![]() And it is not I who say it: it was the story the one that cleared this point for me Joyce mocks the reader putting his main character in the reader’s same position and misguiding him the same way that Gabriel is misguided by his instincts. But it would be too easy and, partially knowing Joyce, one should know that he usually puts easy solutions to misguide the reader from the real meaning of what he is trying to say. The easiest way to go would be to state that “the dead” is none other than the “main dead” of the story: Michael Furey, Gretta’s young and innocent dead lover. There is a lot of ambiguity in this noun because its singular and plural form are exactly the same, so Joyce could be alluding to one, two, three or a thousand dead and there would be no grammatical way of knowing how many are alluded in the title. ![]() The great question mark that Joyce’s “The Dead” creates is precisely who is this or who are these “dead” mentioned in the title. ![]() “There was grace and mystery in her attitude as if she were a symbol of something.” ![]() ![]() ![]() When one of the Riehl cows escapes to visit another cow down the lane, Cindy chases after it and meets a handsome Englisher named Drew.

It is toward this wilderness as well as toward the romantic notions it engenders that Dickey turns an ironic and critical eye in Deliverance. Their fascination with the frontier, either literal or figurative, with the American Adam in a new Garden of Eden, with the noble savage, and with the pastoral quality of the forests has provided American literature with some of its most persistent and significant themes. The American wilderness has from the beginning excited the imagination and stirred the romantic impulse of such writers as William Bartram in the eighteenth century, Fenimore Cooper in the nineteenth century, andWilliamFaulkner in the present century. It is, however, much more than simply a superb instance of that genre: it also offers an important criticism of a theme that is both basic and pervasive in the American experience-the mystique of the wilderness. Davis University of North Carolina, Greensboro Most critics and readers of James Dickey's best-selling novel Deliverance agree that it is an exciting adventure story, suspenseful and sometimes nerve-shattering in its impact.
