Can you give some examples of 'governess of fiction' in classic literature?

In literature, 'The Diamond Age' by Neal Stephenson is an example of data fiction. It features a highly - detailed, data - influenced fictional world with nanotechnology and complex social structures. Also, 'Daemon' by Daniel Suarez presents a fictional world where a computer daemon uses real - world data to carry out a complex and far - reaching plan. The way data is integrated into the fictional plot makes these works examples of data fiction.

Some religious allegories can be seen as pious fiction. For instance, 'The Pilgrim's Progress' by John Bunyan. It is a fictional story that uses the journey of a character to represent the spiritual journey of a Christian. It is full of symbolic elements and moral teachings. It is not a literal account but a work of fiction that promotes pious beliefs and values within the Christian faith.

Sure. In 'Moby - Dick', Ishmael can be seen as adrift in a way. He's a young man with no real purpose until he signs up on the whaling ship. His journey on the ship, in pursuit of the white whale, is also full of moments where he and the crew are adrift in the vast ocean, both literally and metaphorically as they struggle with the idea of the whale and their own fates.

Sure. For classic fantasy, 'The Chronicles of Narnia' by C.S. Lewis is a great example. It has talking animals, magic, and a whole new world. In terms of classic fiction, 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen is a well - known work. It's set in a more realistic world of the English gentry, dealing with themes like love, marriage, and social class.

Yes, for instance, some of the mass - produced thriller novels. They usually start with a big event like a kidnapping or a terrorist threat. Then the hero, who is often a tough - as - nails ex - military or police officer, goes on a hunt for the bad guys. The bad guys are always very one - dimensional and evil. And in the end, the hero saves the day. This kind of repetitive and predictable structure makes it straitjacket fiction. Also, some chick - lit novels where the main character is always a young, single woman in a big city dealing with career and relationship issues in a very typical way can be examples of straitjacket fiction.

The Great Gatsby could also be considered in a way. It is set in a fictional world of the Jazz Age, but it thinly veils the social hierarchies, dreams, and disillusionments of the time. Fitzgerald was exploring real - world concepts like the pursuit of the American Dream and the hollowness of the upper class through this fictional story. There are many details in the novel that are clearly reflections of the broader society at that time.

From 'Pride and Prejudice', 'I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.' This line is hard because it shows Elizabeth's complex feelings towards Mr. Darcy. It reveals her pride and how it has been affected by his actions, which is a central theme in their relationship's development.

Another great one is from 'Oedipus Rex'. The discovery that Oedipus has unknowingly killed his father and married his mother is a huge plot twist. It's a tragic turn of events that drives the whole Greek tragedy forward and has been studied for centuries due to its complex and disturbing nature. It shows how fate can be so cruel and how our actions can have unforeseen and horrible consequences.

Yes, they are somewhat common. In many classic novels set in a time when governesses were prevalent, such as in some Victorian - era literature, the idea of a governess disciplining naughty boys was a part of the social fabric depicted. It was a way to show the strict upbringing and moral education of the time.
