Suicide in literature : ウィキペディア英語版 | Suicide in literature It is common to depict suicide in literature. Suicide, the act of deliberately killing oneself, is a prominent action in many important works of literature. Authors use the suicide of a character to portray defiance, despair, love, or honor. Whether it is written as the ultimate act of devotion or the result of depression, the act of suicide was and is a prevalent action within the context of English literature. ==Novels== According to Lorna Ruth Wiedmann, novelistic suicide patterns first emerge in the nineteenth century. She categorizes nineteenth-century works based on five themes: ‘murder-followed-by-suicide; the survivor of suicide; age and the suicide; the suicide’s choice of method; and gender and suicide.’〔Wiedmann, Lorna Ruth, “Suicide in American Fiction, 1798-1909” (diss. University of Wisconsin–Madison, 1995)〕 Kevin Grauke states that suicide serves an "ambivalent rhetorical function" 〔Grauke, Kevin, "I cannot bear to be hurted anymore" Suicide as Dialectical Ideological Sign in Nineteenth-Century American Realism〕 in the works of the nineteenth-century. Authors such as Kate Chopin, Ernest Hemingway, and Virginia Woolf include themes of suicide in their writing.
