dixie4x42000 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have to write a commentary comparing the narrative techniques in Heart of Darkness and Wuthering Heights. I need to discuss things like why Joseph Conrad chooses not to name the narrator and why both authors use narrarators in their novles. Anything interesting that I should discuss? Ideas?

dixie4x42000 Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Ok, thanks abel. Maarten, you n00b. I got the rubric for the essay today with the question we have to answer. Here it is: A story has to be told by somebody. Compare in detail your impressions of the “story-tellers” in Heart of Darkness and Wuthering Heights. Was the “story-teller” the same as the writher (implicitly or explicitly) or not? How does this question influence your reading? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay D Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 If you didn't have to do it that way I'd comment on the dark themes in both books. Maybe you can incorporate them with your narrative-style thesis. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
