A life of their own Jan 26, 2008
But I learn more about the consciousness of the soldier in Chekhov's 10-page story "The Kiss" than I do about the consciousness of Waverley in Walter Scott's eponymous novel, because Chekhov's inquiry into how his soldier's mind works is more acute than Scott's episodic romanticism. Forster struggles to explain how we feel that most of Dickens's characters are flat and yet, at the same time, that these cameos obscurely move us - he claims that Dickens's own vitality makes them "vibrate" a bit on...
