Synopsis

This book is an examination of Stephen Crane's novella, "The Monster," and its counterpart, the short story, "The Third Violet." Both stories are included in the book for readers to analyze the contrasts between the two. Beginning with an introduction that provides context on Crane's life and work and their relevance to the telling of these stories, the author then delves into the themes and writing styles present in each. Among them are the consistent themes of personal vs. impersonal storytelling, the influence of Crane's journalism, and the contrast between the author's experience of the world and the way he chose to portray it in both stories. The final section of the book looks at the stories' enduring power and significance, concluding with an evaluation of the insights this comparative study provides regarding the author's growth and development as an important American writer.
