Seeking An Aesthetics Of Metafiction, Erin J. Vachon

Senior Honors Projects

According the Oxford English Dictionary, metafiction is ‘fiction in which the author self-consciously alludes to the artificiality or literariness of a work by parodying or departing from novelistic conventions…and narrative techniques.’ In short, metafiction announces itself as a textual artifact and examines the very nature of fiction. Metafiction has been defined as such, but I seek the effect of the text upon the act of reading and the reader: into what space is the reader initiated when the boundaries between author-text-reader become dismantled or confused? What does the act of reading become, beyond a mere analytic exercise? I am searching …

Green Waves, Manoli Kouremetis

English Theses & Dissertations

Winnie's anger and depression following his father's death are complicated by his budding relationship with Faye Linnet, his best friend's twin sister. This situation, especially as it is told from a young narrator's perspective, illustrates how adolescents deal with adult emotions. When life experiences yield inadequate coping mechanisms, these young people embody their pain and pleasure. …

Helen, Alfreda, Babci: A Woman's Struggle For Her Own Destiny, Christopher Koston

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his essay Self-Reliance, defined complacency as the ultimate satisfaction of the self despite everything.

In following Emerson’s philosophy, I believe that we possess innate qualities that give us the potential to overcome such destiny. One can become a stone in the middle of a river, impervious to its flow. My grandmother, Alfreda, had brief tastes of …
