  • Interesting, but I don't agree.

    I didn't agree with your interpretation on the reasons behind the use of Muriel Sparks time-scheming. You said that "When reading the novel the reader cannot form their own conclusions of the set or predict any outcome." I think this is completely untrue, at several points in the novel the reader is aluded to the outcome, which is ofcourse the betrayel of Miss Brodie by one of her set. Furthermore, to say that the reader cannot form their own conclusions is quite naive. You say that some of the narrative techniques are confusing, ok this is true at times, but to say that the reader is being "brainwashed" is a blatent misinterpretaion. Finally, ofcourse the reader can form their own opinions and conclusions on the novel!
