Document Summary
Critics like to read the story as about the philosophical meaning of death or an autobiographical account of the author"s life. Form or structure that stands out in the story is point of view told from omniscient perspective but free and direct discourse continues intervening. Free and direct discourse is commentary on going against the ordered mind (disrupts the very ordered structure of the story) delirium becomes unstructured and pre-delirium is a build-up of leading to the restructuring through free indirect discourse. How would you interpret this story from a marxist perspective? (p. 299) screaming and thinking at the same time; describing her home. Lack of quotations on her speaking to the soldier isn"t represented but her own thoughts are in quotation (shows further alienation) (p. 321) being critical of the war transcending miranda and voicing author"s opinion (p. 339) Devi born in 1926 born in india, died at age of 90.
