An Old Fiend
|
|
|
Novelist E. M. Forster used the term round to describe fictional characters whose complexities and contradictions are apparent and, most notably, who transform in some way that is significant yet ultimately credible for the reader. By this definition, I propose that Arnold Friend, the diabolical fiend in Joyce Carol Oates’ Where are you going, Where have you been? is not in fact a round character. Is Arnold Friend a complex and contradictory character? In various ways he is. Arnold Friend knows things about Connie an apparent stranger could not. He knows who she was with the previous night, who her friends are and where her family is.
