Abstract:

This paper examines the plot structure of Wole Soyinka’s The Interpreters. The novel has been adjudged difficult in terms of language especially on the choice of lexical items and syntactic structure. Another area that has proved difficult is the plot structure of the novel which is rather cobweb-like. Using a discursive approach, the paper analyses the various characters that move the fictional universe of the novel. With the aid of a web-like diagram, the paper demonstrates that the novel indeed does not have any linear but a twist of stream of consciousness episodes that give rise to the web plot.
