When we ask the questions, How do we find significant Plots for our lives? How do we make life narratable? We find that the answers are most clearly dramatized in narratives of an autobiographical cast...I choose Great Expectations.... Iflor in this pseudo autobiography, Dickens adopts the revealing strategy of taking a "life" and creating the demarcations of a "plot" within it. The novel will indeed be concerned with finding a plot and losing it, with the precipitation of the sense of plottedness around its hero and his eventual "cure" from plot.

VIVA MODERN CRITICAL INTERPRETATIONS presents the best current criticism on the most widely read and studied poems, novels and dramas of the Western world, from Oedipus Rex and the Iliad to such modern and contemporary works as William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury and Don Delillo’s White Noise.
