the audience to…

intro) Vladimir Propp was a Russian folklorist and scholar whose contributions are both enormously important and highly accessible for the understanding of narratives found on television and in the media in general. Propp argues that there are 31 different series of rules and functions that all narratives follow. In “Propp, de Saussure, and the Narrative” Arthur Berger breaks down the 31 different rules and functions, the first function is the initial situation in which the main character is…

attempted to increase his intelligence quotient (IQ). As a result of this research-based intervention, Charlie's IQ was successfully tripled. Likewise, the same experiment was conducted on a laboratory mouse, Algernon. The structure of the novel is a narrative style that helps the author intentionally represent Charlie's inner transformations through his reflective journal. These reflections are written from a first person perspective and contain multiple spelling and grammatical mistakes at the…

living in. There is also a way to see that the child is a marker of past, present and future. When looking at childhood, we can also see that one of the main points is that it is a literary narrative, meaning that it is telling a story, and we can see that childhood can be a big part of their literary narratives. In Octavia Butler’s “Bloodchild,” David Foster Wallace’s “Incarnations of Burned Children,” Jamaica Kincaid’s “Girl,” Ursula Le Guin’s…
