The Wind Blows

Introduction

The number of characters is 6 but I think we can include the wind itself as another one. They’re names are “Mother”, Marie Swainson, Mr Bullen ,the-girl-before-her on her piano lessons Matilde, Bogey and as I said the wind, being this three the most important.

We can see there’s a conflict between Matilde and her mother.

The story is settledin a windy autumn day and in the house first, on her piano lesson later and last on the esplanade.

Narration and point of view

The narrator is intrusive, as a subject and object of thenarration; we guess the discourse of the narrator in the process of writing.

*The relation between sequences is not parallel because we've got flash back when she’s remembering her piano lesson.

*The time duration is an alternation betweenscene and some pauses used to describe someone.

*Related to time distances it is all in present except for the end when she uses “where we walked that windy day” where she uses past.

I think it is not an Aristotelian plot due to we may have
-an exposition on the first paragraph
-a rising action from “a perfect idiot” to “but mother has seen”,
-a climax from“Matilda!” to “running down the road”
-a falling action from “in waves in clouds” to “and opens Beethoven “
But then there's another kind of climax or turning point from “lets have a little of” to...
