▼a This dissertation employs narrative theory to contextualize Elena Ferrante's successful saga, L'amica geniale, within the larger tapestry of European novelistic discourses. It engages with conceptions of narrative structure put forth by critics like Ortega y Gasset, Brooks, and Winnett to understand how L'amica geniale offers cutting commentary on our exegetic practices and advances a geometry of narrative entanglement. I contend that Ferrante recuperates and italicizes nineteenth-century modes of storytelling, displaying a form of epistemological tension rooted in a movement away from a belief in plot's semantic potentialities and into the postulation of a poetics of smarginatura or rupture. I support this contention by scrutinizing the text's several endings, as well as its apparent linear trajectory, through Genette's notion of the arbitraire, coming to the conclusion that such linearity is entirely constructed by the protagonist in an effort to exact vengeance on her friend. I proceed to examine how the textual apparatus bears the brunt of this revelation. In doing so, I adopt Brooks's thermodynamic model and reconfigure it into a metabolic model meant to monitor the set of activities and energetic transformations at work in the text. A look at Dickens's Great Expectations, in Chapter 3, becomes essential to understand the formal aspects, especially as they relate to plot and plotting, of the framework in which Ferrante is working |
