    • Abstract:
      This article presents an approach to fiction devoted to detailing, visually presenting, and analyzing structural patterns in the literary text. This enhanced formalism will be illustrated with elementary examples ranging from the world of music to the world of the Brothers Grimm. Employing this "architectonic" approach would complement more familiar critical approaches and perhaps, given its more "objective" quality, appeal to the technically oriented student and encourage that student to engage more fully in the literature classroom.
