Answer:
style of novel
Explanation:
3.Novella :
• A Novella, the word originated from
the Italian word ‘novelle’, is a type of prose
fiction which is shorter than a full length
novel and longer than short stories. It is
a well-stuctured yet short narrative, often
satiric or realistic in tone. It usually focuses
on one incident or issue with one or two
main characters and takes place at a single
tradition. Some of the famous novellas in
English are -
• ‘The Heart of Darkness’ by Joseph
Conrad
• ‘The Turn of the Screw’ by Henry
James
• ‘Billy Budd’ by Hermann Melville
• ‘Death in Venice’ by Thomas Mann
• ‘Seize The Day’ by Saul Bellow
• ‘Pearl’ by John Steinbeck
2.stream of Consciousness novel :
Stream of consciousness is a phrase coined
by William James in his treatise ‘Principles
of Psychology.’ (1890). It means the flow
of the thoughts. Incidents in the plot are
in the sequence of their occurrences. The
novelist narrates them as they enter the
mind of the character.
